Rumours are swirling that Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden have quietly become parents, with speculation mounting after reports of filming disruptions on Netflix’s Pride and Prejudice. While neither Ronan nor Lowden has confirmed the news, whispers from production insiders suggest the actor has stepped away to focus on his new family life.
Lowden, who plays Mr Darcy in the upcoming adaptation, is said to be absent from key shoots, leaving producers scrambling to finish scenes. To keep the series on track, lookalikes have reportedly been used in his place. The unusual solution has only intensified curiosity about what is happening behind the scenes.
Ronan, a four-time Oscar nominee, has long been known for keeping her private life out of the spotlight. Over the summer, she appeared at select events with a noticeable bump, sparking speculation, but she never addressed it publicly. Her absence from the Toronto International Film Festival this month, where her new film Bad Apples premiered, added further fuel to the rumours.
Fans online have been quick to react, with many convinced the couple are already adjusting to life as new parents. Some described the whispers as the best-kept secret in Hollywood, while others joked about how their child might inherit world-class acting genes. As one fan wrote, “If Saoirse really had her baby, that child is already destined for Oscars.”
The couple’s relationship has been closely followed ever since they met on the set of Mary Queen of Scots in 2018 and later married in 2024. Their reported baby news has delighted many of their supporters, who admire the way the pair balance high-profile careers with a fiercely private personal life.
Until Ronan or Lowden speak publicly, the truth remains unconfirmed. But whether through production leaks, careful absences, or fan sleuthing, the story of a possible secret baby has taken on a life of its own. For now, the rumours continue to grow, leaving fans waiting to see if Hollywood’s most private couple will finally share their big news.
