Vanessa Kirby has some fantastic news.
After revealing she was pregnant in May by debuting her baby bump on the red carpet, the Fantastic Four actress has given birth to her and boyfriend Paul Rabil’s first child.
The lacrosse player confirmed the news while sharing a glimpse into fatherhood.
“I’m learning that becoming a parent slows you down and wakes you up at the same time,” Paul wrote alongside an Oct. 20 Instagram post featuring photos of the couple with their newborn. “That I’m really grateful for everyone’s health, that I get to wake up everyday to mum’s enormous love, and that we get to have you in our lives now. For your first cradle stick. It’ll hold many stories and blessings. Likely broken windows too. Balls are allowed in the house.”
As for the Crown actress, she previously confessed she’s already learned some important lessons on motherhood from her Marvel character Sue Storm’s pregnancy in Fantastic Four: First Steps.
“It didn’t define who she was,” Vanessa told People in July. “She was absolutely a mother, and of course, in the comics, that’s so definitively her. But she’s also been a team member that defends, that goes up against great threats.”
She added, “I literally had the lived experience of somebody who was doing this incredibly sacred thing and fulfilling what she needed to do at the same time as a woman and a team member, and that changed me.”
