Foxiest of all foxy singers Carla Bruni denied reports that she secretly wed French president Nicolas Sarkozy. The couple hooked up shortly after Sarkozy’s divorce from his third wife in October. Carla said she shrugged off the criticism from the French public.

In her first interview since shacking up with Sarkozy, she tells French left-wing newspaper Liberation, “[we] are “not yet married, even if we are planning to.”

After rumors of a wedding spread, Bruni says her friends sent her a “collective text message” expressing concern that she was moving too fast.

She calls the focus on their relationship “a hurricane of madness.”

She also says she has no plans to accompany Sarkozy, the country’s first unmarried president, on official visits, including one later this week to New Delhi.

“I cannot take part in an official visit with the president,” she says. “It’s regretful.”

The media attention has been good for Carla: although her 2006 disc “No Promises” was simply amazing, it failed to crack the US music charts. Since dating Sarkozy, however, Carla landed a new recording deal.
