Vin Diesel announced last week that he and longtime girlfriend, Paloma Jimenez, gave birth to their third child.

Recently, it was announced that the couple would honor Vin Diesel’s late friend and co-star, Paul Walker, by naming their newborn daughter after him.

“I named her Pauline,” Diesel revealed in an interview with the “Today” show on Monday. “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… It felt like, you know, a way to keep his memory a part of my family and a part of my world.”

Paul Walker passed away in an unfortunate car crash in November 2013. His last film will be “Furious 7”. The movie was premiered during the South By Southwest festival.

Producer, Neal H. Moritz paid tribute and said, “He was really the best guy I ever met in my world — in my life. When we decided we were going to continue this movie, we were determined to honor his legacy and our love for him forever.” His presence is not only missed by his cast mates, but the entire world!!!
