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.
