To date, Monica Bellucci is a happy mother of two charming girls. They appeared in a happy marriage with the famous actor Vincent Cassel. Detailed information about the star family is presented in the article.

Birth of the first child

The wedding of Vincent and Monica took place on August 3, 1999. After five years of living together in a prestigious Roman clinic, their first baby was born. The date of birth of the daughter of the Virgin is September 12, 2004. The popular actress experienced at the age of 38. She is sure that the child appeared in the family at the right time. By this time, Monica had already visited many countries, achieved universal recognition and financial well-being.

Second pregnancy

The next daughter of Monica Belucci was born on May 20, 2010. The second time the happiness of motherhood visited the actress at the age of 45. When she found out about her situation, she experienced a real fear of future changes in the body. Monica said that women after forty are afraid of a failed pregnancy and health problems. And after the birth of the baby, new psychological problems arise. First of all, mature ladies are concerned about how to keep their husband so that he does not run away to another person. And for this it is necessary to remain an attractive and interesting woman.

In an interview, the newly-made mother twice said that the second birth was faster and easier than the first. Everyone advised not to delay the replenishment, but Monica did this only when she was completely ready for an important event. Besides, such events are not a movie. Pregnancy cannot be produced and controlled throughout the process. There is some luck in this matter. The fact that Monica and Vincent did not have to seek help from a surrogate mother or IVF is a real blessing.

Husband's reaction

She was surrounded by Vincent's love. He literally glowed with happiness. The second daughter was named Leoni. The name for the baby was thought up long before her birth.

Divorce

The daughters of Monica Belucci and Vincent Cassel could not save the union of their parents. 19 years of a serious relationship and 14 years of a happy marriage ended in divorce by agreement of the parties. In 2013, the era of the joint life of one of the most beautiful couples on the planet ended.

According to Monica, no one is to blame for what happened. Gradually, the interests of each began to differ more and more, and soon their paths radically diverged. It takes two partners to dance the tango. And when they look in different directions, nothing will work. As good parents, Monica and Vincent created the most comfortable conditions for children. Therefore, the divorce of the girl's parents was painlessly transferred. They continue to often communicate with dad, spend a lot of time with him. Monica Bellucci with her daughters live in Lisbon.

Matured Deva and Leoni

Virgo and Leoni very rarely catch the eye of the paparazzi. But in the latest photographs, you can already see a teenager and a schoolgirl, and not little girls. Society wants to know more about the life of star children, but this is not possible due to great secrecy from prying eyes. The only thing that can be accurately traced is the style of clothing, which gradually changes over the years.

Style

The actress prefers the classic black color. But for her daughters, she chooses the most positive and life-affirming shades. More often, Monica Bellucci and her daughters buy loose-fitting outfits with lace trim. There are no restrictions on the color scheme. Clothing can be of any tone: from boiling white to bright purple.

This is the real weakness of the girls and Monica herself. Virgo has already moved from childish to teenage style, trying to imitate her famous mother in everything. She already has a lot of dresses and unusual combinations in her wardrobe. Perhaps soon Virgo will become a complete prototype of Monica and will completely copy her style of dressing. In the latest photographs of the girl, there is a clear trend towards this.

Public opinion

Not without criticism. Monica Bellucci and her daughters rarely appear anywhere, but one photographer once captured them. The pictures that got into the network caused bewilderment and critical reviews regarding the appearance of the Virgin. They note that the daughter of Monica Belucci Virgo looks older than her age and parents would do well to pay more attention to the issue of clothing.

Deva and Leoni are the daughters of one of the most beautiful couples - actors Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci.

Bellucci and Cassel lived together for 19 years, but years later they decided to leave, maintaining friendly relations.

Now Deva and Leoni live with Monica, who is ready to spend all her time with children, but often sees her father.

“When the girls were little, it was not humiliating for me to change diapers,” Vincent recalls. “And now they have grown up and accompany us everywhere.”

According to sources, girls study at once in several schools in different countries, including in the capital of Portugal, Lisbon. They speak four languages: Italian, English, Portuguese and French and often travel with their parents.

“The eldest daughter Virgo for some time even thought that I was not working,” recalls Monica. “I spent so much time with the kids. She really liked that we were constantly traveling, staying in hotels and learning new things.”

Fans of Bellucci and Kassel are arguing over who the eldest daughter Virgo looks more like (b. 12 September 2004)- Monica or Vincent.

Everyone agrees on one thing - the girl looks much older than her years. Already at the age of 13, Virgo overtook Monica in height, whose height is 171 cm. It is possible that she will follow in her mother's footsteps and also become a model.

Virgo is very reminiscent of Monica in her youth:

Virgo is not shy about wearing revealing outfits for her age. Recently, the paparazzi filmed the actress leaving the hotel with her daughters, Virgo was wearing a long dress with a high slit, and bright makeup on her face. Another time, the Virgin was dressed in a black light blouse with a bare stomach and a spicy neckline.

By the way, after these photos, the paparazzi had a lot of dissatisfied comments. A long dress with such a deep neckline looks very defiant on a 12-year-old girl - even loyal fans of the actors came to this conclusion.

Monica tries to protect her daughters from intrusive paparazzi - she tells few details about their life and does not publish photos. Nevertheless, the growing Virgo arouses more and more curiosity of journalists, and it seems that this is flattering for the girl herself. Not so long ago, she posted her selfie from the gym on the Internet.

Monica has been collaborating with the Dolce & Gabbana brand for a long time. In April 2019, the press got pictures from the backstage of filming an advertisement for a new fragrance with the participation of Monica's daughter, Virgo Kassel.

Video from shooting Virgo:

In June, the first official exit of the Virgin to a light event took place. The young model attended the Dolce & Gabbana men's show in Milan:

It's not clear how Monica feels about her daughter growing up so early, but in her interviews she makes it clear that above all, she values ​​​​independence.

“It is important to understand,” says Monica, “that neither our men nor our children belong to us.”

In the summer of 2019, paparazzi pictures got into the press, according to which it can be judged that the 14-year-old Virgo already has a boyfriend:

Little is known about the youngest daughter (born May 21, 2010), but in our opinion she also looks like Monica:

Despite the divorce of their parents and the new marriage of Vincent Cassel with Tina Kunaki, the girls spend a lot of time with their father. Not so long ago, Vincennes shared a funny picture together:
