Update: The news has been confirmed. The rep statement reads,
Eva and Gregorio are celebrating the birthof their first child. They now have a lovely son who they have namedGeorge Marsiaj Herzig. The whole family are well, Eva is delighted, and they will all be leaving on a holiday together shortly.
Update June 5th: Czech news outlets report that the baby’s name is George.
Originally posted June 2nd: Model Eva Herzigova, 34, and her boyfriend Gregorio Marsiaj became first time parents last evening when they welcomed a son in Torin, Italy Paris. Eva’s labor and delivery were without complication, and the baby arrived just before 10 pm. He weighed in at over 9 lbs and is 20.5 inches long.
Eva will be releasing his name this evening — as she said a few weeks ago,
We have a little list ofnames we like. I think you have to wait until that momentand see what names suits. I don’t think you can say before hand.

Stacey, if you read right, that could make sense since Jiri is the name of Eva’s father. they may have picked a more international version of the name, as a tribute to him.

Is there a reason why they’re only using part of her surname- Herzig/Herzigova? Is there a big difference or is one czech for the other?

Lilybett- In the Czech Republic, the suffix -ova is usually added to women’s surnames (in a few cases, only the letter A is added to the end of the surname). Basically, the male version of Eva’s surname is Herzig, which is why George’s surname is Herzig. Since Eva is a female, the suffix -ova is added to her name, so her surname is Hezigova. I am not Czech myself, but I have a friend who is, and she explained Czech surnames to me.
