London, Jan 3 : France''s justice minister Rachida Dati gave birth to a baby girl in Paris late Friday.
The 43-year-old, however, has not yet revealed the name of the child''s father.
Zohra was delivered 15 days prematurely by caesarean section in a maternity clinic, reports the Telegraph.
Dati confessed that she has a "complicated" private life, and that the father of her first child would naturally be a subject for speculation.
French internet chat rooms and blogs have been inundated in recent months with rumours about her private life.
Dati confirmed pregnancy rumours to reporters last summer, adding: "I will say nothing more for the moment about the father."
