Bruni's mother tips her to become France's first lady
Italian supermodel Carla Bruni is poised to become France's first lady, her mother insists.
The 39-year-old has been dating President Nicolas Sarkozy since October, and the pair recently sent gossips into a frenzy when Bruni sported a new sapphire ring on her engagement finger during the couple's Christmas vacation in Egypt.
Bruni's mother insists the romance is more than a fling - and predicts her daughter will soon be Mrs Sarkozy.
Marisa Borini says:"My daughter is living a true love story. I think that she could very well end up with Nicolas.
"If Carla becomes the first lady of France, she'll have to keep space and time for herself to write. She needs to write her poems, compose music, record her albums. The same with her other obligations she may have, she'll need to arrange her time.
"I think that the President of the Republic doesn't just see the beautiful girl in her and that he has great respect for her artistic side. We've already spoken about that together and he's totally in agreement."
