Saoirse Ronan Is Pregnant With Her First Child
Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden are expecting their first child.
The Lady Bird actress previously showed off her growing bump in a black silk and lace slip dress at the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2026.
The couple married last summer in Edinburgh and Ronan later opened up about wanting to start a family.Congratulations are in order, because Saoirse Ronan and her husband Jack Lowden are expecting their first child. People confirmed the news after the Daily Mail published photos of a visibly pregnant Ronan taking a walk with her husband and their dog in London on June 1.
Rumors about Ronan's pregnancy first spread after the actress's appearance at Louis Vuitton Cruise 2026 in Avignon, France, where she wore a lingerie-esque lace and silk slipdress. Styled by Danielle Goldberg, Ronan's black pleated slipdress featured a plunging lace-trimmed neckline and a floaty maxiskirt. She paired the dress with a pair of black strappy flat sandals and she tucked her straight blonde hair behind her ears, showing off a fresh rosy makeup look by Nina Park.
Ronan and Lowden, who was recently cast as Mr. Darcy in Netflix's upcoming Pride & Prejudice adaptation, met in 2018 while filming Mary Queen of Scots. They tied the knot in a private ceremony in Edinburgh in the summer of 2024. As Ronan explained at a red carpet event after the wedding, the city had become her "second home." 'When I was a kid, I had done a couple of days in Edinburgh on a film called Death Defying Acts, and I remember turning to my mam—we were doing a night shoot, everyone was knackered—and I thought 'I'm going to move here one day,'' said Ronan. 'It's just so nice now to kind of call it a second home. Ever since I made Mary Queen of Scots, I've always loved Scotland.
In 2023, Lowden praised his partner to the i newspaper, saying, "The woman is a force of nature, on- and off-screen, and utterly fearless and a brilliant leader as well." Meanwhile, Ronan has also gushed about Lowden, telling Harper's Bazaar, 'When a person you respect as much as I do him says that, it means more than anyone else's opinion.'
Last October, Ronan opened up about wanting kids. 'Yeah, I do,' she told British Vogue of her desire to be a mother. 'I became successful when I was quite young. So it meant that, actually, by the time I found my partner, I'm now at the stage where if it happened, I would like to have a kid. I feel fortunate enough that if I step out of this for a minute, I'm hopefully not giving it up forever. But, yeah, I've always wanted that.'

Can Heritage Drive Modern Luxury?
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur United Kingdom, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Born from the deep well of Moroccan culture yet speaking fluently to an international audience, London based Raphia is more than a confectionery brand - it is a carefully wrought cultural translation. It honours tradition without freezing it in time, and invites the global consumer into a sensory-rich narrative of craftsmanship, generosity, and ritual. "My Moroccan heritage has been the cornerstone of Raphia from the outset," Faress explains. "Not just as a source of inspiration, but as a strategic differentiator." Growing up immersed in Morocco's intricate craftsmanship, its cuisine brimming with complex flavours, and a society where hospitality is a profound value, she learned early that "generosity is a lifestyle, aesthetics are intuitive, and detail is sacred." These elements shaped her understanding of brand-building as an act not merely of commerce, but of cultural storytelling. Yet Faress was careful to avoid replicating tradition as a static template. Instead, she sought to "translate it, to distill the beauty, symbolism, and soul of Moroccan artistry into something that could live on the global stage." For her, heritage is "not as something to preserve in a museum, but as something alive, constantly evolving, yet anchored in meaning." This conviction underpins every aspect of Raphia, from the recipes it revives to the packaging it designs. The path from centuries-old gastronomy, often nurtured in intimate family circles, to a scalable luxury business was far from straightforward. Faress acknowledges the tension inherent in this journey: "Traditional gastronomy often thrives in small, intimate contexts, passed down through generations, refined through ritual, and safeguarded by communities. That intimacy… presents challenges when trying to build a business at scale." The artisanal techniques at the heart of Raphia's products are "highly manual, ingredient-sensitive, and dependent on time," luxuries not always afforded by modern production systems. Navigating this required more than operational savvy; it demanded a commitment to preserving authenticity while building resilience. Faress details the efforts invested in "skilled talent, creating rigorous training protocols, and building trusted supplier relationships that could meet demand without cutting corners." Alongside this, educating customers became critical. "We needed to reframe consumer perception, helping our audience understand why traditional methods matter, and how they enhance value rather than limit scalability," she says. "We weren't just scaling a product, we were scaling a philosophy." In a marketplace crowded with options, Raphia's differentiation lies in its emotional and cultural depth. Faress knew early on that "the differentiation had to come from emotional resonance and cultural sophistication." To that end, Raphia positions itself "not just as a brand that sells confectionery goods, but as one that curates atmosphere, feeling, and memory." Every detail — "every box, every flavour, every texture" — is deliberately crafted to evoke "both nostalgia and modernity," weaving Morocco's influence into "a refined, international aesthetic." This sensibility extends beyond retail into bespoke events, corporate gifting, and creative collaborations, allowing Raphia to "exist across lifestyle, culture, and design." Such agility, Faress notes, has been crucial in reaching "diverse audiences while staying true to our core." The emotional connection is palpable: customers become "brand advocates not because of what they buy, but because of how they feel." Central to this is a finely tuned balance between authenticity and luxury. For Faress, authenticity means "the truth of where something comes from, how it's made, and the intention behind it," while luxury "is about transformation, taking something familiar and refining it to the highest level of quality, design, and experience." She is clear that "the two aren't at odds, but they do require harmony." This manifests in decisions like taking "a centuries-old recipe and rethink[ing] its presentation, refine[ing] the ingredients, or reimagin[ing] the packaging — not to dilute it, but to ensure it speaks to a global audience with a refined sensibility." The result is a brand whose customers span continents and cultures, united by "their desire for authenticity with elegance." They are not simply purchasing products; they are "buying into a story, a memory, a feeling." Every interaction with Raphia becomes a portal into a broader cultural moment, thanks to the brand's steadfast commitment to storytelling. For entrepreneurs looking to root their brands in culture, Faress offers a measured yet passionate counsel. "Honour your source. Cultural heritage is not a trend — it's a lineage, a living legacy," she advises. Building a brand tied to culture means carrying "the weight of generations before you, and the responsibility to interpret that respectfully and creatively." Yet, she cautions, this responsibility should not stifle innovation. "Culture is not static, it evolves, and as entrepreneurs, we have the opportunity to shape that evolution with care and boldness." Creativity, she insists, should be used "not to mimic the past, but to imagine its future." Success depends on surrounding yourself with the right team — collaborators who "share your values, challenge your thinking, and bring operational excellence to your creative vision." Above all, Faress underscores that "brand-building is a marathon, not a sprint," and a purpose-rooted business will be more resilient through every stage of growth. In Raphia, Zineb Faress has crafted a luxury brand that is both a tribute and a transformation — a bridge between Moroccan cultural heritage and a global marketplace hungry for authenticity infused with elegance. It is a story of balance, resilience, and imagination; a reminder that heritage need not be confined to the past but can be a living, evolving source of beauty and meaning.

The Sky Glass Air TV Is Finally Here – And It Rewrites The TV Price Rulebook
British subscription broadcaster Sky has today unveiled more details about its new Glass Air TV series – including a price structure that threatens to make them all but irresistible to anyone on the hunt for a serious TV bargain. Sky first announced the existence of its new Glass Air TVs in a classic 'And one more thing before we go'-style revelation during its Sky Glass Gen 2 TV unveiling event back in February, catching assembled journalists completely by surprise with this more affordable way of combining a Sky channel subscription with a new TV. Details on the Air were sparse back then, though, leaving many questions to be answered regarding its specification and price. Answers which I can now provide. The new Sky Glass Air TVs will be available in three colours and three screen sizes. The Glass Air series will be available in three screen sizes: 43-inch, 55-inch and 65-inch. All three sizes will also be available in any of three color options, too: Sea Green, Carbon Grey, and Cotton White. Your chosen Glass Air will ship with a color-matched remote and stand, as well as as benefitting from a slimmer, sleeker design than that of the Glass Gen 2 sets. You can hang the Airs up on either universal wall mounts or Sky's dedicated bracket, or simply slot them on to their included, no-tools-required desktop stands. The Glass Airs will each feature native 4K resolutions and support high dynamic range playback, with the wide color gamuts associated with HDR content being delivered via a Quantum Dot color system. The Glass Airs' pictures will be accompanied by a built-in Dolby Audio speaker system, while their entire content search and delivery system will run on Sky's proprietary OS – the same sophisticated, highly acclaimed smart software that powers both the original Sky Glass TVs and Sky's Stream boxes. This includes arguably the most advanced and specifically focused voice recognition/control system in the TV world. The single most stand-out trick of Sky's OS for TVs and streaming boxes is, of course, the way they let you live stream (and access on demand) all of Sky's hundreds of channels over a broadband connection, rather than requiring you to have a satellite