From Red Carpets to Parenthood: Vincent Cassel, 58, Starts Over with 28-Year-Old Model

Vincent Cassel, the magnetic French actor known for his intense roles and passionate personal life, has always intrigued the public — not just on screen, but in love. After two high-profile marriages, he’s now found a new rhythm with Brazilian model. Their relationship, full of quiet tenderness and red carpet moments, has recently taken a beautiful new turn.

He and Monica Bellucci broke up but managed to maintain a good relationship.

The actor spent 18 years with his first wife, Monica Bellucci, and they were married for 14 of those years. Both spouses often said that they were independent people and literally existed in different worlds. Each had their own circle of friends and interests, and neither of them sought to impose their opinions on the other. In many ways, Vincent saw this as the secret of their marital happiness. Cassel and Bellucci had two daughters — Deva and Léonie.

In 2013, the couple announced their divorce. According to the actors, it was a mutual and thought-out decision. Perhaps the reason for the breakup was Cassel’s desire to move to Brazil. The actor literally fell in love with this country and wanted to move his family there. It seemed to him that in Rio de Janeiro, everyday life is still full of poetry, which is so lacking in modern Europe.

The breakup didn’t stop the ex-spouses from staying friends. According to Bellucci, when two people have children together, they absolutely must maintain a relationship, despite any differences. Especially since Cassel is a wonderful father, but his busy work schedule doesn’t allow the girls to live with him all the time.

So, Vincent and Monica decided that the girls would stay with their mom, visiting their dad whenever possible. Bellucci is happy to have become a mother after the age of 40. This allowed her to concentrate on raising her children, choosing only one work project per year. This also meant that she was able to walk Deva and Léonie to school herself and prepare their lunches.

He didn’t think he would ever get married again.

After his marriage to Bellucci ended, Cassel was sure that from then on, he would lead a single life. He’d already been married once and had two adorable daughters, so the typical life plan was fulfilled. But after a while, the actor sensed that something was missing. A few years after his divorce, while at a resort, he met the young model Tina Kunakey.

At first, she didn’t even recognize the famous actor. Their acquaintance was not at all different from a million others — they simply happened to be in the same place at the same time, and immediately felt a mutual attraction. The crush soon developed into a romance, though Cassel was genuinely at a loss. He hadn’t expected to find new love, and he certainly didn’t think she would be so much younger than him.

Speaking about their relationship, the actor joked about a midlife crisis. Despite occasional rumors of a possible breakup, the couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in France in 2018. At the time, Cassel was 51 and Tina was 21. The actor admitted that he dreams of a new addition to the family; after all, at his age, a man only decides to get married again if he is truly in love and wants to have children. In 2019, the couple had a baby girl who they named Amazonie.

But they parted ways in 2023. The breakup was implied by the deletion of their Instagram photos and eventual confirmation that they had separated earlier that year.

Currently he is now in a new relationships.

His current partner, since 2023, is Brazilian model Narah Baptista. She is about 30 years younger than Cassel.

They were first spotted together in September‑October 2023 in Rio de Janeiro at a samba club, marking their initial appearance as a couple. And on January 18, 2024, at the Ami show during Paris Fashion Week, confirming their new romance publicly

They stepped onto the red carpet hand-in-hand at Cannes Film Festival in May 2024 — capturing smiles and affectionate glances.

In September 2024, Narah shared photos of her baby bump on Instagram, hinting at their shared excitement for the upcoming birth. Their son, Caetano, was born on January 7, 2025—Vincent’s first son and Narah’s first child. Days after the birth, Narah bravely spoke about her postpartum struggles —but affirmed her resilience and gratitude as she recovers.

Despite the 30-year age difference, their bond appears rooted in shared passions — particularly for Brazil — and a mutual desire to keep parts of their life private.

They maintain a media-savvy yet guarded presence: public at major events, selective with intimate details, and tuned into each other’s rhythms after becoming parents .

As Vincent Cassel and Narah Baptista embrace this new chapter of parenthood and quiet devotion, they join a growing list of stars redefining love and fresh beginnings. Dua Lipa recently revealed her engagement, proving that bold hearts still dream big. And Lady Gaga, once guarded in love, has found her forever with a heart outside Hollywood.
