Monica Bellucci is a popular Italian actress and fashion model. She is considered the standard of female beauty and a sex symbol not only in Italy, but all over the world. For over 25 years Monica has been the face of the Italian brand Dolce & Gabbana. The personal life of the Italian beauty is not too eventful, as many think. Monica Bellucci has been married twice and has two children.
Personal life of Monica Bellucci
Monica Bellucci was born in the small Italian town of Citta di Castello. She was the only child in a poor family. After graduation, the girl strove for an independent life and independence. Monica dreamed of becoming a lawyer. To pay for her studies, the future star began to work as a model. Nature has generously endowed Monica with a spectacular and attractive appearance. From a young age, the girl often caught admiring male glances on herself. Soon she left her studies and moved to Milan for the sake of a career as a fashion model.
The first time Monica got married very early - at twenty. Her chosen one was the photographer Claudio Carlos Basso. Their union lasted from 1990 to 1994. Having achieved success in the profession of a photo model, Monica began acting in films. She always devoted a lot of time to her career, so the marriage with Claudio Carlos Basso did not last long.
Then the actress was engaged for several years to the Italian actor Nicola Farron. They starred together in the film "Life with Children". They were called the most beautiful couple in Italy. After six years of relationship, they broke up.
With her second husband, French actor Vincent Cassel, Monica met on the set of the melodrama "Apartment" directed by Gilles Mimouny. In the film, Vincent and Monica played a couple in love. According to Monica's recollections, Vincent Cassel aroused strong dislike in her at first sight. He was very arrogant, objected to the producers at the casting, protesting against the foreign actress. Cassel considered Monica another mediocre model who imagined herself to be an artist. As for the actors' antipathy to each other, it began to disappear as their characters plunged into the maelstrom of love relationships. Thus began their 19-year romance.
Much to the surprise of the "ladies' man" Kassel, Monica showed no desire to start a serious relationship with him, and she did not want to hear anything about marriage at all. Vincent was completely bewildered by this woman and fell in love more and more. They lived in different cities: Kassel - in Paris, Bellucci - sometimes in Rome, then in London. The actress believed that living together and everyday routine kills passion. For three whole years, the actor persistently persuaded the obstinate Italian to marry him. Perhaps Monica would never have given her consent to the marriage if Kassel had not been in a car accident.
The couple formalized their relationship in 1999. Their marriage lasted 14 years. Due to the actors' lifestyle and busy schedules, their paths went their separate ways. According to Monica, she and Vincent will forever remain dear people. Thanks to her daughters, the actress wakes up happy every morning.

Monica gave birth to her first child, daughter Virgo, on September 12, 2004, shortly before her fortieth birthday. The birth of a child greatly influenced the character of the actress and her relationship with her husband. She began to devote more time to her family. Virgo even thought for a while that her mother was not working, they traveled a lot and were together.
In May 2010, the couple had a second daughter, Leonie. According to the actress, late children are her conscious choice. Being in an "interesting position", Monica was not at all shy about appearing on the covers of magazines with a rounded tummy.
Deva and Leoni study in several schools at the same time. They speak four languages: Italian, English, French and Portuguese, they love to travel and spend time with their parents. Vincent and Monica try to protect children from annoying journalists, not spreading about their lives.
The eldest daughter, Virgo, is very similar to Monica in her youth. She dreams of following in her mother's footsteps. This spring, Virgo starred in her first creative project - an advertisement for the Dolce & Gabbana brand, with which Monica has been collaborating for over 25 years. The shooting of the advertising campaign took place in the picturesque Italian town of Ravello.
