FRENCH first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy gave birth to a baby girl yesterday night - the first infant born to a sitting president of modern-day France, the French media reported.
President Nicolas Sarkozy, finishing up a meeting in Frankfurt on the euro debt crisis, was absent when the couple's first child was born shortly before 8pm local time, according to BFM TV. He reportedly arrived at the small, private Muette Clinic about 11pm- his third trip yesterday to the facility.
Europe 1 radio said the birth "went well" for the 43-year-old mother, a singer and former supermodel. She entered the medical facility in western Paris in the morning accompanied by Sarkozy, according to the reports.
There was no official confirmation of the birth. The presidential entourage reiterated earlier yesterday that no birth announcement would be forthcoming.
The couple had been coy about the impending birth from the start, with measured doses of information.
"It's obviously a happy event," Nadine Morano, a junior minister and friend of the president, told BFM, clearly reacting to the news reports. Sarkozy was "very attentive, full of attention toward Carlo" when he spoke with her by phone on Tuesday during a flight with the minister to Nice, she said.
