Vanessa Kirby reveals pregnancy at ‘Fantastic Four' red carpet event
British actress Vanessa Kirby revealed that she is pregnant during a red carpet event in Mexico City on Saturday.
Kirby wore a shimmering blue dress for a panel event on the upcoming movie 'Fantastic Four: First Steps,' in which she plays Sue Storm, cradling her bump as she took part in a photocall at the CCXP Mexico 2025 entertainment convention.
The British actress, 37, who also played Princess Margaret in Netflix series 'The Crown' and Josephine Bonaparte in 2023 movie 'Napoleon,' is believed to be dating former professional lacrosse player Paul Rabil.
Neither of the pair have publicly commented on the pregnancy.
CNN has contacted Kirby's representatives for comment.
In November 2023, Rabil posted a series of photos of the couple on Instagram, including a shot of Kirby sitting on his shoulders.
'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 in the caption.
Kirby plays one of the four main characters in Marvel's latest 'Fantastic Four' title, alongside Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
Directed by Matt Shakman, the movie tells the story of how the group defend Earth from a space god named Galactus, played by Ralph Ineson, and the Silver Surfer, portrayed by Julia Garner.
The movie is scheduled for release in July.

This mini-series is a mix of fictional and factual history, and it touches on some complex geopolitical themes. This leads some parents to wonder: is this mini-series appropriate for young audiences? Today on Commotion, culture critic El Jones visits Commotion guest host Ali Hassan to explain why she enjoyed Eyes of Wakanda, and how it can teach kids about cultural theft during the colonization of Africa.

Cook This: 3 recipes from Sunny Days, Taco Nights, including hard shells filled with a meaty mix
Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected. Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through links on this page. Article content Our cookbook of the week is Sunny Days, Taco Nights by acclaimed Mexican chef Enrique Olvera with food critic Alonso Ruvalcaba. Article content A trip to Japan changed chef Enrique Olvera 's perspective on the taco. Born and raised in Mexico City, he was struck by the idea that respect for the street food staple could mirror that for sushi. As sushi spans various contexts and complexity, from 7-Elevens to legendary omakase restaurants, so too could tacos. Article content Article content 'The first time I went to Japan, I was very impressed by the fact that sushi had such a range,' says Olvera. 'When I went to a fancy omakase, of course, you would see the personality of the chef. It was very subtle, but you would see the differences in how they cooked the rice.' Article content Olvera's train of thought went from rice to tortillas. Japanese chefs make sushi rice their own, just as their Mexican counterparts have different techniques for nixtamalizing corn, from the rinsing to the grinding. Like rice in Japan, corn isn't only a core food but a critical crop that Mexican livelihoods depend on. He was also struck by how simple but seasonal sushi is. 'Good tacos are kind of the same,' says Olvera. 'Those three components changed the way I understood tacos. And that's where we started to say, 'OK, you can make three-Michelin-starred sushi. You can also do that with tacos.'' Article content Article content Olvera opened his first restaurant, the two-Michelin-starred Pujol, in 2000. Around 2010, they started experimenting with tacos for the first time, and in 2011, they created a menu centred on them. When Pujol expanded in 2017, the revamp included a 10-seat taco omakase, Mexico City's first taco tasting menu, according to The New York Times, which remains today. Article content Article content His deep appreciation for the taco — Mexico's 'super democratic' food — and the native corn at its foundation, led to Olvera's latest cookbook, Sunny Days, Taco Nights (with Alonso Ruvalcaba, Phaidon, 2025). Article content 'It's for everyone,' Olvera says of the taco. 'It doesn't matter which social class you are or age group. Everybody loves them. And also, one great thing is that it's very adaptable. So, if you're making tacos in Canada, Mexico or Brazil, there's always the possibility of adaptation.' Article content Olvera and Ruvalcaba, a food critic and close friend, had long talked about writing a taco book. When they first added tacos to the menu at Pujol, Ruvalcaba was fascinated by the fact that they were 'courageous' enough to serve tacos in a fine-dining setting, Olvera recalls. 'He's somebody who understands Mexican taco culture profoundly. He's not only a thinker, but an eater, so it was great to collaborate with him.'
