Monica Bellucci’s role in life: that of mother. On the occasion of Mother’s Day, the Italian actress and model published a tender childhood photo of her daughters Deva and Léonie on Instagram. Entwined in each other’s arms, they share a hug which melted the subscribers of Vincent Cassel’s ex-wife.
Born in 2004 and 2010, Deva and Léonie Cassel lived for a long time in the shadow of their parents who shone in the spotlight. Raised in a multicultural family, they speak several languages ??fluently. “My daughters grew up in Brazil, Italy, France, but I explain to them that we cannot say we are ‘from everywhere’. French culture is their base,” their mother said in Madame Figaro in 2023.” You need to have a solid identity in order to open up to others. You need a backbone.”
A major asset that allows the daughters of the Italian star, who have been living in Paris for about ten years, to flourish in their projects. “They have an artistic streak. Deva loves cinema. Léonie is still too young to know what she wants to do. It means a lot to me that they are inspired by the atmosphere that was theirs. The most important thing is obviously that they are happy in the path they choose,” Tim Burton’s partner assures the women’s magazine.
From her role as a mother, Monica Bellucci also explains that she warned her 19 and 14 year old offspring against sexist violence against them. “They know that abuse exists, everywhere, as soon as there is power, in this profession, as elsewhere,” she confides to our colleagues.
However, the woman who will celebrate her 60th birthday next September has a close relationship with her two daughters, just like her eldest, Deva. “Her childhood wasn’t smooth, but she’s holding her own and seeing her happy makes me happy – so I don’t hold back from posting photos of her on Insta!”, she admits to Marie Claire.
