How to add test coverage to a private constructor?

This is the code:

package com.XXX;
public final class Foo {
  private Foo() {
    // intentionally empty
  }
  public static int bar() {
    return 1;
  }
}

This is the test:

package com.XXX;
public FooTest {
  @Test 
  void testValidatesThatBarWorks() {
    int result = Foo.bar();
    assertEquals(1, result);
  }
  @Test(expected = java.lang.IllegalAccessException.class)
  void testValidatesThatClassFooIsNotInstantiable() {
    Class cls = Class.forName("com.XXX.Foo");
    cls.newInstance(); // exception here
  }
}

Works fine, the class is tested. But Cobertura says that there is zero code coverage of the private constructor of the class. How can we add test coverage to such a private constructor?
