For about 17 years, the name of the French actor Vincent Cassel remained inextricably linked with the name of his colleague and beloved wife Monica Bellucci. However, after the divorce in 2013, each of them builds their personal lives separately. So far, Kassel has done better on this issue. In 2018, he tied the knot for the second time and is expecting the birth of a child with a new wife.
Marriage to Monica Bellucci
The acting couple Bellucci and Cassel were considered one of the strongest love unions in the world of cinema. The future spouses met in 1995 on the set of the melodrama "Apartment". At first, they were skeptical of each other. Vincent perceived the aspiring actress as another model who seeks to enter the world of cinema with the help of an outstanding bust. And Monica, when she first met, saw an arrogant and arrogant man in front of her. However, just a few days of shooting and a couple of kisses in front of the camera made them feel a mutual attraction.
In 1994, Bellucci divorced her first husband, Italian photographer Claudio Bass, and since then has been skeptical about the idea of family life. According to her, she did not immediately consider her soul mate in Kassel. He seemed frivolous and unreliable to Monica, so the actress tried to keep a distance between them for a while. Upon completion of filming, she returned to Rome, and her new lover remained in Paris. Then Kassel, wanting to spend as much time with the charming Italian woman as possible, invited her to appear in French cinema. They appeared together in the films "Doberman", "How you want me", "Pleasure".
For almost three years, Vincent tried to persuade Monica to become his wife, but she refused, considering marriage a pointless undertaking. That all changed when the French actor had a car accident. True, the official registration, which took place in 1999, did not greatly affect the nature of their relationship. After the wedding, Monica left Paris again to live in Rome. Her international career began with the Hollywood project Under Suspicion in 2000. Since then, Bellucci has often crossed the Atlantic, taking part in American and European paintings. Journalists wrote about her romances with George Clooney, Bruce Willis, Gerard Depardieu. The actress herself never refuted the speculations of the press, which caused even more jealousy on the part of her legal spouse. And Kassel was not distinguished by exemplary behavior. He was regularly suspected of having affairs with models and actresses.
Despite her husband's persuasions, Monica postponed motherhood for a long time. Their first child, daughter Virgo, was born in 2004 when the actress was 39 years old. Her younger sister Leonie was born in 2010. Shortly before the breakup, which the couple announced in August 2013, Bellucci talked about quiet family happiness with her husband and children. She admitted that their marriage consists of frequent separations, but they simply do not know another life. A few months later, fans of the couple were surprised to learn about the separation of celebrities. Commenting on the sad news, Monica said that she and Vincent are parting peacefully and "there will always be love between them."
New love
After his divorce from Monica, Vincent began to spend more time in his beloved country - Brazil, where he often visited during his marriage. In 2015, while on vacation in Ibiza, the actor met a young 18-year-old beauty Tina Kunaki. Later, the girl admitted that she began to communicate with an interesting man, unaware of his stellar status.
Tina was born and raised in the French resort town of Biarritz. Her father is Moroccan by birth, and her mother is from the island of Sicily. The girl's parents have been married for more than 25 years, and for Kunaki, their union is a model of an ideal relationship.
Soon after meeting Kassel, his young lover began a modeling career. It is possible that in the future she will try her hand at acting. By the way, Tina and Vincent officially announced their relationship on August 1, 2016, when the girl published her photo on her personal Instagram page in the company of a movie star. Noting the impressive age difference between lovers, journalists immediately began to talk about the midlife crisis that overtook Kassel.
Ignoring the headlines of the tabloids, in November 2016 he decided to go out for the first time in the company of a new girlfriend. Despite the regular breakup rumors, Tina and Vincent continued to appear together in public, posted cute joint pictures and confessed their feelings on social media pages. In August 2018, the couple appeared together on the cover of the Italian version of Vanity Fair magazine. Even then, the French actor admitted that he was thinking about a new marriage and dreamed of becoming a father again.
Second try
Vincent Cassel married Tina Kunakey on August 24, 2018. The wedding ceremony took place in the resort village of Bidart, located near the hometown of the bride of Biarritz. For the holiday, the groom dressed in a light linen suit, complemented by a lavender shirt. And his young wife was delightful in an ivory wedding dress. The bodice of the dress was decorated with a French tulle drapery, which smoothly passed into a fluffy flowing skirt. This magnificent example of wedding fashion was created by the designers of the fashion house Vera Wang.
After the wedding, the happy couple disappeared from the press for a while. The couple reminded of themselves again on January 1, 2019, when Kassel posted a Happy New Year greeting, accompanying it with a photo in the company of his wife. In the picture, Tina, dressed only in a yellow two-piece swimsuit, showed the public for the first time clear changes in her figure. And Vincent himself focused on his wife's pregnancy, putting his ear to her growing belly. Fans immediately began to congratulate future parents. The baby, which is due to be born in the first half of 2019, will be the first common child of the spouses and the third for Kassel. Given that he already has two daughters, the French actor most likely dreams of having a son.
