Monica Bellucci Debuts Léonie on Vanity Fair

Mamma mia!

Five months after giving birth, Monica Bellucci officially introduces daughter Léonie on the cover of Italian Vanity Fair.

Saying she’s happy at 46, the actress describes herself as “feeling like a ripe pear.”

In an interview accompanying the Vincent Peters photographs, Bellucci — already mom to 6-year-old daughter Deva with husband Vincent Cassel — says that she “takes Léonie everywhere.”

“At home with Vincent, sometimes we’ll put both daughters in bed with us. When I travel alone, I put both them in the bed with me.”

Despite the demands of new motherhood, Bellucci’s schedule hasn’t slowed. She recently wrapped a Dolce & Gabbana advertising spot, as well as a feature film, Manuale d’Amore 3. The latter required a little patience on behalf of her costar, Robert DeNiro.

“I’ve been nursing Léonie during shooting,” she explains. “Every three hours, I need a half-hour break to breastfeed.”

Monica is a beautiful woman- looks great for her age and obviously lucky enough to be fertile to have a baby at 46! (Although not always possible for others her age.) Leonie is gorgeous with her head of thick black hair.

Congrats ! Monica is timeless as always. The girls both have these simple cute names. I know this is a huge generalization to make,but many of the european women I know through school(I went to catholic school) and work etc had their babies at late ages :)

What about Ash Rai, she has been looking real preggo lately !

Lau on

She couldn’t possibly be any more gorgeous. Léonie is probably just as beautiful!

Stunning photo, and I love the girls’ names. I can’t wait to see Black Swan, Vincent’s new movie with Natalie Portman. It looks incredible.

Mom Said It

"I had to make a decision that I could sleep with every night. I did feel responsible for the young girls who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn't trying to glamorize teen pregnancy."
