Little Women Star Saoirse Ronan and Husband Jack Lowden Expecting Their First Child
Ronan, 31, and Lowden, 34, reportedly couldn't be happier about the upcoming arrival. The couple first met in 2018 while filming Mary Queen of Scots, where Ronan played the title role and Lowden portrayed her second husband, Lord Darnley. Their on-screen chemistry quickly blossomed into a real-life relationship.
Lowden has openly praised Ronan in past interviews, calling her a 'force of nature' and a 'brilliant leader.' Ronan echoed the admiration, telling Harper's Bazaar that his praise meant more than anyone else's. In a 2023 interview with British Vogue, the Little Women star said she had 'always wanted' marriage and children, and felt ready to embrace motherhood without sacrificing her career.
The couple currently reside in a €2.8 million home in Islington, north London, with their terrier, Fran. Ronan also owns a coastal cottage in Ballydehob, west Cork. Together, they co-produced the 2024 film adaptation of The Outrun, in which Ronan starred. She described Lowden as 'a lot calmer' and her 'voice of reason' in creative collaborations.
While they haven't appeared together on screen since Mary Queen of Scots, Ronan recently teased a possible future stage project with Lowden, saying she'd convinced him it would be 'a great idea.'
From child prodigy to four-time Oscar nominee, Ronan has long been a standout talent in the film world. Now, as she prepares for motherhood with her equally accomplished husband by her side, this next chapter promises to be one of her most rewarding yet.

Denzel Washington talks about cancel culture, says ‘Who cares?'
Los Angeles: Hollywood star Denzel Washington has shared his thoughts on cancel culture, which he is not afraid of, and said he doesn't care. When the actor was asked if he considers being "canceled," in an interview with Complex News, Washington clarified, "What does that mean — to be canceled?" After being told by the interviewer "it means you lose public support," Washington replied, "Who cares?" "What made public support so important to begin with?," he added, while promoting his latest film, Highest 2 Lowest, alongside frequent collaborator and director Spike Lee, reports In response, the interviewer replied that "followers now are currency" — however, Washington still wasn't moved. "I don't care who's following who," he said. "You can't lead and follow at the same time, and you can't follow and lead at the same time. I don't follow anybody. I follow the heavenly spirit.' He added: 'I follow God, I don't follow man. I have faith in God. I have hope in man, but look around, it ain't working out so well." Washington reiterated that he doesn't care about being "followed," adding, "You can't be canceled if you haven't signed up. Don't sign up." The Oscar winner began to laugh and stretch his arms as he told Lee, "Don't get me started. You know, chest is getting tight talking about it." Lee echoed a similar sentiment and added, "I could care less." Taraji P. Henson, who saw a video clip of the interview posted to the Instagram account for Complex, commented, "HE BETTER PREACH!!!! Humans don't have that kind of power over my ordained life. #GODIS #MANAINTIT Have a blessed day." Washington has proven in recent days that he's not one to be moved by public opinion. During a recent conversation with journalist Jake Hamilton on Jake's Takes, Washington confessed he's not pressed about receiving Academy Awards.

And that's not all, Golden, one of the songs in the film's soundtrack, made history on the Billboard Hot 100 chart by becoming the first K-pop girl group song, although fictional, to top the chart. Now, Arden Cho, May Hong, and Ji Young Yoo, the stars behind the voices of the demon-hunting K-pop girl group HUNTR/X (Huntrix), are sharing their experience on receiving unexpected love and admiration from all over the world. The actresses sat down for an interview with Gold Derby and discussed the possibility of receiving awards and recognition from popular K-pop artists like BTS. For Arden, who plays Rumi, the lead vocalist of Huntrix, the possibility of getting an Oscar feels surreal. She said, 'It would be such an honour. We feel so lucky just to be here and to be receiving all this love. It's amazing to be part of a movie that makes everybody feel good." May Hong, who voiced Mira, shared that she couldn't 'wrap" her head around the fact that their film is contending for Oscars. Ji Young Yoo, who was the voice behind Zoey, the maknae of Huntrix, agreed to what May said and added, 'I think the fact that we went from making a movie that I think we all really loved and cared about to it developing into this phenomenon worldwide, to what is quickly becoming an Oscar and awards run…I'm just along for the ride, and I'll process it all after."

May Hong added, 'When I see that they all have millions and millions of followers, I also can't wrap my mind around that they're so into what we have done. Obviously, we didn't sing or dance personally, but still. Even with Lee Byung Hun [the Squid Game actor who voiced Gwi Ma, the king of demons in KPop Demon Hunters], it's like, so that person knows I exist?" Sharing that they were initially worried about whether the audience would accept the depiction of Korea in the film, Young Yoo quipped, 'We wanted to make sure we got Korea right, that we got the culture right. All of us were like, 'Will they approve? Will they accept it?' So to see them not just accept it but embrace it, and support it, and give us so much love, is just the biggest sigh of relief. " She further added, 'The warmth that spread through our bodies when all of this started happening was really just wonderful, and as an ARMY for 10 years, going on 11 now, there's no words. I felt my organs shut down (when BTS mentioned the film)." Arden explained that the moment was unforgettable. 'All of our phones were blowing up. Everyone was like, 'Did you see it?'" she revealed. Meanwhile, Ji Young Yoo candidly mentioned, 'Everyone kept asking me what I thought, and there's no thoughts. I thought I might faint."
