Caterina Murino, an Italian actress known for her role in 2006’s Casino Royale, is pregnant.
Murino, 47, shared the news with French magazine Gala, revealing that she is expecting her first child, a baby boy, with French lawyer Édouard Rigaud, her partner of eight years. She is due at the end of the summer — shortly before she turns 48.
The former Bond girl said she had an “excruciating” journey with in-vitro fertilization (IVF), during which she suffered two miscarriages.
“At my age, I had to ask medicine to help nature,” the actress told the outlet. “You don’t always decide when the right time to become a mother comes.”

Murino said she is looking forward to becoming a mother and has had a smooth, healthy pregnancy so far: “I haven’t had any discomfort, no diabetes, no insomnia.”
She added that she’s anxious about her delivery but confident in “the fantastic work” of her French midwives.
Earlier this month, she also opened up about her pregnancy to Italian outlet Costa Smeralda.
“I feel I am living a magical moment,” she said. “Soon I will become a mother, and I believe we all have a huge responsibility today: raise conscious human beings.”

In May, Murino stepped out on the red carpet of Lilo & Stitch in Paris. She was glowing in a dark blue dress and white shoes.
Since her role in Casino Royale, she’s had success in international films such as The Garden of Eden (2008) and The Opera! (2024).
“It was a tremendous opportunity, but perhaps I only understood its significance later,” she told Costa Smeralda of appearing in the Bond film. “I was the first Bond girl in the Daniel Craig era, in a film which marked a change of mood in the saga. Today, I look back at it with gratitude and realisation: not so much for the glamour surrounding it, but for the chance it gave me to build an international career.”
