Holding her handbag tightly over her stomach as she stepped out in London last week, Jordan added weight to the rumours that she may be expecting baby number four.
And the former glamour model – who attended the birthday party of her make-up artist, Gary Cockerill, at the Cadogan Hotel with her fiancé, Leandro Penna – left pals gossiping again about whether or not she’s expecting
a new arrival.
'Jordan kept her handbag glued to her stomach at all times'
An onlooker says: “Jordan kept her handbag glued to her stomach at all times, so nobody could see if there was a bump. It was as if the bag was surgically attached to her. When she got up to go to the bathroom, the bag was pinned to her tummy as if she was trying to hide something.
“Although she sipped on what could have been a white wine spritzer a couple of times, she left most of it in the glass.
“Jordan also seemed to be in bad mood, which could be down to hormones, and was snapping constantly at Leandro. She seemed miserable and kept saying how fat she looked after gaining 5lbs in two weeks.”
Jordan, 34 – who’s mum to Harvey, 10, with footballer Dwight Yorke, plus Junior, seven, and Princess, five, from her marriage to Peter Andre – has openly said she’s wanted another child for years now.
The source adds: “She would be delighted to be pregnant and has said that at least having a baby with Leo would finally prove that she’s moved on from Pete.”
'I'm so over Pete and I'm sick of everyone saying otherwise'
As Closer recently reported, Peter was said to be set to propose to student girlfriend Emily MacDonagh, 23, and Jordan told her pals recently: “I’m so over Pete and I’m sick of everyone saying otherwise.”
But insiders worry that the timing may not be great for her and Leandro, 26, after their very public row at the birthday party.
Our source says: “Leo seems to be getting a bit of an earful from Jordan at the moment. At Gary’s party, her attitude towards him was shocking. She kept telling him to ‘shut up’ when he tried to join in the conversation.
“He grabbed a rose from the table to give to her, but she threw it on the floor, snapping: ‘Don’t embarrass me!’ She told him he was boring and immature.”
The star was keen to keep her past pregnancies secret and has admitted that being pregnant can put her in a bad mood.
In 2010, she said: “I hate the first trimester when you feel fat and look a bit fat, but you can’t tell anyone you’re pregnant – oh and the sickness! I get very sick.”
Last week, Closer reported how Jordan – who’s suffered two miscarriages and tried IVF treatment in 2010 during her 11-month marriage to Alex Reid – had cut down on her gruelling workouts and ditched booze, causing pals to speculate she may have some baby news.
A source says: “Jordan’s determined to have another baby. She’s been telling people how much she’d love another one.
“Leandro can sometimes find her hard to cope with. He wants to be her loving companion, but doesn’t like being treated this way.”
Last week, Jordan was seen hiding her stomach again by wearing a loose-fitting top when she appeared on TV wearing a “Team Rylan” T-shirt in support of X Factor’s Rylan Clark. The pair originally met when Rylan was runner-up on her Signed By Katie Price TV show earlier this year.
A source says: “Jordan’s kept in touch with Rylan since the show – she really likes him. They were catching up on
X Factor goss. Jordan joked that she fancies Rylan’s fellow contestant Staz Nair from boy band Times Red. Rylan reckons Staz is a ringer for Leandro.”
