Carla Bruni 'gives birth to baby girl' in Paris clinic with President Sarkozy by her side

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy was tonight said to have given birth to a baby girl, according to impeccably placed sources at an exclusive Paris clinic. President Nicolas Sarkozy, 56, spent half-an-hour with his 43-year-old wife shortly after she delivered their first child together.
But both insisted that the happy event should remain a ‘private matter’, with no official announcement from the Elysee Palace.Carla Bruni, pictured last week, is reported to have given birth to a baby girl. Her husband, President Sarkozy, left the clinic this afternoon after he reportedly spent half an hour with his wife and first born daughter before heading off to a meeting in Germany with Chancellor Angela Merkel.Ms Bruni-Sarkozy, who already has a son with a previous lover, has even claimed that that her second child will never be pictured.
The strange situation saw Mr Sarkozy paying the short visit to his third wife’s bedside before heading off to a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Frankfurt. On arrival in Germany he refused to respond to any questions about his fourth child. This was despite Ms Bruni-Sarkozy apparently becoming the only serving First Lady in French history to have a baby.
