Actress Penelope Cruz’s representative has dismissed reports that the Spanish beauty is expecting her first child with husband Javier Bardem.

Rumours of a baby began after it was announced that the two had married in a small secret ceremony earlier this month after three years of dating, reports dailystar.co.uk.

According to reports, Cruz would give birth to the couple's first child early next year. But a spokesperson for Cruz has clarified that the actress is not pregnant.

"She is currently shooting the upcoming action blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and it is not exactly the kind of movie you want to be doing if you're pregnant," said the representative.
