Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are rumored to be engaged, according to several online reports.
Penelope’s rep as well as Javier’s rep have no comment.
“They tried to keep it very private and quiet,” a source tells Us Weekly.
A pal told the New York Daily News that Penelope wants to marry Javier to appease Penelope’s Catholic parents — given the perky rumors that she’s pregnant, which she’s denied.
Penelope, 35, and Javier, 40, first met on the set of Jamon, Jamon in 1992.
Penelope Cruz is expecting her first child with longtime love Javier Bardem, sources confirm exclusively to JustJared.com.
“Penelope is about four months pregnant,” a source tells Just Jared. “She’s really healthy now and will be a great mother.”
Penelope may be expecting, but she won’t be tying the knot anytime soon. She told the August issue of UK’s Psychologies magazine, “When I [have babies], I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life. I don’t know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children.”
Penelope, 35, and Javier, 40, appeared together in three films — Jamón, Jamón, Live Flesh and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
Penelope has been in Germany promoting her latest movie, Broken Embrace.
Congrats to the happy couple!
P.S. This might be why Penelope decided to quit smoking.

FYI: Vanity Fair canceled its most lavish bash for the Oscars because of the writers strike. “After much consideration, and in support of the writers and everyone else affected by this strike, we have decided that this is not the appropriate year to hold our annual Oscar party,” said a Vanity Fair spokesperson. “We want to congratulate all of this year’s nominees and we look forward to hosting our 15th Oscar party next year.”
Javier Bardem won the supporting-actor prize for No Country for Old Men and was quite the comedian during his acceptance speech: “Thank you, guys, for hiring me, and thank you for taking the hard work of choosing the good takes instead of the ones where I really sucked.”
