Penelope Cruz’s younger sister Monica is pregnant with her first child via artificial insemination.
The Agent Provocateur model, 35, announced the news in a post titled “My Life’s Dream” earlier this month on her blog for Spanish newspaper El Pais, reported Us magazine.
“I’m going to be a mother! I have managed to fulfill the dream of a lifetime. Because of that, I want to share with all of you this special journey and be able to tell you about all of my experiences during this fascinating time,” Monica wrote. Cruz then went on to say that although she would have preferred to wait for the man of her dreams before having a baby, she couldn’t ignore her ticking biological clock. “A 40-year-old woman is very young and she feels very young, but the maternity thing goes another way.”
