    Leelee Sobieski Welcomes Second Child

    Actress Leelee Sobieski welcomed a baby boy with fashion designer husband Adam Kimmel in July, and kept the birth a secret from the public for over four months.

    The baby was named Martin Kimmel, and is the couple’s second child. The two also have a daughter named Louisanna Ray, who was born in December, 2009.

    Commenting on motherhood, Sobieski, 31, said, “I just can’t believe I’m a mom. It’s weird! You look at your own mom differently. I realized, ‘You changed all my diapers? You did that?’ You really appreciate your mom.”

    Regarding her nuptials to Kimmel in 2009, Sobieski revealed that she had saved herself for marriage. “I guess 26 is kind of old to lose your virginity, but it was important to me that I remained a virgin until after I was married. It wasn’t for any religious reasons or anything like that, but simply because, to me, my virginity was the most precious gift that I could ever give to a man, and I wanted to be sure I was giving it to the right man,” the actress remarked.

    Sobieski is best known for the title role in the 1999 TV drama Joan of Arc, which garnered her Golden Globe and Emmy nominations.

    Here is the trailer for Joan of Arc:

    Also in 1999, Sobieski appeared in Stanley Kubrick’s controversial Eyes Wide Shut, alongside Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. The actress earned her second Golden Globe nomination for her work on the TV movie Uprising in 2001.

    Incidentally, Sobieski starred alongside Marlo Thomas in the 1994 TV movie Reunion.

    Thomas has been in the news of late, as she is set to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Barack Obama. The medal is the highest civilian honor.

  • Leelee Sobieski Has A Second Child, Son Named Martin

    Back in July, Leelee Sobieski gave birth to her second child with fashion designer Adam Kimmel. Sobieski’s representatives confirmed the pregnancy when she appeared in a fashion show back in May sporting a very visible baby bump. Aside from that public appearance, she pretty much kept her pregnancy a secret. The baby, which they named Martin, joins their first child Louisanna Ray who is now four years old.

    In an interview with People in 2010, Sobieski talked about the joys of motherhood. “I just can’t believe I’m a mom. It’s weird! You look at your own mom differently. I realized, ‘You changed all my diapers? You did that?’ You really appreciate your mom,” she said in the interview. She added, “When I was pregnant, I kept praying, ‘Please give me a lovable and loving, mysterious daughter that I can be fascinated by’.”

    Kimmel and Sobieski got married in 2009. Kimmel is the son of American real estate developer Martin Kimmel and grandson of boat racer and designer Donald Aronow. Sobieski revealed that she remained a virgin until the couple’s wedding night. “I guess 26 is kind of old to lose your virginity, but it was important to me that I remained a virgin until after I was married,” she said in an interview with Access Hollywood. “It wasn’t for any religious reasons or anything like that, but simply because, to me, my virginity was the most precious gift that I could ever give to a man, and I wanted to be sure I was giving it to the right man.”

    LeeLee Sobieski Pregnant With Second Child

    Actress LeeLee Sobieski is pregnant with her second child, her rep confirmed to Us Weekly.

    The 30 year-old Eyes Wide Shut star let her baby bump speak for itself at the Christian Dior Cruise 2015 fashion show at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in NYC Wednesday, May 7.

    While posing for photos at the show, Sobieski cradled her baby bump wearing a Dior buttoned cobalt blue top over a matching floor-length dress accessorized with a Dior purse and Dior shoes.

    This is the Branded star’s second child. She already has a daughter, Louisiana Ray, with her husband Adam Kimmel.

    Sobieski married her fashion designer husband in August 2009 and is noted for remaining a virgin until her marriage to Kimmel.

    “It wasn’t for any religious reasons or anything like that, but simply because, to me, my virginity was the most precious gift that I could ever give to a man, and I wanted to be sure I was giving it to the right man,” the actress said.

    The Never Been Kissed star said she loves being a mother and getting to see her daughter grow, saying the experience has completely changed her life.

    “I’m really seeing her curiosity come out now — she just looks so smart,” the actress told People in 2010. “If she laughs, I laugh. If I heard myself talking a year ago, I’d be like, ‘So boring!’ But that’s what happens. My baby is really fascinating to me.”

  • Leelee Sobieski Shows Off Second Pregnancy At Dior Cruise Fashion Show

    Actress Leelee Sobieski is expecting another child. On her way to the Dior Cruise show in Brooklyn, New York, she wore a floor length blue cobalt dress, which was part of the fashion line she was attending. What wasn’t part of the line was a little bead bracelet which spelling “Mommy.” The Daily Mail reported she was spotted with Margot Robbie and Helena Christensen.

    The baby bump was only barely visible.

    Although all signs pointed yes, Her representatives confirmed the pregnancy, according to People magazine, earlier today.

    Of course, that didn’t stop Sobieski from basking in the attention of the press. Smiling, strutting and showing off for the cameras, the actress made her mark, much like she did last year at the Dior fashion show in Paris, France:

    Sobieski’s first child, Louisanna Ray, or Lewi for short, has already proven to be a bundle of joy for the actress. “When I was pregnant, I kept praying, ‘Please give me a lovable and loving, mysterious daughter that I can be fascinated by,” she said. Her wishes did end up coming true: I’m really seeing her curiosity come out now — she just looks so smart. If she laughs, I laugh. If I heard myself talking a year ago, I’d be like, ‘So boring!’ But that’s what happens. My baby is really fascinating to me.” People Magazine reported Sobieski and her partner, Adam Kimmel, made a jungle theme for their first nursery because “if we were babies in a crib looking up, we’d like to see animals rather than lace!” There is no word whether Sobieski’s next child will have a jungle nursery or if her parents will pick another theme.

    According to Rotten Tomatoes, Leelee Sobieski’s most critically acclaimed movies include Uprising, A Soldier’s Daughter Never Dies, Joy Ride, and Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut:
