Vanessa Kirby, acclaimed for her roles in "The Crown" and "Napoleon," has announced she is expecting her first child. The 37-year-old actress debuted her baby bump at the "Fantastic Four: First Steps" panel event in Mexico City, where she stars as Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman. Kirby appeared on the red carpet in a shimmering blue gown, cradling her bump and sharing the moment with her Marvel co-stars.
This marks Kirby’s first pregnancy, and she has expressed excitement about this new chapter, even noting that she’s learned a lot about motherhood from playing Sue Storm.
Kirby is currently in a relationship with Paul Rabil, a retired American lacrosse star and co-founder of the Premier Lacrosse League. The couple went public on Instagram in November 2023 after being seen together since 2022. Reports indicate they became engaged in December 2024, although neither has publicly confirmed a wedding date.
Fans and fellow celebrities have flooded Kirby’s social media with messages of support as she prepares for both her new film and her journey into motherhood.
