I can't believe she's not on our list of the Sexiest Moms Alive 2010.

Unless you're a lover of Italian films with lots of subtitles, you probably don't know Monica Bellucci, an Italian-born actress and fashion model.

But you might be hearing more about her in the future, as she's slated to star in two American films now in post-production: The Whistleblower and The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

You may also remember her as Dracula's bride in the 1992 film version of Bram Stoker's Dracula starring Gary Oldman.

She's married to Vincent Cassel, a French actor who was in Ocean's Twelve and Ocean's Thirteen, with whom she has a daughter.

But that's enough obscurity for now. Just behold one beautiful, older pregnant lady!
