New dad Sarkozy talks of 'profound happiness' at daughter's birth

Proud father Nicolas Sarkozy says he and wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy feel “a very profound happiness” over the birth of their first child and that mother and daughter are doing “very well”.

Proud father Nicolas Sarkozy says he and wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy feel “a very profound happiness” over the birth of their first child and that mother and daughter are doing “very well”.

It was the French leader’s first official comment about the birth, which took place yesterday at a maternity clinic in western Paris.

He did not give the baby’s name, in keeping with the couple’s wish for privacy throughout the pregnancy and labour.

“We are lucky to have been blessed by a new arrival,” Sarkozy told journalists today on a visit to a recycling plant in Normandy.

“All parents can understand the very profound happiness Carla and I feel, and at the same time everyone can understand that this happiness is all the more profound because it is private.”
