JAVIER Bardem can’t wait to become a daddy!

At a press conference in Rome for the actor’s movie with Julia Roberts, Eat Pray Love, Bardem confirmed that his wife Penelope Cruz is pregnant with the couple’s first child.

“It is true,” Javier said.

“I am very happy. Don’t make me say anything else.”

Asked if he and Cruz have a name picked out, Bardem replied, “No, not yet.”

Asked how he manages to juggle a family and career, Bardem said he didn’t know.

“It is a little too soon for me to be giving any advice,” he said. “I don’t know yet. But I will find out soon.”

Cruz has previously confirmed her desire to have children, although she confessed she would be happy to adopt.

“I’d love to have kids,” she said. “Maybe I’ll adopt about 20 children — that’s been my dream since I was a little girl. I want to have my own kids, but also adopt. For a while I’ve had the feeling that my life won’t be complete if I don’t adopt.

“I think I would be a perfect mother. I love babies.”
