It’s a girl! Model and actress Laetitia Casta and her partner Stefano Accorsi welcomed their second child together on Saturday, August 29th, according to Purepeople. Much like the pregnancy, details surrounding the birth of daughter Athena have been kept quiet; Reps for the couple have yet to release a statement confirming the news.

Athena is joined by big brother Orlando, 3 this month, and Sahteene, 7 ½, Laetitia’s daughter with ex Stéphane Sednaoui.

While Laetitia stayed mum throughout the months she was expecting, there was no need for an announcement as her burgeoning belly did all the talking! In May, during the 62nd Annual Cannes Film Festival, Laetitia strutted her stuff on the red carpet and proudly displayed her growing bump in a fitted black dress.

   Wow, Athena, what an amazing name… (Ancient Greek Goddess of Wisdom)…. Maybe because she’s French it’ll be pronounced like a-te (with accent) -na, rather than English a-thee-na?! Don’t know, but, wow, gorgeous all the same..

   to London Girl : in French we do not pronounce “ee” but “é” with an accent (in English I would say it’s the same “e” as the first “e” in the word “terrible”). Love this name… so elegant…

    Lola- Yes, Athena is pronounced the way I thought it was in French…. Thank you for validating my knowledge! Because I’m in England, I can’t do the e with acute (French) accent on my English keyboard!
