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 the 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 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.
My youngest daughter Bellucci and Kassel named Leonie, this name 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 magazine Tatler, 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 for the daughters comfortable atmosphere, so they often try to communicate with their father, although they live with their mother in Lisbon.

If Bellucci herself considers noble black her favorite color, she tries to dress her daughters more than positively. For example, in childhood warm weather Deva 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, girls' outfits were decorated with a floral pattern - this print is in Everyday life loves Belucci herself. 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 not naive anymore, 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.

13-year-old Deva and 7-year-old Leonie are the daughters of one of beautiful couples- actors Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci.
Bellucci and Kassel 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 the children, but often sees her father.

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. So much time the actress spent next to the children. “She really liked that we were constantly traveling, staying in hotels and learning new things.”

Appearance of girls
Fans of Bellucci and Cassel argue who the eldest daughter Virgo looks like more - Monica or Vincent, but they agree on one thing - the girl looks much older than her years. Already today, the eldest daughter, despite the fact that she just turned 13, 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 on her face - bright makeup. 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. Long dress with such a deep neckline on a 12-year-old girl, it looks very defiant - 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.
It's unclear 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.”
Little is known about the youngest daughter, but in our opinion she also looks like Monica:
