Penelope has previously spoken out about how motherhood has transformed her life.
She said: 'From the first second, you feel so much love.
'It is a revolutionary experience. That's the best way I can describe it. It transforms you completely, in a second.

She is also determined to keep her kids out of the public eye, despite hers and 43-year-old Javier's successful careers.
She explained: 'I want my son and my kids - if I have more - to grow up in a way that is as anonymous as possible.
'The fact that his father and I have chosen to do the work we do doesn't give anybody the right to invade our privacy.'
