ACTRESS Jessie Buckley has revealed she had given birth to her first child.
The 35-year-old star kept her pregnancy largely private and only confirmed she was expecting when she proudly posed with her baby bump on the red carpet back in April of this year.
Now, the star has revealed she is a mother after welcoming a child, a baby girl, earlier this year.
Jessie has confirmed her motherhood during promotion for her upcoming film, Hamnet.
The star has admitted in a new interview that she was longing to become a parent during the filming of the movie and eventually fell pregnant with her child shortly after it wrapped.
She was heard speaking on The New York Times‘ Modern Love podcast in which she detailed falling pregnant after playing the role of a grieving mother for the movie.

Jessie said: “I’m not surprised I got pregnant a week after I finished filming because I had coaxed… it was also quite intense to have that need while I was in this place of absolute mother and it not be a real thing yet.”
During the interview, she revealed she had welcomed a daughter when she opened up on what she hoped to pass onto her in the future.
Jessie added: “I think the thing I can hope to impart to her, and I’m sure she’s going to go on her whole own trajectory, and she should, is we have one life.
“There’s always going to be things in our life that are going to make us doubt or be afraid or feel like it would be safer to be smaller in some way.
“And I see this little life that’s so new but so full and so untarnished by an idea or a projection of what we’re supposed to be. And I just hope that if I can pass anything onto her in the way that my mother’s has passed on to me is that all the parts of you are not too much.
“The world needs all of you, and that means incubating the struggles, is like living through the struggles, the shadows.
“The things that are going to challenge you, you have to metabolize it and incubate it. And there’s no too-muchness. It’s only to be lived fully.”
Jessie is notoriously private about her personal life and rarely discusses her life outside of acting.
She is understood to have got married in 2022 to a mystery man known only as Freddie.
According to reports he is a North London based mental health professional.
They are understood to divide their time equally between plush homes in London and Norfolk.
