Penelope Cruz refuses to address engagement rumours
November 19, 2009
“IS she or isn’t she?” was the question on everyone’s lips following Penelope Cruz’s appearance on David Letterman Tuesday when the talk show host asked if she’s engaged.
Rumours that Cruz, 35, is set to wed beau Javier Bardem surfaced when the actress wore a sapphire-and-diamond sparkler on her ring finger at the October premiere of Broken Embraces. “I don’t feel comfortable talking about my private life in public,” Cruz told Letterman when he asked her point-blank if she’s gearing up to marry Bardem, 40. Letterman pressed and Cruz continued, “I’ve been here a few times with you, you know I’m tough. One thing I don’t do, I don’t lie about my personal life,” she said. “It’s sacred to me. It’s my life. But I don’t give details about it because I am allergic to that.”
Letterman then asked, “So you know, but you don’t want to tell me?” “I know,” Cruz replied with a giggle, “but I choose not to share some things!” In October, it was reported that Cruz and Bardem had been telling their closest pals they’re planning to walk down the aisle in the next few months. “They’re telling friends they will get married,” said one insider. – SS