dish attached to your home. As with the step-up Sky Glass TVs, the three new Air models can all be bought via monthly instalments, rather than requiring you to find all the money to buy them up front. It's this part of the Sky Glass Air offering that I suspect will see them becoming at least as popular as the original and second-gen Sky Glass TVs have been, with Sky confirming that you will be able to buy one for as little as six pounds – yes, that's six pounds – a month (paid over a 48-month period). That price is available for existing Sky subscribers, too, rather than being reserved for new customers. The Sky Glass Air. With Sky channel package subscriptions starting from £15 a month for the Sky Essential package (which includes Netflix and Discovery+ access), you could basically get a brand new 43-inch 4K, HDR-capable TV, dozens of channels and many thousands of hours of on-demand Sky content for as little as £21 a month all in. The 55 and 65-inch Glass Airs attract prices of £10 and £13 a month respectively (which for my money makes the 65-inch model the most attractive all-round proposition) with customers able to choose a 24-month TV subscription or opt for a 31-day rolling contract. Sky adds that you can upgrade your monthly package to the Ultimate TV pack for just £7 a month more, giving you access to such extra channels as (among many others) Sky Max, Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime, Sky History and Sky Showcase. It's also possible to buy a Glass Air up-front if you're able to resist temptation monthly price option, with the 43-inch costing £309, the 55-inch costing £509 and the 65-inch costing £649. "With Sky Glass Air,' says Carli Kerr, MD of Sky TV, 'we're bringing the Sky experience to more people through a beautifully designed TV with stunning picture quality from just £6 a month. It's all about giving people better for less: More choice, great tech, and the content they love, without compromising on quality. From the ultimate performance of Glass Gen 2 to the incredible value of Air, there's now a Sky Glass to suit everyone, whether you're new to Sky or already with us." Sky Glass Air TVs go on sale on Tuesday 10th June via Sky stores, Sky call centres and Currys online, as well as becoming available at physical Currys stores from June 18. — Sky Launches New Gen 2 Sky Glass TVs, With Cheaper Sky Glass Air Sets To Follow Sky Glass One Year On - Still the Future Of TV? Sky Rolls Out Latest Feature Upgrade For Its Glass TVs And Stream Boxes—Including AirPlay Support

Sky Glass Air Makes TV Streaming Cheap
The new Sky Glass Air TV, which comes in 3 sizes. Earlier this year, British satellite broadcasting specialist Sky took the covers off of the 2nd-gen Glass TV, and teased that a cheaper 'Air' version would be following soon. That soon is now, as Sky Glass Air is now official, and undercuts the cost of its pricier brethren by around 50% across the board. Those savings obviously mean some compromises compared to the higher-end Glass 2, and it's on the physical attributes where that's most notable. Like Glass 2, Glass Air features 4K Quantum Dot HDR screens, but doesn't have local dimming; instead the TVs in the range offer a global dimming system, but there is still support for HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision HDR formats. On the audio front, they don't have the built-in 3.1.2-channel built-in Dolby Atmos speaker system, instead it's a more standard Dolby Audio system; so you will probably want to invest in a soundbar to go with the Air. That does mean though that Air (the clue is in the name) is a lot more svelte than Glass 2. I had a chance to get eyes-on with the new models at a recent briefing and they are, in my opinion at least, a lot better looking. Coming in Sea Green, Carbon Grey, and Cotton White, the new TVs are super stylish, with the remotes color-matched to the TV, as well. Sky Glass Air, like the original Glass and Glass 2, is a TV and set-top box all in one, that not only gives you access to Sky's channels, catch-up and live programming, but also an array of the most popular streaming apps, including the likes of Apple TV, Netflix, iPlayer, Prime and Discovery+. The new Sky Glass Air TV homescreen Running on the newly renamed Sky OS, with an improved interface that provides 30 more genre rails on the homepage, personalised on watch history, the idea is basically a huge aggregation of all the native and third-party content on offer, much like you'd find on a Fire TV, but without the need for extra set-top boxes or dongles. Like Sky Glass Gen 2, Glass Air comes in three size options of 43-inch, 55-inch and 65-inch. Whatever size you choose, you'll get a trio of HDMI ports on the back (one of which is eARC) and a 60Hz refresh rate panel. Sky Glass Air works in sync with any existing Glass TVs (or indeed Stream pucks) in a household, so you can carry on watching something in one room that you started in another, and all of your playlists will work across multiple devices. You can choose to pay for Glass Air up-front: £309 for the 43-inch model, £509 for the 55-inch, or £649 for the 65-inch. Or you can pay in interest-free monthly instalments, with both 24 and 48 month contracts on offer. That means, with a £20 up-front fee, you could get a Sky Glass Air TV for as little as £6 per month. You will, of course, need a Sky TV package to go with it, with plans starting from £15. Sky Glass Air will officially be available to order next week, starting June 10th.
