Saoirse Ronan has confirmed she is pregnant! The four-time Oscar nominee is expecting her first child with husband Jack Lowden, as confirmed by People magazine on Sunday, June 1.

Rumours of the Little Women star’s pregnancy began to quietly swirl following her recent appearance at Louis Vuitton’s Cruise 2026 show in Avignon, France, where the Irish actress, an ambassador for the house, wore a minimalist slip dress with a lace trim and an empire waist that, with effortless elegance, revealed the faintest suggestion of a baby bump.

Ronan and Lowden’s romance began the way many Hollywood love stories do—on set. In 2018, they met when starring opposite one another in Mary Queen of Scots. Though it’s unclear when they officially began dating, after years of quietly building a life together, the couple reportedly wed in a private ceremony in Scotland in July 2024—unsurprising for two talents known for keeping their personal lives out of the spotlight.

During the press tour for the film, Lowden gushed about his future wife.

“The woman is a force of nature on and off screen, and utterly fearless and a brilliant leader as well,” he said during an AOL panel. “For being 24 years old, it’s just constantly amazing to me, not just her work, but how she is on a set is amazing.”

On the work front, their creative partnership has continued to flourish as well. Most recently, Ronan, 31, starred in The Outrun, a visceral portrait of addiction and recovery set in the Shetland Islands, adapted from Amy Liptrot’s memoir. Lowden, 35, served as co-producer on the project.

“Through my partner in crime, life, and love,” Ronan told W magazine, about how she came about the role. “[Jack] handed me the book and said, ‘This is the next role that you have to play.’”
