Game of Thrones star drops baby news during TV interview

Homeland star Claire Danes is expecting her third child with husband Hugh Dancy.

Danes and her Hannibal actor husband, 47, have been married since 2009, and share sons Cyrus, 10, and Rowan, four.

People has confirmed the news, noting that Danes, who is 43, has previously raved about her children and the experience of being a mother.

“Motherhood is amazing,” Danes told People in 2020.

In 2018, she shed light on how she’d changed her approach to her pregnancy journey for her second child.

“Pretty soon I get to retire for a little while and just be pregnant, which I look forward to,” Danes told People at the time.

“When I was pregnant with my first son, I worked until I was in my eighth month, so this feels like a huge gift, to have a chance to kick my feet up a little bit.”

Dancy, who is naturally quite private about his life, told The Evening Standard in 2013, “[In my spare time] I change nappies.”

He told an American magazine. “It’s a new world and a wonderful one. It’s finding ways to also live our life as a family and not be completely overwhelmed by keeping this tiny creature alive, and cooking a normal dinner. Simple stuff.”
