PENELOPE Cruz is getting ready for the birth of her first child.
The actress reportedly invited all of her female friends over to her Los Angeles home on Saturday, Jan 15 for a baby shower.
Cruz — who’s married to actor Javier Bardem – is due to give birth in the coming weeks and s said to have hosted a party for her pals at her Hollywood mansion at the weekend, with guests including supermodel Bar Refaeli, who arrived with her boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio.
After the shower, Cruz and Bardem headed off for a three-day break in Palm Springs, California to relax before the imminent arrival of their baby.
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.”
