Vincent Cassel’s girlfriend, Nara Baptista, spoke about the beginning of her relationship with the actor, as well as about their son, Caetano, who was born in early January of this year.
“On our first date, we went to dinner, and from the very beginning, everything was special. It quickly became clear in conversation how much we had in common, especially our love for Brazil. We’re both crazy about Brazilian culture. To this day, nothing makes us happier than a trip to Brazil. After we’d chatted over dinner, he mentioned his friends were throwing a party. We arrived, and there was Afrobeat, reggaeton, and Brazilian music playing, incredible dancers on stage, and a crowd of different people. That was the moment he completely captivated me. We danced all night as if we’d known each other for years. That’s when I felt like our energies were aligned,” 29-year-old Nara Baptista told Vogue Brasil .
Baptista also admitted that she and Cassel are very similar: “Like any couple, we have our differences, but in the way we live, enjoy life, and rejoice, we are very similar. It was an instant attraction. After that very date, we never parted. We’ve seen each other every day since then. And here we are, still together.”
She also spoke about her son, Caetano, noting that she wants to pass on her love for Brazil to him: “I want him to have a deep connection with Brazil. Even living in Paris, we already maintain that connection: we listen to Brazilian music every day, and I cook Brazilian food for him. But nothing can replace the experience of living here. I want him to understand, see, and experience everything his country has to offer. That’s why I want to visit Brazil more and more often, so that he can be Brazilian not only by blood but also by way of life.”
Vincent Cassel and Nara Baptista welcomed a son, Caetano, on January 7th. This is Nara’s first child, and Cassel’s first son. The actor has three daughters: Deva and Leonie with Monica Bellucci, and Amazonie with Tina Kunakey. After giving birth, Nara admitted to feeling overwhelmed and often depressed. Later, she began posting photos of herself looking happy.
Vincent Cassel and Nara Baptista began dating last September. Their romance began shortly after his divorce from Tina Kunakey, his five-year marriage. Shortly afterward, Nara announced she was pregnant. Following the actor’s split, many online compared her to Nara. Rumor has it that Baptista has undergone a dramatic image makeover as a result .
