I already had a healthy daughter, I gave birth to her myself, like a simple peasant woman from Umbria, and now the second pregnancy is going very well and calmly. But do not think that you need to take an example from me. Many people my age turn to surrogate mothers or IVF clinics. And if I hadn’t been able to get pregnant, I would have been among these women too.”

Of course it's depressing. But I decided on it and had to go to the end. I told the doctor that if he told me to stay in bed until the birth of my children, then I would lie down and not move. Having children is worth it, and this is the best thing that happened in my life.

She is the most beautiful and attractive woman in the world, according to many men, he is a charming anti-hero. Monica and Vincent spent 17 years together and nevertheless broke up, managing to maintain both friendship and memories of past love. Even years after the stellar divorce, we sigh dejectedly and remember how it was.

Italian Monica Bellucci and Frenchman Vincent Cassel met in 1996 on the set of the film "The Apartment" and immediately fell in love with each other ... not at all with love, but quite the opposite. To Kassel, the girl, on whom a good half of the film set dried up, seemed “brainless” (he once admitted to this), and he saw him as an unbearable snob. At that moment, Monica successfully worked as a model and had not yet taken place as an actress, which irritated the temperamental Frenchman - he, who had starred in more than one film at that time, knew a lot about the profession and did not tolerate amateurism. However, if there is only one step from love to hate, then why not assume the opposite option?

At the Cesar Awards, where Bellucci received an award for her role in The Apartment, the actors appeared together and never parted. For a long time, Vincent persuaded Monica Bellucci to marry him, but she refused, because "she was never obsessed with marriage." The actress nevertheless decided to marry three years after they met, when Vincent got into a car accident. Monica answered the endless questions of the press with black humor: “At some point, I decided that being a widow was more logical than a former lover. In addition, black suits any woman more than anyone else.

They got married in September 1999. However, their marriage was far from the classical understanding of this word, having tied themselves with family ties, they still remained absolutely free people. Surprisingly, they lived all 14 years of marriage in three houses: he is in Paris, and she is in Rome and London. In their own words, they did not have time to quarrel, but they managed to get bored. “I never interfere in his affairs. We are very independent. We live in different worlds. Like all Italians, I am jealous, but somehow I can manage without the fidelity of the body. For me, love is the loyalty of the heart. Vincent is always there when I need him, I don’t ask for anything else, ”the actress shared in one of her interviews. “Yes, we are different, but it’s wonderful! I couldn't fall in love with myself. She's Italian, I'm French, everything happens between us. I love Monica and I am happy that I live with a man who, like me, values ​​freedom the most, ”Kassel once said.

“Agree, it is unnatural to have one partner in life. It's just that sometimes when we're cheating, it's better to keep quiet about it, isn't it?" Monica Bellucci

The next round of their relationship was the difficult shooting in the scandalous film by Gaspar Noe (Gaspar Noé) "Irreversibility", where the couple played lovers. In the film, Monica's heroine is brutally raped, this scene lasts "pure" 9 minutes without editing - this film made a lot of noise in its time. Monica forbade her husband to be present on the site. On viewing the footage, Kassel lost his temper and left the studio. In short, as part of the filming, a very real and completely Italian scene of jealousy unfolded. Such a turn could not pass unnoticed by the press. Monica and Vincent were immediately "divorced", but the couple quickly denied the rumors of a breakup.

Soon Monica Bellucci gave birth to her first child - the daughter was named Virgo. The appearance of the child rallied the couple, and they happily spent the first months of the baby's life under the same roof. Then, in an interview, the actor admitted: “A few years ago, when asked what I would do five minutes before the end of the world, I would answer: I jumped with a parachute. Right now, I'd rather make love to my wife." Their second daughter, Leonie, was born in 2010, and Vincent insisted that the family should live together under the same roof, and that the children know where their home is. Probably, this is what contributed to the subsequent separation. As you know, if a woman wants to remain free, any encroachment on her right leads to disaster.

