Is Penelope Cruz secretly pregnant? Penelope has been with boyfriend Javier Bardem for several years now, and she did give a curious interview at the beginning of the month, where she said she wanted babies but not a husband. Now it makes a bit more sense….

More pictures of Penelope after the jump…

Penelope said in July she wanted babies but not husbands. Now that she is looking obviously thicker around the middle, maybe it’s because she already has a baby on the way! From the LA Times:

And of course, that got us wondering if Javier Bardem might be the baby daddy.

That would be one gorgeous baby!

But there’s NO official word from her publicist.

We’ve put in calls and sent emails to her New York 42West folks.

Expect an update soon!

Penelope’s good friend Selma Hayek had a baby…maybe Penelope is following suit? What do you think? Bloat or baby? Congratulations if the rumors are true!
