“Rosey suddenly gave up drinking about a month ago,” a source tells New Idea magazine. “And while she won’t admit she’s pregnant, she’s not denying it either.”

The Oscar winner and his current gal pal already made headlines last month when the notoriously hot-headed actor was accused of shoving and spitting on a female photographer. Police declined to press charges.
