Italian catwalk queen Carla Bruni is another internationally famous face to opt for a lower profile following the birth of her first child.
The 33-year-old Paris-based model found true love with French philosophy professor Rafael Enthoven and the couple now have a son, Aureliano, who was born in June 2001.
Although she has maintained her stunning figure and still takes to the catwalk for the odd show – she modelled the latest line from Yves Saint Laurent at this year’s Paris Fashion Week – these days Carla has swapped the world of glamour for the intellectual circle of her boyfriend.
