Caterina Murino, known for her role as James Bond’s love interest in Casino Royale, has welcomed her first child at the age of 47. The Italian actress conceived her son, Demetrio Tancredi Rigaud Murino, through IVF after having two grueling miscarriages. In July, she told the French magazine Gala that she had been trying to conceive with her partner, French attorney Édouard Rigaud, for eight years. “At my age, medicine had to be asked to help nature,” she told the outlet, “you don’t always decide when the right time to become a mother.” Murino explained that she waited a long time to have a child because she wanted to find “the man of my life.” Her pregnancy went more smoothly than she had expected, telling the French magazine, “I had no inconvenience, neither diabetes nor insomnia.” Aside from her role in Casino Royale, Murino, who lives in Paris, has also starred in multiple Italian and French productions, including the TV series Escort Boys and Balthazar. Murino shared the exciting baby news on her Instagram, writing, “mom and dad are well and crazy with joy for future sleepless nights!”
