Ready or Not star Samara Weaving is expecting her first child with screenwriter husband Jimmy Warden, revealing the news in an Instagram carousel showcasing her baby bump and standout press-tour looks.

Samara Weaving picked a very on-the-nose way to share some big news: she and her husband, screenwriter Jimmy Warden, are having a baby. She made it Instagram official with a bump reveal and a wink to the movie that made her a scream queen.

The announcement

'Ready or Not: Here I Come'

That was the caption, complete with a baby emoji for emphasis. The post was a carousel: a clear bump shot, a handful of press-tour looks, one sheer lace top that made the pregnancy impossible to miss, and a cozy pre-glam robe moment. Simple, effective, very her.

  • Reactions rolled in fast. A friend went with: 'Sexiest pregnant lady ever.' Modern Family alum Sarah Hyland chimed in: 'BABEEEEEE ???' One fan summed up the vibe: 'Whaaaaattttt? Congrats Sam... so happy for you guys.' Another added: 'SAMARA!!!! Congratulations mama!!!' with a pink heart emoji.

The timing tracks with her current promo push, including the Ready or Not sequel chatter. Feels like the perfect full-circle caption for that alone.

How they juggle the jobs (and the distance)

Weaving, 33, and Warden have teamed up on projects before, and they have a standing rule for when work sends them to different sets. As she told People, they try not to let more than two and a half or three weeks go by without seeing each other. He joked that if they stretch it longer, 'we get weird,' which is both relatable and a good reminder to book the flight.

The non-wedding wedding

If you were waiting for photos from a big ceremony, there aren’t any. They got legally married, then the pandemic hit, and the actual celebration never happened. As Weaving puts it: 'We never actually had a wedding.' Warden laughs it off by saying they basically celebrated by making a movie together instead, so their 'wedding' lives on film. Not traditional, but honestly kind of fitting for them.

Bottom line: new baby on the way, work still rolling, and yes, Samara Weaving managed to turn her pregnancy announcement into a clever movie reference. No notes.
