Actress Lashana Lynch is going to be a mom! The Bob Marley: One Love star and her husband Zachary Momoh are expecting their first baby together. The actress revealed the news by debuting her baby bump on the red carpet.

During the New York City premiere of her latest TV series The Day of the Jackal, which premieres on Peacock on November 14th, Lashana stepped onto the red carpet with her growing baby bump on display. The actress wore an Ottolinger sleeveless dress that featured side cutouts. The print on the dress included a t-shirt and tie as well as a leopard print. The actress’s co-stars for the series – Eddie Redmayne and Ursula Corbero – appeared to be just as shocked with Lashana’s baby bump, a sign they likely didn’t know prior to the event.

In an interview with Vogue at the premiere, The Woman King star shared of her look, “I wanted to keep the look really simple, poignant and effective. I feel comfortable and at ease, but also in charge of myself. Some red carpet gowns, although beautiful and stunning, feel like you’re putting on a different part of yourself, whereas here I feel like I’m celebrating the female figure.”

No further details about Lashana’s pregnancy have been shared, including her due date. The actress, who doesn’t have a presence on social media, is known for being a very private person. The Marvels star spoke with Interview in December 2022 about keeping her circle small. “I’m very discerning about the people that I have in my life. I have 2.5 friends and it will probably stay that way forever. And everyone I have in my life respects and honors who I am at my core. They bring out my higher self and remind me of what’s important at every single moment. I feel loved in my soul, and sometimes you don’t get that. Some people don’t get to feel it in a whole lifetime.”

Congratulations to Lashana and Zachary on the news of their first baby!
