LOS ANGELES -- Vin Diesel's "family" mantra isn't just something his Fast & Furious character Dominic Toretto likes to repeat often -- it's something Diesel himself holds dear, too.
The Furious Seven star revealed that he and longtime girlfriend Paloma Jimenez named their newborn daughter Pauline, in honor of Paul Walker, his late co-star and friend (sorry, brother). Diesel announced the birth last week, the third child for the couple, on his Facebook page.

Diesel revealed the name to Today anchor Natalie Morales during a weekend helicopter ride over Los Angeles.
"There's no other person that I was thinking about as I was cutting this umbilical cord," Diesel said. "I just knew he was there. It felt like a way to keep his memory a part of my family and a part of my world."
