The actress bares her baby bump on the latest cover of Italy’s Vanity Fair and talks about motherhood.

Monica, 45, who is due with her second daughter this spring, talks to Vanity Fair about having a child so late in her life and how her pregnancy is going so far.

The Matrix actress is already mom to 5-year-old Deva and she explains why she waited so long after her daughter to have another child. She says, “They told me to have a second child just right after Deva, but I didn’t feel ready. And when I felt ready, I was hoping to have it quickly. But children are not movies that you can organize around a table with a director or a producer.”

Monica reveals that despite her age, she conceived both of her children naturally. “I didn’t need [fertility treatments and surrogate mothers]. Who knows, maybe my grandma having a child at 47 has something to do with it. It’s about luck. I know women ready to cross the desert on their knees to have a child. If I had problems [with conceiving], I’d be one of them”

When it comes to her husband Vincent Cassel she says that he is “helping.” She adds, “The more time passes by, the more I love the man he has become. When I met him he was a 28-year-old boy, now he’s a man with a great sense of responsibility who makes me feel good. Deva needs him as she needs me. I always think that if something happens to me, Vincent is gonna be with our daughters. A woman can say ‘I’ll have kids on my own,’ and lots of women do it, but having a partner beside enriches both us and the children.”
