Vanessa Kirby announces pregnancy on the red carpet

During a recent event at the CCXP Mexico 2025 entertainment convention in Mexico City, British actress Vanessa Kirby made headlines by revealing her pregnancy. Wearing a shimmering blue dress, Kirby, who is known for her roles in popular series and films, including 'The Crown' and 'Napoleon,' cradled her baby bump while participating in a photocall for the highly anticipated movie 'Fantastic Four: First Steps.' As a prominent figure in the upcoming Marvel film, she plays the character Sue Storm, alongside fellow actors Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. The movie is directed by Matt Shakman and tells the story of a group of superheroes defending Earth from adversaries such as Galactus and the Silver Surfer. Kirby, currently believed to be in a relationship with former professional lacrosse player Paul Rabil, has not made any public statements regarding her pregnancy nor has Rabil. In November 2023, Rabil shared images of the couple on social media, expressing the profound impact Kirby has had on his life since they met. Despite the current silence on the pregnancy from both Kirby and Rabil, the announcement has garnered significant attention, highlighting both the excitement surrounding their expanding family and the anticipation for the next installment in the Marvel franchise, scheduled for release in July.
