Elisabeth Moss, the acclaimed star of the hit TV series “The Handmaid’s Tale,” is expecting her first child in real life. The Emmy Award-winning actress shared the news during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show, proudly displaying her baby bump for all to see.
The conversation between Moss and Kimmel started off with a playful tone, with Kimmel jokingly asking if Moss was pregnant or merely committed to her role as a method actor. Moss responded with a laugh, admitting that it was a little bit of both and confirming that she is indeed pregnant. She also mentioned that the process has been going well so far.
Curious about her experiences as a soon-to-be mother, Moss sought advice from Kimmel, who has four children of his own. Kimmel, known for his humorous banter, made a joke about his TV sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez being his fifth child before sharing some words of wisdom with Moss.
According to Kimmel, actor Bill Murray once advised his wife, Molly McNearney, to bring Christmas lights or beads to hang in the delivery room. He also suggested having a night light and playing music to create a comforting atmosphere. While Murray recommended burning candles, Kimmel opted for battery-powered ones to avoid any mishaps with the oxygen in the room.
Moss seemed open to these ideas, finding the concept of a candlelit atmosphere during childbirth romantic. Kimmel agreed, expressing his preference for a more intimate and cozy setting compared to the usual bright lights found in delivery rooms.
Although Moss didn’t reveal any further details about her pregnancy, fans of the actress were delighted to hear the news. Moss, who was previously married to comedian Fred Armisen, has gained widespread acclaim for her portrayal of June Osborne in the dystopian drama “The Handmaid’s Tale.” She has won two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her performance in the show.
As Moss embarks on this new chapter of her life, fans eagerly await updates and send their best wishes to the actress and her growing family.
