Aisling Bea on her ‘secret’ pregnancy
The 41-year-old comic is currently in a relationship with musician Jack Freeman. He is one-third of the Australian band Jagwar Ma. The pair announced they were expecting their first child in June 2024.
Despite an in-demand career, Aisling managed to keep the majority of her pregnancy a secret. By June, she was around seven months pregnant as she showed off her growing bump on stage at the Big Slick Kansas City event.
While filming Who Do You Think You Are?, Aisling joked with her Instagram followers that she was “borderline uninsurable at 37 weeks pregnant”.
In August, she gave birth and later appeared on ITV’s Lorraine to explain why she decided to keep her pregnancy under wraps. However, in the same interview, she let slip if she had a boy or girl.
Aisling welcomes baby daughter
“She’s the best that there’s ever been,”, Aisling declared, revealing she had a baby girl.
She continued: “I was trying to keep it a secret. And I got away with it for a while to one of those pesky kids.”
“I think especially when a lot of your life, you talk about a lot of your life in public, it’s like keeping something a little bit precious yourself that’s private and getting your head around.”
As of this writing, Aisling and Jack haven’t revealed the name of their daughter.