Every week HELLO.RU talks about what celebrity children wear. Last time we got acquainted with the style of Pax Tien, the son of actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and today the daughters of actors Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel, Deva and Leoni, become the heroines of our column.

On August 3, 1999, in Monte Carlo, Monica Bellucci married Vincent Cassel, and 5 years later - on September 12, 2004 - in one of the clinics in Rome, she gave birth to his daughter, who was named the Virgin. Having become a mother for the first time at the age of 38, the actress admitted that her daughter was born at the most ideal moment for this:

She showed up exactly when needed. I have played so many roles and visited so many places that I am ready to give her everything she needs!

In 2009, when Bellucci was 45 years old, she found out about her second pregnancy and, like most women of her age, experienced the fear of having a baby:

Women over 40 who want children, among other things, are afraid that they will not be able to bear a child. And having given birth, they are worried that the husband would not run away, frightened of problems.

But Vincent Cassel did not run away from Monica at that time, but was incredibly happy about the birth of his second daughter. The girl was born on May 20, 2010 in Rome, her birth weight was 3.22 kilograms, her height was 53 centimeters.

I gave birth to my daughter for two and a half hours. She's so dark and pretty. Childbirth went naturally, like peasant women,

Bellucci said in an interview with Vanity Fair that the second pregnancy was easier for her than the first.

I was advised to have a second child immediately after the first, but I was not ready. And when, finally, I felt confident to take this step, I could only hope that it was not too late and that the child would appear as soon as possible. But kids are not a movie, you can't sit down at a table with a producer and a director and plan everything right... I don't feel brave, I'm just very lucky. But do not think that you need to take an example from me. Many people my age turn to surrogate mothers or IVF clinics. And if I had not managed to get pregnant, I would also be among these women.

Bellucci and Kassel named their youngest daughter Leonie, a name that was coined when Monica was still pregnant. But the birth of the baby did not help save the couple's marriage, and in August 2013, after 19 years of relationship and 14 years of marriage, the actors divorced "by mutual agreement."

No one is to blame for the fact that the marriage broke up. My husband and I moved forward - each in his own direction, each more and more interested in something of his own. Gradually it became clear that our paths diverged, that we are looking in different directions. I always say that it takes two to tango. The two of us gave birth to our love, the two of us breathed life into it for many years, the two of us decided to end it,

Bellucci said in an interview with Tatler magazine, noting that "at the time of the break, you need to understand that children are more important than us and our desires." And the couple really managed to create a comfortable atmosphere for their daughters, so they often try to communicate with their father, although they live with their mother in Lisbon.

Recently, Virgo and Leoni, who rarely get into the lenses of the paparazzi, amazed the public, so to speak, with their growing up. They were photographed together with Monica in Milan, and 12-year-old Virgo no longer looked like a girl, but a teenager, and 7-year-old Leoni looked like a real schoolgirl. Such secrecy of the star daughters, although it does not allow compiling an extensive lookbook of their images, but allows us to say a few words about their style, which has changed dramatically over the years. If Bellucci herself considers noble black her favorite color, she tries to dress her daughters more than positively. For example, in childhood, in warm weather, Virgo and Leoni wore sundresses, preferably free-cut and with lace. The color of these dresses and sundresses ranged from the traditional white and cream to hot pink and purple.

Often, the girls' outfits were decorated with a floral pattern - Bellucci herself adores this print in everyday life. And if Leoni, due to her age, continues to wear things in a children's style, then the grown-up Virgo switched to the style of a teenager. There are a lot of dresses in her wardrobe, but no longer naive, but more conservative and even seductive - with slits and artful decor. Like all girls her age, she wears jeans, pairing them with tops, long T-shirts, loose-fitting sweaters, and black coats - just like her mother wears. After the publication of new pictures of Virgo, Internet users noted that she is becoming more and more like Monica, not only in appearance, but also in style. We don’t know about you, but we are only happy about this fact!
