"Furious 7" actor Vin Diesel is now finally a daddy of three, after wife Paloma Jimenez gave birth to a healthy baby girl whom they named "Pauline." Apparently, Diesel chose the name to commemorate his lost brother and co-star Paul Walker.
He did share the details of his newborn while promoting his latest film "Fast & Furious 7," at a morning show, together with TV anchor Natalie Morales.
"He was in the room with us and there's no other person that I was thinking about as I was cutting this umbilical cord. I just knew he was there", he said, referring to best bud Paul Walker, who died in a single car crash together with driver Roger Rodas.
Diesel further explained, "It felt like, you know a way, to keep his memory a part of my family and part of my world", Today's website wrote.
In Diesel's Facebook page, people were touched by the actor's heartwarming post with daughter Pauline, which he associated with Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" soundtrack. "I hear babies crying, I watch them grow; They'll learn much more, than I'll never know; And I think to myself, what a wonderful world..." he said in the caption.
Aside from Pauline, Vin Diesel and Paloma Jimenez also have two other kids, daughter Hania Riley Sinclair and son Vincent Sinclair.
Latin Fox noted that the couple's pregnancy went into public just last month while Diesel was busy promoting the movie, "Fast & Furious 7," which is why the actor incurred a couple of "no shows" during some promotional appearances.
Meanwhile, Diesel, together with other lead actors of the movie such as Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, Jordanna Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Lucas Black, Kurt Russell and Jason Statham are now excited for the movie release that is scheduled on April 3rd of this year.
Also, Diesel attended an early screening of "Furious 7" wherein he acknowledged Paul Walker's contributions to the movie and to his life saying, "This was a very personal and important film to us. Every time I saw the movie at the premieres, Paul Walker and I would go off to the side. He would always tell me, 'Vin, the best one is still to come. I hope tonight, you let Pablo know this is the best one for you guys," Latin Post quoted.
