Caterina Murino is pregnant
Caterina Murino is pregnant. The 47-year-old actress - who is best known for her role as Solange in Casino Royale opposite Daniel Craig - is expecting her first child with Edouard Rugaud, her partner of eight years, following an "excruciating" journey with IVF treatment, during which she suffered two miscarriages. Caterina, who will give birth to a baby boy at the end of summer, shortly before turning 48, told France's Gala magazine: 'At my age, I had to ask medicine to help nature. "You don't always decide when the right time to become a mother comes.' Despite her fertility struggles, Caterina has enjoyed a smooth and healthy pregnancy. She said: 'I haven't had any discomfort, no diabetes, no insomnia.' And while she is feeling anxious about her delivery, the Italian star feels confident in "the fantastic work" of her midwife team. Caterina has hailed her pregnancy a "magical moment". She told Italy's Costa Smeralda: 'I feel I am living a magical moment. Soon I will become a mother, and I believe we all have a huge responsibility today: raise conscious human beings.' The Garden of Eden actress has admitted she only understood the "significance" of her breakout role in 2006's Casino Royale much later. She told Costa Smeralda: 'It was a tremendous opportunity, but perhaps I only understood its significance later. '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.' Caterina received death threats in response to her saucy scene with Daniel in the movie. She said: "When he kissed me in the film… it was so sexy, so real. It must have looked very real, because among the many fan letters I got was a death threat from someone who was jealous."

Bond Girl girl Caterina Murino, 47, reveals she is pregnant after IVF heartbreak
Former Bond girl Caterina Murino has revealed she is expecting her first child at 47, after two heartbreaking miscarriages and a gruelling IVF journey. The Italian actress, who shot to global fame alongside Daniel Craig in his 007 debut Casino Royale, confirmed she is pregnant with a baby boy, due in September, the same month she will turn 48.

The star bravely spoke about her previous miscarriages and described her fertility journey as 'trying,' but said she is now looking forward to the new chapter with joy and gratitude. Caterina also recalled the intense public reaction to her steamy scene with Craig in Casino Royale, where she played the seductive Solange. She revealed that one fan's jealousy even led to a terrifying death threat. 'When he kissed me in the film… it was so sexy, so real,' she said. 'It must have looked very real, because among the many fan letters I got was a death threat from someone who was jealous.' Despite the darker side of fame, the actress says she remains proud of her role in the iconic spy franchise and is now focused on the biggest role of her life: becoming a mum. It was British theatre and actors (she regards Kenneth Branagh and Daniel Craig as 'gods') that inspired Caterina to become an actress. She grew up in Sardinia and originally intended to become a doctor, but when she failed to get into medical school, she entered the Miss Italy contest and came fourth, before becoming a model. She shot to fame in 2006 when she starred as a Bond girl alongside Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. The star played Solange who Bond seduces before she is tortured to death later in the film.

The actress was posing up a storm with her beloved dog on the red carpet, before it escaped from her and ran loose. Patroness of the festival Caterina struck a slew of poses with her sausage dog, until it ran off during the film screening. In a series of hilarious moments, Caterina managed to catch up with the dog and put its leash back on. The star was captured trying to reach out to the cheeky pet as it tried to wander during the iconic event. How does IVF work? In-vitro fertilisation, known as IVF, is a medical procedure in which a woman has an already-fertilised egg inserted into her womb to become pregnant. It is used when couples are unable to conceive naturally, and a sperm and egg are removed from their bodies and combined in a laboratory before the embryo is inserted into the woman. Once the embryo is in the womb, the pregnancy should continue as normal. The procedure can be done using eggs and sperm from a couple or those from donors. Guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends that IVF should be offered on the NHS to women under 43 who have been trying to conceive through regular unprotected sex for two years. People can also pay for IVF privately, which costs an average of £3,348 for a single cycle, according to figures published in January 2018, and there is no guarantee of success. The NHS says success rates for women under 35 are about 29 per cent, with the chance of a successful cycle reducing as they age. Around eight million babies are thought to have been born due to IVF since the first ever case, British woman Louise Brown, was born in 1978. Chances of success The success rate of IVF depends on the age of the woman undergoing treatment, as well as the cause of the infertility (if it's known). Younger women are more likely to have a successful pregnancy. IVF isn't usually recommended for women over the age of 42 because the chances of a successful pregnancy are thought to be too low. Between 2014 and 2016 the percentage of IVF treatments that resulted in a live birth was: 29 per cent for women under 35 23 per cent for women aged 35 to 37 15 per cent for women aged 38 to 39 9 per cent for women aged 40 to 42 3 per cent for women aged 43 to 44 2 per cent for women aged over 44
