Saoirse Ronan is entering a luminous new chapter—one that comes not in the form of a script, but in real life. The four-time Oscar nominee is expecting her first child, a quietly joyful revelation made at none other than the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2026 show, where she arrived swathed in a sleek black silk dress that tenderly revealed her growing bump.
The moment—understated, elegant, and unmistakably Saoirse—confirmed the whispers: the acclaimed actor is pregnant with her first child with husband Jack Lowden. The pair, known for their artful discretion, wed in a private ceremony in Edinburgh in July 2024 after quietly getting engaged the year prior. Their love story began on the set of Mary, Queen of Scots, where Ronan portrayed the titular monarch and Lowden her ill-fated consort, Henry Darnley—a cinematic pairing that gracefully carried over into real life.
Lowden, in a rare and endearing interview with The Guardian, once described the ease of their shared profession: “Being with an actor is wonderful, because we understand each other… We’re quite odd people, actors. We’re strange animals.” There’s a romance in that honesty—a glimpse into a partnership rooted in shared passion, mutual understanding, and, yes, line readings.
Now, as Ronan steps into the role of a lifetime—motherhood—she does so with the same grace and quiet strength that have long defined her red carpet presence and screen performances alike.
