TV star Eleanor Tomlinson has announced she is expecting her first child with husband Will Owen.
The 32-year-old actress, who rose to prominence thanks to her career-making turn as Demelza in the hit BBC historical dramas series Poldark, shared the news on Instagram on Sunday.
‘Can’t wait to meet you, little one,’ she wrote alongside a black and white photograph of a babygrow emblazoned with ‘Baby Owen’.
She laid out a matching pair of little newborn booties and a hat with bear ears alongside it.
One Day star Eleanor tied the knot with her rugby player husband Will, who also works as a personal trainer, in 2022.
Several pals rushed to send their congratulations to the couple, including Bridgerton actress Nicola Coughlan and former Strictly Come Dancing champion Rose Ayling-Ellis.
‘Ahhhh congratulations darling!’ posted Outlander and Victoria actress Nell Hudson, while Downton Abbey: A New Era star Laura Haddock commented: ‘Eeeekkkkk 💛💛💛’
Other also sent their best wishes.
‘Congratulations on your news, this is the best thing I’ve heard all day,’ wrote Colleen Proudlock, while Irene Hall added: ‘Congratulations to you both ❤️❤️❤️. Lovely to meet you both on Wednesday after the play.’
Eleanor, who also plays influencer Gabby in Stephen Merchant’s comedy show The Outlaws, is currently treading the boards at the Bristol Old Vic in Matthew López’s play Reverberation, alongside stage actor Michael Ahomka-Lindsay.
She and husband Will, 29, keep their private life under wraps and are seldom seen together in public or pictured on red carpets.
To mark their second anniversary in July, Eleanor did share a black and white slow-motion clip of her twirling into her husband’s arms on their wedding day.
The actress also joined her in-laws to cheer Will on at a match in Bristol last September as he played for rugby union team Clifton Rugby.
