35-year-old Italian beauty Monica Belucci gave birth to a daughter on Sunday at a hospital in Rome. It is the first child for Monica and her 37-year-old husband, French actor Vincent Cassel, who met on the set of the French film The Apartment 8 years ago and got married in 1999. The couple called the baby girl Deva, which stands for “divine” in Sanskrit.

A former model, Mrs. Cassel started a successful acting carrier in native Italy, not less successfully proceeding with it in France and Hollywood.

She made her loudest global fame bursting after starring in the last two "Matrix" films and as Mary Magdalene in Mel Gibson 's "The Passion of the Christ". Earlier this summer Monica proudly and confidently posed pregnant and nude for the cover of Vanity Fair. She is currently shooting a US action movie titled "The Lord of War".
