Fashion designer Roberto Cavalli has confirmed, perhaps inadvertently, that Jennifer Lopez is pregnant.
He told People magazine that Lopez “is waiting for the baby.”
“It is so complicated because every week she is getting bigger,” Cavalli said Tuesday on the magazine’s Web site.
Cavalli created free-flowing outfits for Lopez, who has been on tour with her husband, Marc Anthony.
Cavalli’s comment came after weeks of speculation, tabloid baby-bump pictures and raised eyebrows.
Lopez, 39, has declined comment. A telephone message left yesterday for her publicist, Nancy Ryder, wasn’t returned.

Phifer has an 8-year-old son, Omikaye, from his previous marriage to actress Malinda Williams.

Sheriff’s officials are investigating whether Pierce Brosnan, 54, assaulted a man in Malibu, Calif., last week.

Whitmore said Brosnan wasn’t arrested or detained.
Messages left Tuesday for Brosnan’s publicist, Jennifer Allen, weren’t returned.
