It has been formally disclosed that Vanessa Kirby, aged 37, is expecting her first child. This revelation was made apparent during her public appearance at a promotional photocall for The Fantastic Four, held in Mexico on Saturday, where she was visibly pregnant.
Vanessa Kirby appeared at the Comic Con Experience in Mexico attired in an elegant blue gown, during which she was observed gently placing a hand on her abdomen, further affirming the news of her pregnancy.
It was previously reported in December that Ms. Kirby had become engaged to her long-term partner, Mr. Paul Rabil, aged 39, following a two-year relationship. According to sources cited by Page Six, Mr. Rabil had proposed marriage, and the couple was allegedly preparing to formalize their union.
At the time of reporting, representatives for both Ms. Kirby and Mr. Rabil were contacted by MailOnline for official comment.
Ms. Kirby was accompanied by co-stars Joseph Quinn, Pedro Pascal, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach at the 2025 Comic Con Experience (CCXP) in Mexico, where the ensemble appeared to promote their forthcoming feature film.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is an upcoming American motion picture based on the Marvel Comics superhero team, the Fantastic Four. The film, produced by Marvel Studios, is slated to be the 37th installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and constitutes the franchise’s second cinematic reboot of the titular team.
Directed by Matt Shakman, the film features Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach in the leading roles. The narrative is set in a retro-futuristic universe reminiscent of the 1960s and follows the Fantastic Four as they endeavor to defend their world from Galactus, a cosmic entity known for consuming planets.
With respect to her personal life, Ms. Kirby and Mr. Paul Rabil were first publicly linked in October 2022, when they were observed walking together in New York City. Notwithstanding earlier speculation, the couple did not confirm their relationship on social media until November 2023.#newsafro_
