Italian actress Monica Belluci has become a mother again after giving birth to a baby girl named Leonie.
The 45-year-old Matrix star and her French actor husband Vincent Cassel, already have a five-year-old daughter Deva, reported Daily Star online.
Leonie was born in Rome on Friday, Belluci announced on the Italian edition of Vanity Fair website. "She has arrived, a pretty little brunette. It was a natural birth and the labour lasted two and a half hours," said Belucci.
Leonie weighed 3.2 kilogrammes, said the new mother who has been married to Cassel, 43, since 1999. In a recent issue of Vanity Fair Italy, which included a photograph of the glamorous actress during her pregnancy, Bellucci commented on giving birth in her forties.
She said it took "courage to have children late because of the risks for yourself and for the child".
But she added that she considered herself "very lucky" to have had a healthy first child "by natural birth like a peasant woman from Umbria", the region of Italy where the actress was born.
Bellucci, a former model, has appeared in Hollywood films such as The Matrix, The Brothers Grimm and Don't Look Back.
