Vanessa Kirby Debuts Baby Bump At Premiere Ahead Of First Child With Rumoured Fiancé

Vanessa Kirby is stepping into a brand-new role — motherhood. The fan-favourite star of The Crown turned heads this week when she showed off her baby bump at the Berlin premiere of her new movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Vanessa, now 36, is well known for playing Princess Margaret in Netflix’s The Crown. The Emmy-nominated actress brought the late royal’s boldness and heartbreak to life in a way that won over millions of viewers. But now she’s swapping Buckingham Palace for the Marvel Universe. Next stop: Susan Storm — the Invisible Woman herself — in Fantastic Four.

At the Berlin premiere, all eyes were on Vanessa as she posed alongside co-stars Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. She rocked a sleek black sheer turtleneck gown that hugged her growing bump just right. Velvet straps added just enough coverage while giving her look a subtle edge. The ankle-length dress also had small slits that highlighted her hips, making her silhouette stand out even more as she cradled her bump for the cameras.

She kept her long blonde waves loose and glossy. Her glam was classic Kirby — smoky shadow, a touch of Cleopatra-style eyeliner, and a natural lip. Diamond-drop earrings and a chunky ring rounded out her glowing look. The black sandal heels topped it off — simple but powerful.

Who Is Vanessa Kirby’s Rumoured Fiancé?

Vanessa’s pregnancy news first went public in May 2025 when she hit the CCXP fan event in Mexico and surprised fans with her visible bump. She’s been in a relationship with former US professional lacrosse star Raul Rabil, 39, since 2022. The two first sparked buzz when they were spotted hand-in-hand in New York City. Since then, they’ve kept things pretty private — no red carpets, no splashy couple posts — but reports say they’re now engaged and about to tie the knot. Page Six shared whispers that the couple are planning the next step even as they get ready to welcome their baby.

A Career Packed With Blockbusters

Vanessa’s not new to juggling massive roles. Since her big break on The Crown, she’s turned herself into a blockbuster fixture. She held her own alongside Tom Cruise in two Mission Impossible movies and revved things up in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. Her range stretches far beyond big stunts, too. She stunned critics and audiences alike in Pieces of a Woman — a gut-wrenching drama that earned her a Golden Globe nod, a BAFTA nom, and her first Oscar nomination. She lost to Frances McDormand that year, but it put Vanessa firmly on the map as one of Hollywood’s most versatile stars.

She’s been on fire ever since. Just recently, audiences saw her shine as Empress Joséphine opposite Joaquin Phoenix in Ridley Scott’s Napoleon. Now, she’s ready to suit up in the MCU and steal scenes as Susan Storm — and do it all while getting ready for her biggest real-life role yet: mom.

Vanessa Kirby’s star just keeps rising. With a new Marvel movie on the way, a baby on the horizon, and a rumored wedding on the cards, 2025 is shaping up to be her biggest year yet.
