Vanessa Kirby is pregnant.
The 38-year-old actress revealed that she is expecting her first child as she showed off a baby bump during a photocall for her new movie ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ at the Comic Con Experience Mexico on Saturday (31.05.25).
Vanessa is said to have got engaged to her partner Paul Rabil last December after he popped the question after two years of dating, according to the New York Post’s Page Six column.
The pair were first spotted together in New York City in October 2022 and made their romance Instagram official the following year.
Paul, the President of the Premier Lacrosse League, captioned a carousel of Instagram images: “from the very minute we first met in des moines, around the world and back, life is far better, more purposeful and more beautiful with you (sic)”
Before finding love with Paul, Vanessa dated actor Callum Turner for four years but revealed that she chose to keep the relationship private as people weren’t interested in the details.
‘The Crown’ actress said in 2018: “I keep my relationship super private.
“He is just completely wonderful and he’s my best friend, so that’s … I guess you can either choose to talk about it or not. If you talk about it, it becomes interesting to people, but if you don’t, then it’s not.”
Vanessa portrayed Princess Margaret in the first two seasons of the Netflix drama about the British royal family but feared that she was “finished” after playing a part that seemed over-the-top in comparison to Claire Foy’s Queen Elizabeth.
She told The Times newspaper: “Claire is the master of subtlety and I’d be sitting across from her in those scenes with tears coming out, smoking cigarettes, my nose running and I’m shouting in her face.
“And I remember thinking, ‘Oh my God. This could be the most pantomime thing I’ve ever done. I’m going to be finished after this.'”
However, she has since embarked on a career in blockbuster movies – such as ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ – and explained that she is drawn to playing “strange” characters.
Kirby said: “Strange. That’s the biggest compliment you could give me: strange. I just love playing strange; the stranger the better.”
