Just yesterday, we discussed the weekend photos of Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem in Madrid. I wrote, “Penelope really looks like she’s ready to rock and roll any second.” And that’s what happened! Penelope gave birth to her second child yesterday, only nobody noticed because we were all paying attention to Duchess Kate. We don’t know if Penelope gave birth to a son or daughter (it took us a while to find out that her first kid was a boy too), and we don’t know the name of course.
Penelope Cruz has given birth to her second child – on the same day as the Royal baby. The world went into meltdown on Monday over news that the Duchess of Cambridge had given birth to a baby boy – the third in line to the throne.
But she wasn’t the only woman in the public eye to welcome a new addition to the family, as Spanish actress Penelope also gave birth to a baby girl on the same day.
The Spanish actress already has a two-year-old son, Leonardo, with husband Javier Bardem.
And now a representative has confirmed to Hello! magazine she’s welcomed her second child. Although it is not yet known the name of the baby in question, we do know the baby was born on the same day Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge announced they’d welcomed a baby boy at St Mary’s Hospital in London, weighing in at 8Ibs, 6oz.
But while the Royals are expected to let the public know about their child, Cruz and Bardem are notoriously private and kept the details of their first child under wraps as long as possible.
She recently said of her children: ‘I want my son and my kids – if I have more – to grow up in a way that is as anonymous as possible. The fact that his father and I have chosen to do the work we do doesn’t give anybody the right to invade our privacy.’
Penelope was last seen just a couple of days ago when she looked ready to pop.
Congrats to Penelope! If she had given birth in London, her baby might have gotten one of those specially minted pence pieces that are being given to babies born on the same day as HRH Prince Crumpets. But I think she gave birth in Madrid – that’s where they were over the weekend, and that’s where their extended family lives. Anyway, congrats to Javi and Penelope on what I’m sure is yet another gorgeous Spanish baby.
UPDATE: People Magazine says it’s a girl! What if Prince Crumpets ends up with Lola Cruz-Bardem?!

Awww that is so nice. Congrats to them.
I bet Kim is crying now..
Lol at Kim crying, People exclusive in 1 ,2 ,3. Funny how Kim was massive and gave birth to a premie and Kate was quite slender and gave birth to a big boy at 8lb. Women really do carry differently.
If its that cryface from when she wanted to end things with Lurch Kardashian I HOPE someone is filming that (srly that attempt to cry on a frozen tundra face is My special happy Place)
@Lulu86 — admittedly, Kate is like 6 feet tall and Kim is barely over 5 feet. Aside from that Kate is naturally slender and Kim is naturally curvy. Between her height and her athleticism, it makes sense that Kate could carry a larger baby and not gain a ton of weight.
So I spent all day in internal conflict over posting a congrats to Penelope & Javier, thinking it was a shame the royal baby’s birth totally eclipsed their baby’s birth. Seeing they allegedly preferred that outcome I guess I should change my tune to celebratory versus lamented. I love those 2!!! Really happy for all respective parents. I expect nothing less that great things from their children.

I just read it’s a girl 🙂
Congrats. Good for them for keeping their family private.
the article excerpt says it was a baby girl
Congrats…that will be one good looking family!
Hilary Scott had a baby girl too!
She looked great pregnant, down to the last days, even! No double chin or fat face, like mine magically had, no matter what size my body was. Congrats to them!
Her feet aren’t swollen either, despite having stood for most of the day at the concert.
Congrats to my favorite actor and his wife, I’m sure Javier will spoil his daughter.
He’s almost as hot as Idris.
wow, I was way off. Congrats to them though..
Congrats! He is gorgeously hot and they are so cute together!
Congrats! They do manage to stay pretty private, good for them.
congratz to my fav couple ,baby will be as gorgeous as penelope
Like Farrah Fawcett dying the same day as Michael Jackson.
or Mother Theresa dying a few days after Diana.
Or Muddy Waters dying the same day as Balanchine.
No, actually it’s not like that at all ( to the Diana & Mother Theresa comment)
Congrats to them..Kim kardashian must be green of envy,lol
In other news….Javier Bardem is so yummy…too yummy….*goes to watch Vicky. Christina. Barcelona*
she carries beautifully.
with that hot piece of hubby of hers, i’m sure she’ll be preggers again in no time. 😉
So which baby did Dennis Farina reincarnated into?
Such a great couple and family. So nice to see them keep their life private. Good for them!
The second sentence of the story you guys posted says she had a girl.
Second paragraph…. sorry.
Lovely news! Beautiful family who walk the walk when it comes to keeping their business private and a MUCH more interesting pregnancy and baby than that other (WaityComa) one. Personally, I’m far more interested in seeing pics of this little bebé than the ones of Prince Waity that I know I’m going to be bombarded with any time soon… *snore*
You mean other women besides Kate can too give birth to a child? LOL. congrats to Penelope and Javier.
Congrats to the both of them. They seem like such a nice family.
I’m sure Penelope and Javi were delighted that Kate popped out the Royal Heir on the same day….nice work!.
Congrats, Caliente Couple! A girl-you can stop now if you like, but I doubt you will 🙂
about 370,000 babies born every day worldwide. that includes yesterday…hurray for all!!!!
My fifth nephew was born yesterday, as well. Royal Babies for all! 😉
Congrats! And will they also be receiving a Sterling Royal Penny, or is that only the UK?
Aww congrats to all of the new babies born!
