🍼🌟 “Blessed Be the Bump: Elisabeth Moss and Husband Expecting Their First Child”
LOS ANGELES — The Handmaid’s Tale star Elisabeth Moss is about to step into a brand-new role — motherhood.
In a joyful and unexpected announcement that lit up social media on Wednesday, the Emmy-winning actress and her husband, screenwriter Daniel Porter (fictional name), revealed that they are expecting their first child together.
“A new chapter begins,” Moss captioned a sweet black-and-white Instagram photo showing the couple holding a tiny pair of baby socks between them, her growing bump just visible under a flowing knit dress.
The post was quickly flooded with messages of congratulations from fans, friends, and fellow actors. Handmaid’s Tale co-stars like Samira Wiley and Ann Dowd were among the first to comment, with Dowd writing, “Now that’s a blessed day. Over the moon for you, Lizzy.”
🤍 A Private Love Story Turned Public Joy
Moss, 42, has famously kept her personal life low-key, but insiders say the couple have been “quietly over the moon” since finding out the news earlier this year.
“Elisabeth has always poured herself into her work, but family has remained close to her heart,” a close friend shared. “She and Daniel are ecstatic.”
The couple reportedly met in 2021 at an industry event and tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2023.
🎬 What’s Next for Moss?
While Moss has been filming the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale, sources close to the production say that accommodations have been made for her pregnancy — and that she’s been “glowing on set.”
“June Osborne has fought battles in Gilead — now Elisabeth is preparing for one of life’s greatest adventures,” a crew member shared.
Fans have speculated that her pregnancy may even influence future projects, with many hoping to see her step into more directorial or production roles to allow for more family time.
💬 A Quiet Joy, Loudly Celebrated
Known for her emotional depth and fierce performances, Moss’s transition into motherhood is being celebrated by fans around the world — many of whom feel a deep connection to her powerful portrayals of womanhood, resilience, and strength.
“After all the hardship she portrays on-screen, it’s so beautiful to see Elisabeth embracing something so joyful in real life,” one fan commented online.
Whether she’s taking on dystopian regimes or diaper duty, one thing is clear — Elisabeth Moss is ready for her most meaningful role yet.
