Vanessa Kirby is currently gearing up for The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ July release, while also preparing to welcome her first child into the world. The 37-year-old actress confirmed that she is pregnant at a recent event promoting First Steps.
Marvel Star Vanessa Kirby announces pregnancy at Fantastic Four panel event
Vanessa Kirby confirmed her pregnancy while attending The Fantastic Four: First Steps panel at the CCXPMX Film Festival in Mexico City on May 31, 2025. The Mission: Impossible actress’ baby bump could be seen in pictures of her taken at the event. For the event, Kirby donned a shiny blue Schiaparelli dress and black sandals.
However, further details about the actress’ pregnancy are unknown. This is because neither the actress nor her representatives have shared more information about it as of this writing.
Interestingly, Kirby’s real-life pregnancy imitates her reel-life pregnancy in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. In the film, Kirby’s Sue Storm will be shown pregnant with her and Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards’ son Franklin Richards.
Kirby is currently romantically involved with Paul Rabil, a retired lacrosse player. The pair’s dating rumors started surfacing in October 2022, following a New York City outing.
Rabil eventually confirmed their relationship via Instagram in November 2023. He shared a series of photos accompanied by a heartwarming caption. The caption read, “from the very minute we first met in des moines, around the world and back, life is far better, more purposeful and more beautiful with you.”
Later, in December 2024, Page Six reported that the couple had gotten engaged. However, neither Kirby nor Rabil has confirmed their engagement.
Recently, in April 2025, Kirby shared a series of photos on Instagram documenting her romantic vacation in the West Indies alongside Rabil. She captioned the post, “What a beautiful time away to stop for a second to appreciate the people you most love.”
After July 2025’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Kirby’s Invisible Woman will be seen in 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday.
