Vin Diesel Names Daughter After Late 'Fast and Furious' Co-Star Paul Walker

Have you sobbed yet this morning? If not, get ready.

"Fast & Furious" star Vin Diesel confirmed this morning to the "Today" show that he and his wife, Paloma Jimenez, have decided on a name for their daughter, and they have indeed named her after their late friend Paul Walker.

"I named her Pauline," Diesel said in an interview with Natalie Morales. "There's no other person that I was thinking about as I was cutting the umbilical cord. I knew he was there."

Walker died in a high-speed car wreck back in November of 2013 in Los Angeles, while the upcoming "Fast & Furious 7" was still in production. As a result, Walker will only appear in part of the film. Fans of the franchise were distraught over Walker's death, and very publicly suggested on social media that Diesel should name his daughter after Walker when she was born.

"It felt like a way to keep his memory a part of my family and a part of my world," Diesel said.
