Penelope Cruz has released a statement through her spokesperson confirming she is expecting her first child with husband Javier Bardem. The 36-year-old beauty was photographed recently with what seemed to be a baby bump while shooting scenes for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ and it has now been revealed she is four-and-a-half months pregnant.
Penelope has been notoriously private about her life, marrying 41-year-old Javier in a secret ceremony in the Bahamas in early July. However, she has previously confirmed her desire to have children, although she confessed she would be happy to adopt.
She said:
“I’d love to have kids. Maybe I’ll adopt about 20 children – that’s been my dream since I was a little girl. I want to have my own kids, but also adopt. For a while I’ve had the feeling that my life won’t be complete if I don’t adopt. “I think I would be a perfect mother. I love babies.”
