Vanessa Kirby is expecting her first child... as she shows off her bump at a photo-call for The Fantastic Four in Mexico
revealed she's expecting her first child during a photo-call for The Fantastic Four in Mexico City on Saturday.
The actress, 37, looked sensational in a metallic blue gown at the 2025 CCXP (formerly known as Comic Con Experience) and tenderly touched her stomach as she posed for the cameras.
Last December it was reported she was engaged to her lacrosse-player boyfriend Paul Rabil, 39, and they were set to head down the aisle after he popped the question, according to Page Six.
Vanessa was joined by her The Fantastic Four: First Steps co-stars Joseph Quinn, Pedro Pascal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach at the event in Mexico to promote the film.
The movie is intended to be the 37th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the second reboot of the Fantastic Four film series.
It is directed by Matt Shakman and stars Pedro, Vanessa, Joseph and Ebon as the titular team.
In the film, the Fantastic Four must protect their 1960s-inspired retro-futuristic world from the planet-devouring cosmic being Galactus.
Vanessa and Paul first sparked dating rumours walking hand-in-hand through New York City in October 2022.
However, the couple didn't make their romance Instagram official until November 2023.
At the time, Paul - who is the co-founder of the Premier Lacrosse League - shared a series of photographs of the couple including one of them embracing on a beach.
'From the very minute we first met in Des Moines, around the world and back, life is far better, more purposeful and more beautiful with you,' he wrote about the film star.
The couple have been spotted on several occasions together since 2022, but had kept quiet about their blossoming romance.

Reprieve for critically ill Mexican girl, 4, who could have died within days if deported under Trump order
The family of a four-year-old girl from California who is suffering from a rare disease will be spared deportation so that she can continue to receive life-saving medical treatment in the U.S. The family was granted temporary humanitarian permission to enter the U.S. from her home country of Mexico in 2023 after the little girl, Sofia, urgently needed treatment for short bowel syndrome, a rare condition that stops her from absorbing nutrients in food. The treatment she required was not available in Mexico and she condition was worsening, according to the family's lawyers. The family was targeted for deportation by the Trump administration, according to their lawyers. However, following media reports highlighting her case, lawmakers organized to demand she be given the chance to stay for humanitarian reasons. In April, the girl's mother, Deysi Vargas, learned that her humanitarian protections and her own permission to legally work in the U.S. was being revoked by the Trump administration, and a letter informing of her of that change advised her to voluntarily leave or else "the federal government will find you." Sofia's condition requires her to receive regular medical treatments that force her to be hooked up to an intravenous feeding system for 14 hours at night. Only a specialist team from Children's Hospital Los Angeles can oversee her medical needs. Her doctors at the hospital told the Los Angeles Times that she could die within days of stopping her treatments. 'By moving quickly, the agency has ensured that a four‑year‑old girl can continue receiving the specialized medical treatment that keeps her alive,' the family's attorney, Rebecca Brown of the nonprofit Public Counsel, told the LA Times. However, many families still face harm under the sweeping policy to do away with humanitarian parole. We ask the government to ensure that no one be put in harm's way.' A group of 38 congressional Democrats, including California Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff, gathered to condemn her scheduled deportation and advocate on the family's behalf. The family learned on Monday via a letter from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service that they had been granted "Humanitarian Parole for a period of one year." The Trump administration previously denied that the girl was being deported after her story became national news. Last week, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told The Independent via email that the family's application for humanitarian parole was "still being considered." 'Any reporting that Vargas and her family are actively being deported are FALSE,' the official said. 'This family applied with USCIS for humanitarian parole on May 14, 2025, and the application is still being considered.'

Seriously ill girl ordered to leave US gets reprieve after warning she could die within days
A seriously ill girl ordered to leave the US has been given a year's reprieve after warnings she could die within days if her treatment was stopped. Four-year-old Sofia, whose real name we are not using, is being treated at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles. She uses a backpack that feeds her nutrients she can't absorb naturally - and the cutting-edge treatment is only available in the US. Sofia was born with short bowel syndrome, a debilitating life-threatening condition. She and her mother, Deysi, entered the US legally in July 2023 and were granted humanitarian parole to access medical care for two years. In April - three months into the Trump presidency - the family got a letter saying their humanitarian parole was being revoked and they had to return immediately to Mexico. Lawyers for the family said doctors had warned she could die "within days" if her treatment was interrupted. "We're sending them to die," lawyer Gina Amato Lough told Sky News last week. "That's not justice and it doesn't make us any safer. We cannot let our country turn its back on this child," said Ms Lough. They wrote to officials to plead the family's case - and it seems to have worked. Her mother has now received an approval notice for humanitarian parole for another year. The move will be a relief for Deysi, who said she had "so much anxiety" over whether they would be deported and her daughter's life put at risk. "It's always in my mind that my daughter can die," she said. "It may not sound real, but it is really what will happen if my daughter is not connected to her treatment." The Department of Homeland Security said in a previous statement that claims the family were being deported were false. "This family applied for humanitarian parole on May 14, 2025, and the application is still being considered," it said.

White House restores legal status of child with life-threatening illness
The Trump administration has reversed its decision to revoke the legal status of a four-year-old girl, receiving ongoing life-saving treatment in the US, and her family after a national outcry. Deysi Vargas, her husband and their daughter – whom lawyers identified by the pseudonym Sofia – had come to the US in 2023 to seek medical care for their daughter who has a rare condition that requires specialized treatment. But in April, the federal government ended their humanitarian parole, a temporary status granted to people on urgent humanitarian grounds, and ordered them to 'self-deport'. Sofia's doctors warned that she would likely die 'within days' if forced to return to Mexico and her family and attorneys fought the deportation order, describing it as unlawful and 'a cruel betrayal of our nation's values'. Sign up to This Week in Trumpland A deep dive into the policies, controversies and oddities surrounding the Trump administration after newsletter promotion Her case, which an attorney for the family said highlighted 'the recklessness of this administration's deportation policies', sparked outrage and a significant response from Democratic lawmakers. Dozens of representatives and both of California's senators, Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla, signed a letter urging the Department of Homeland Security to extend the family's legal status. 'We believe this family's situation clearly meets the need for humanitarian aid and urge you and this Administration to reconsider its decision. It is our duty to protect the sick, vulnerable, and defenseless. Without action, S.G.V. will die,' the lawmakers wrote. The Los Angeles Times first reported on Tuesday that the administration had restored legal status for the family, sending a letter on Monday that stated: 'This is to advise you that effective June 2, 2025, you have been granted Humanitarian Parole for a period of one year.'
