Hilfiger and Vega Both Expecting New Additions to Their Families
According to recent reports, two more celebs have joyous news to share. It will be interesting to see at the end of the year how many little celebrities were born in 2009. The two most recent additions to the 2009 list of expectant parents are designer Tommy Hilfiger and Paz Vega. Hilfiger is looking forward to the birth of his fifth child, and actress Paz Vega is now pregnant with her second child.
The news comes for Hilfiger two months after he married Dee Ocleppo. Hilfiger and Ocleppo got married in December of 2008. Hilfiger’s first four children were produced by his first marriage to Susie Hilfiger. Ocleppo was previously married to tennis player, Gianni Ocleppo, a union which produced two children.
Hilfiger is a fashion powerhouse, with product lines including Hilfiger Denim, Red Label, Tommy Hilfiger, and fragrances which include True Star and Tommy Girl. He has attracted criticism for working conditions in his factories. In 2000, his was among a group of companies that settled a class action lawsuit filed by workers in Saipan.
As the second of nine children, Hilfiger no doubt sees the positives of a large family. Hopefully the pregnancy will go well and we can look forward to some good news later in the year.
Spanish born actress Paz Vega has already attracted a number of fans in the English speaking world. In fact, although the credits for the movie Spanglish listed her as ‘Introducing Paz Vega’, it was actually her 13th film.
Vega has been married to Venezuelan Orson Salazar since 2002. Their first child, Orson, was born in 2007. Vega was quoted as saying, “I’m doing really well. The upsets from the first months have passed and now, to enjoy! A pregnancy is a marvelous moment that I would love to repeat and repeat.”
Before going into acting, Vega majored in journalism in college. Her birth name is actually Paz Campos Trigo, but she adopted the ‘Vega’ from her grandmother. So far reports have not indicated when her second child is due, but she did suggest that she would like to get back to work as quickly as possible after the delivery. Online stories quote her as saying, “I am going to try to recuperate as quickly as possible and start work.” Of course, once she looks into those adoring eyes she might not be in a hurry to start working for a while.
Best of luck to Paz Vega and her husband, not only with her pregnancy, but also with her career.
