The pregnancy rumors have been swirling about Penelope Cruz for months. I tend to think there are two reasons – one, Penelope has been gaining some weight (she still looks gorgeous, just a bit heavier) and two, how could any woman be with Javier Bardem, and not try to get pregnant all the time?
The rumors went into overdrive during the Cannes Film Festival, when Penelope had to miss out on some press because she allegedly had food poisoning. Some theorized that the she only had some kind of jet-lagged morning sickness though. A few weeks later, an interview with Penelope came out where she claimed she wanted babies, but not a husband. It’s thought that though Javier and Penelope are some kind of hot Spanish soul mates, neither is particularly interested in getting married.
Now Just Jared is running with a pregnancy confirmation from a “source” claiming that Penelope is four months along. I kind of believe it. Mostly I believe it because I can’t wait for hot Spanish babies!
Penelope is expecting her first child with longtime love Javier Bardem, sources confirm exclusively to JustJared.com.
“Penelope is about four months pregnant,” a source tells Just Jared. “She’s really healthy now and will be a great mother.”
Penelope may be expecting, but she won’t be tying the knot anytime soon. She told the August issue of UK’s Psychologies magazine, “When I [have babies], I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life. I don’t know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children.”
Penelope, 35, and Javier, 40, appeared together in three films — Jamón, Jamón, Live Flesh and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
Penelope has been in Germany promoting her latest movie, Broken Embrace.
Congrats to the happy couple!P.S. This might be why Penelope decided to quit smoking.

The quitting-smoking thing is actually a really good theory for Penelope’s weight gain. Many people gain a lot of weight right after they quit – but the whole Penelope-was-a-smoker-but-now-she’s-quit thing came from Life & Style, so who knows? To me, she looks knocked up, especially in this green dress in Berlin on Monday. Her boobs look bigger, and she just looks thicker. Where’s Javier? He should be gloating. He should be thrilled! It’s not everyday that two hot, sexy Oscar winners produce the perfect baby!

That dress is AH-MAZING.
YAY! Congrats to the lucky couple!
I can’t take it! My head is going to explode! That baby is going to be crazy cute (and Suri’s future spouse if there is a God).
Enjoyed them both in VCB. They appear to be a happy couple on a familial path.
That is wonderful news!! congrats!
I hope this is true! So exciting.
But, maybe she is just gaining weight because she is happy.
I think she looks healthy and amazing and curvy! But I really don’t see any extra weight.
Men can be such a bad influence in food choices.
My husband thinks I need to eat as much as him. I would be huuuuge.
i like them as a couple. she and tiny tom made no sense at all.
So glad she’s having a Bardem baby and not a Cruise baby. Pene and Tom = not a match made in anyone’s heaven.
That baby is gonna be gorgeous.
She’s looked pregnant since Cannes on – there were pictures of her in jeans and a tight shirt from a few weeks ago that convinced me. Given how model skinny she was before, my money is totally on pregnancy.
@ Ana – no friggin joke huh? My husband does the same thing, it’s annoying.
Good for her! But yeah I remember that quote. She says she believes in family,kids all that but not marriage. That’s sad. I wonder what Javier thinks about that.
The pic with the hand on the stomach is telling. I think.
