Fans want to know all about four-time Oscar-nominee Saoirse Ronan after she recently hit an incredible milestone with her famous husband
Saoirse Ronan, 31, is widely considered one of the best actresses of her generation after first breaking out on the big screen as a child performer in iconic films like Atonement and The Lovely Bones.
Following her first Academy Award nomination aged just 13 for Atonement, she has since received three more Oscar nods for Brooklyn, Lady Bird and Little Women.
However, despite being in some of the most high-profile films of the past decade, Ronan is known for keeping her personal life under wraps and rarely uses social media.
Even so, she is known for her relationship with an equally well-known actor who currently stars in one of the most popular streaming shows of the 2020s.
The pair have also reportedly reached an incredible milestone in their relationship, so let’s take a look at everything we know about Ronan’s life at the moment.
Who is Saoirse Ronan’s husband Jack Lowden?
Jack Lowden, 35, is a Scottish actor who is best known for portraying MI5 agent River Cartwright in the Apple TV+ drama Slow Horses.
He has been in a relationship with Ronan since 2018 after starring together in the historical drama film Mary Queen of Scots, which also featured Barbie star Margot Robbie.
Lowden has also starred in the BBC drama series The Gold, portrayed war poet Siegfried Sassoon in Benediction and recently appeared in the action film Tornado.
The Slow Horses star is next set to portray Mr Darcy in the Dolly Alderton-penned adaptation of Pride and Prejudice for Netflix, opposite Emma Corrin as Elizabeth Bennet.
In July 2024, The Irish Independent reported that Ronan and Lowden had tied the knot in Edinburgh.
Has Saoirse Ronan given birth?
Reports emerged in May 2025 that Ronan and Lowden were expecting their first child together after the actress was spotted with a baby bump in London.
The actors did not comment to confirm the news at the time, but Ronan later stepped out at Paris Fashion Week with her bump on full display in a loose emerald-black gown.
Since then, the couple are now believed to have quietly welcomed their first child recently after photos of the pair pushing a buggy were obtained by the Sun.
The Daily Mail has reported that production on Pride and Prejudice has slowed following Lowden becoming a father for the first time.
“But the show must go on, and that means the producers have had to keep on filming and that has meant they have had to have some stand-ins for Mr Darcy.
“So it has been a case of lookalikes for Jack so that there is no disruption.”
At this time the name and sex of Ronan and Lowden’s first child has not been made public.
What is Saoirse Ronan’s new film Bad Apples about?
Ronan’s film career is showing no signs of slowing down amidst her exciting baby news.
Her next feature, Bad Apples, recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), though a wide release date has not been confirmed just yet.
Based on the book De Oönskade by Danish author Rasmus Andersson, The Little Women star portrays a British teacher named Maria who goes to desperate lengths during a feud with one of her students.

An official synopsis for the film reads: “Maria is a teacher finding her class of ten year-olds disrupted by one unruly pupil.”
Little else is known about the film at the moment as there is currently no trailer, however it has received strong reviews out of TIFF.
IndieWire called it a “deliciously dark comedy about the pressures of a broken school system” in their rave review.
And The Wrap says: “[Director Jonatan] Etzler wields the film’s urgent satire like a scalpel, precisely cutting away at all the lies we so easily find ourselves telling that mask the darker truths about who we are.”
After Bad Apples, Ronan will next star opposite Austin Butler in 2000s-set romance film Deep Cuts, which is being produced by A24 and directed by The Iron Claw’s Sean Durkin.
