Just days after the release of her new music album in which she sings of her love for Nicolas Sarkozy, Carla Bruni has expressed her desire of having a baby with the flamboyant French president.
"I'd love to have children with Nicolas. I hope to, if I am young enough. It would be a dream," Bruni, who already has a child from her first marriage, said in an interview to Vanity Fair magazine at Elysee Palace in Paris.
However, the 40-year-old former Italian supermodel-turned-singer has ruled out fertility programmes.
"If it comes, I'd be the happiest person in the world, but if it doesn't come, I'm not going to tempt the Devil. If life doesn't give me another child, well, it has given me so much already," Bruni said.
Bruni has also said that she enjoys being the First Lady of France, but is still learning the job.
"I am looking for something useful to do. I get piles of information about what I could do for culture for children, education, unhappy situations. But I need to study. I do not want to make the wrong move, and I don't want to go up against my husband.
When you are a songwriter and you say, 'I like polyandry', it is written down and it doesn't matter. But if you are a First Lady and you say, 'I like Coca-Cola light', it's a drama. I have to pay attention to every detail, and that is very new for me," she told the magazine.
Earlier this month, Bruni released her music album As if Nothing Happened in which she sings of her "30 lovers" and her love for the French president.
The music album also contains blatant references to exotic destinations, particularly in Egypt, which Bruni and Sarkozy visited last year during their lightning romance before their marriage this February.
