The actress is engaged to professional lacrosse player Paul Rabil, with news of their engagement revealed last December following two years together. Their relationship first gained attention in October 2022 after being spotted in New York, later becoming Instagram official with a heartfelt tribute from Rabil.

The announcement has stirred fan excitement, particularly as it mirrors her character, Sue Storm’s storyline in the upcoming Marvel film.

Earlier footage shown at CinemaCon revealed that Sue is also pregnant in the movie, and a Pop! Funko figure recently teased the arrival of Franklin Richards, a powerful character from the comics.

Kirby’s real-life pregnancy and Sue Storm’s arc have added unexpected depth to the film’s narrative.

Fantastic Four: First Steps, slated for release on July 25, 2025.
