Vin Diesel’s girlfriend is a perfect Yummy Mummy. She gave birth to his daughter Hania Riley 11 months ago and Vin Diesel is visibly smitten with his little girl. He said fatherhood has made him a “changed man” and also, “You can’t pull me away from my house as easily as you used to, because I’ve got a nine-month-old thing on me and it’s heaven. I love it. I love being a dad.”

Vin Diesel and Paloma Jimenez have not yet set a date for a wedding and he is already thinking of a little sibling for Hania Riley. In fact, he wants to have “12 kids” because fatherhood changed his life in “an incredible way”. Vin, 41 says the arrival of Hania in his life has bettered his world in more ways than one, “It’s changed my life and everything that falls under that umbrella.” He also said that the weight of his daughter - literally - has kept him closer to home than ever. This is Vin’s first child with model Paloma Jimenez.

Vin’s next release is Fast & Furious 4, due out in June. Director Justin Lin said about the actor, “Vin’s always been a very sensitive guy. I think he’s very, very smart. Vin’s very methodical, I mean he’s very much the opposite of what you see a lot of the time. He’s meticulous and I spent hours and hours talking subtext, and that’s the thing I really enjoy with him and something that I don’t think people really know.”

Justin also spoke of Vin’s habits on the set. He joked, “He likes making driving noises when he’s doing the driving scenes - that’s the other thing!”
