Saoirse Ronan confirms the pregnancy with Jack Lowden after debuting the baby bump during the London stroll.
Oscar-nominated actress Saoirse Ronan is pregnant with her first child, marking an exciting new chapter with husband and fellow actor Jack Lowden. The news was confirmed by People magazine after Ronan was spotted with a visible baby bump during a walk in London on June 1, accompanied by Lowden and their dog.
Speculation about the pregnancy had been swirling since Ronan’s recent appearance at the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2026 show in Avignon, France, on 22 May. Clad in a chic ensemble with a gently rounded silhouette, she appeared radiant in front-row seats at the glamorous fashion event, sparking online whispers that she might be expecting.
Now, with the news out, fans have flooded social media with congratulations for the couple, who are known for keeping their private life exactly that—private.
The pair’s relationship dates back to 2018, when they co-starred in Mary Queen of Scots. Ronan portrayed Mary Stuart, the ill-fated queen of Scotland, while Lowden played her second husband, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley. Their on-screen chemistry appears to have translated into a real-life romance, one that has quietly grown over the years.
Lowden, 34, reportedly proposed last year, after he shared a photo of Ronan’s left hand adorned with a sparkling diamond ring in July 2023. By the following summer, the couple had tied the knot in a low-key ceremony in Edinburgh—keeping in line with their under-the-radar approach to fame and family life.
Though Ronan was born in New York and raised in Ireland, she has called Scotland a “second home,” and often spends time there with Lowden, a proud Scotsman. The couple are often spotted walking their dog or enjoying quiet outings away from the limelight, far removed from Hollywood glitz.
In a 2023 interview with i newspaper, Lowden praised his wife as “a force of nature, on- and off-screen, and utterly fearless and a brilliant leader as well.” His admiration for Ronan—both as an actress and a person—was clear, offering fans a rare peek into their supportive relationship.
Known for her powerhouse performances in Brooklyn, Lady Bird, Atonement, and Little Women, Ronan has carved out a unique space in modern cinema as a fiercely talented performer with a taste for complex, emotionally rich characters. Lowden, best known for his work in Dunkirk, Benediction, and numerous stage productions, is also gaining recognition as one of Britain’s most promising actors.
While the couple haven’t made a public statement about the pregnancy, the quiet confirmation and recent sightings have sparked a wave of excitement among fans and celebrity-watchers. Many are now eagerly awaiting future appearances—and, perhaps, the baby’s arrival.
As for names, fans on social media have already begun floating suggestions. One cheeky nod to Ronan’s acclaimed role in Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird gained traction, with a few joking that the couple ought to honour her iconic character in the nursery.
For now, Ronan and Lowden appear to be enjoying the calm before their next big role—as parents. Congratulations to the couple on their growing family.
