Star Wars actress Felicity Jones confirms she's pregnant at film premiere
Congratulations!
Actress Felicity Jones has revealed she's expecting her first baby with her husband of one year, Charles Guard. The 36-year-old, who starred in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, confirmed her pregnancy to People magazine after stepping out on the red carpet to show off her blossoming bump.
Felicity, who is incredibly private about her personal life, was attending the premiere of The Aeronauts, her new movie in which she stars alongside Eddie Redmayne, who she previously worked with on The Theory of Everything about Stephen Hawking - the pair playing Stephen and his first wife, Jane Hawking.
Although neither Felicity nor Charles having any social media accounts, the sight of her bump was enough to reveal the happy news, and she later confirmed it to People magazine via her representative.
Felicity, who also starred alongside Tom Hanks in 2016 Da Vinci Code trilogy film Inferno and also as real-life US lawyer Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2018 film On The Basis Of Sex, married Charles in July 2018 at Sudeley Castle in the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire after three years of dating.
In 2016, she opened up about having children to Harper’s Bazaar, "Fortunately, I feel like we’re in a new era, where it is empowering rather than limiting to have children. From what I can see from friends and relatives, women get stronger and more decisive from having children, they don’t waste their time doing things they don’t want to."
Congratulations to the couple!
