Vin Diesel Named His Daughter After Paul Walker

Get ready to get a little teary-eyed: Vin Diesel announced on Today that he named his new baby daughter after his deceased Furious 7 co-star and pal Paul Walker, who passed away at 40 years old after a fatal car crash in late 2013.

Her name is Pauline.

"He was in the room," Diesel told Natalie Morales. "There's no other person that I was thinking about as I was cutting this umbilical cord. I just ... knew he was there."

After Walker died, Diesel expressed how much he valued his relationship to Walker. "I have a lot of friends and I have a lot of family, but my most prized relationship in some ways was always Paul," he told Access Hollywood," because we started as unknowns and we became iconic together over 15 years and dealt with the pressure of that and we were free people back in 2000 and then as the fame came, we both became more and more recluse."

And now Walker's memory can continue to live on through the Pauline.

Pauline is the 47-year-old actor's third child with his girlfriend, Paloma Jiménez, 31. They are also parents to Hania Riley, 6, and Vincent Sinclair, 4.

Pauline may not be able to appreciate Furious 7 at the time of its premiere, but one day, she'll be able to watch it, and she'll definitely be able to hear Diesel regale her with stories of his friendship with Walker.
