Former co-stars and offscreen newlyweds Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem have revealed their latest collaboration: a baby.
Speculation spiked recently when a photo of Cruz on the set of the upcoming "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" surfaced sporting a noticeably fuller waistline. Bardem, who tied the knot with Cruz in July, has confirmed that his new wife is expecting.
"It is true," Bardem told reporters at a press conference in Rome promoting his summer romance film "Eat Pray Love." "I am very happy." Bardem said the Oscar-winning couple had not decided on a name yet.
Although the actor did confirm the pregnancy, he declined to dish any further, adhering to the stars' tendency to keep their personal lives private. "Don't make me say anything else," Bardem said.
The Spanish actors, who met in 1992 while filming "Jamón, Jamón" and teamed up once again for the 2008 Woody Allen-helmed movie "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," married in a small ceremony in the Bahamas in early July. The duo also have his-and-hers Oscar statuettes. Cruz won Best Supporting Actress for "Vicky" and Bardem took home Best Supporting Actor for his turn as a hair-raising murderer in "No Country for Old Men."
Up next for Cruz will be the fourth installment of the swashbuckling "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise in which the actress plays Blackbeard's daughter. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer told MTV News that Cruz, who will shake up the series as Captain Jack Sparrow's love interest, is expected to bring the heat in the upcoming role.
"She's so fiery and fun," Bruckheimer said. "I can just imagine how the screen is going to sizzle with [Cruz and Depp] on it."
