The Crown star Vanessa Kirby, known for her role as Princess Margaret in the Netflix series, confirmed her pregnancy while walking the red carpet
Vanessa Kirby announced her pregnancy while walking the red carpet for the Mexico City premiere of Fantastic Four: First Steps. The star, best known for her role as Princess Margaret in Netflix’s The Crown, cradled her bump while rocking a metallic blue and green halter neck dress on the red carpet.
She styled her blonde locks in loose waves and rocked black high heels and simple makeup for the special occasion. Sharing snaps from the event on her Instagram, she wrote: “Mexico, we loved you! Gracias – we had the best time, you were amazing to us. I learnt so much from Sue Storm about being a first-time mother in the film.
“Very grateful and surreal to be on this journey with her, as I’m now about to become one myself. Thank you to everyone for the beautiful love and support. It means the world to me. And thank you as always.”
Fans rushed to the comment section to congratulate her, with one user writing: “mother, literally and figuratively,” and another posting: “Congratulations, I’m so happy for you, you’re going to be a fantastic mother.”
“Words can’t describe how happy I’m so to see you becoming a mother especially after Pieces of A Woman. So proud of you. There’s no doubt that you’ll be an amazing mother. Congratulations Noo,” one fan page wrote.
Another follower commented: “Absolutely thrilled for you! [heart emojis] Wishing you all every blessing.”
Vanessa’s Fantastic Four character, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, will be pregnant in the upcoming Marvel movie – which comes out on July 25.
She got engaged to professional Lacrosse player Paul Rabil in 2024, with the two first sparking dating rumours in October 2022. They went Instagram official with their relationship in November 2023 when Paul posted a snap on his page.
Along with a photo of the duo, he wrote: “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.”
Meanwhile, Vanessa stars in the new Marvel movie alongside Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
She previously played Alanna Mitsopolis, also known as the White Widow, in the Mission: Impossible film series. She first appeared in Fallout (2018) before returning in Dead Reckoning (2023). She’s expected to reprise the role in the Final Reckoning, which is set to be released next year.
Her other recent acting credits have included playing Empress Joséphine in Napoleon (2023) and Dora Strauch in Eden (2024).
