Jonathan Rhys Meyers and his fiancé Mara Lane are expecting their first baby together!
Mara has confirmed the news in a series of Instagram photos that she shared on Monday. The picture was appropriately festive, where she showed off her baby bump and compared it to Santa’s belly, captioning it: “#IncomingPackage best present. #ThankYouLord #SantaBelly.”
The couple have been together since January 2013 and have been rumoured to be engaged since December 2014. It was also rumoured that Jonathan and Mara have secretly gotten hitched in September after the Irish actor was seen wearing a gold band in a photoshoot.
Jonathan has had a history of alcohol addiction and shocked the public when he stumbled down a London street in May 2015, drinking vodka straight from the bottle. He has entered rehab three times between 2005-2010.
Mara is believed to be a positive influence on Jonathan as he has stayed sober since last year.
As for the baby, apparently it is “super conscious, connected and aware” and Mara has not been able to eat much meat through her pregnancy. Mara also revealed that she is already past her second trimester.
Congrats to the happy couple! We hope Jonathan continues on his journey to recovery, although we think that a baby boy or girl will really help!
