"They tried to keep it very private and quiet," a source told the mag.
After the couple was spotted leaving an OB/GYN clinic in Madrid last month, many blogs and gossip Web sites wondered if the Spanish actress was pregnant - but another friend of the couple told the paper that the couple has shot down reports that she is expecting.
"They say the pregnancy stories aren't true," the friend said.

In August, the actress told Britain's Psychologies magazine that she wasn't sold on taking a trip to the altar, but that she felt strongly about starting a family.
"I don't know if I believe in marriage," she told the mag. "I believe in family, love and children. I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life."
Penelope's possible baby project might be unclear, but her next film project, "Nine," will hit theaters on November 25. Javier is currently working on the big screen adaptation of the popular book, "Eat, Pray, Love," with Julia Roberts.
When contacted by Access Hollywood, a rep for Javier had "no comment" and Penelope's rep could not be reached.
