Karen Gillan Reveals She’s Pregnant with Her First Child as She Debuts Baby Bump at TIFF Premiere

Speaking with PEOPLE in April, when asked “who fell first” in their relationship, Gillan admitted she did “go in for the kill.”

“So I then was like, ‘Wait, I missed the part where I get kissed, so you’re gonna need to put some work in now.’ So I would say him, even though I made the first move,” she said.

Gillan’s latest film The Life of Chuck — which also features appearances from Mia Sara, Carl Lumbly, Benjamin Pajak, Jacob Tremblay and Mark Hamill — is an adaption of a Stephen King novella from 2020. On his X account, King described it as “one of the good ones.”

“It’s sad, has a touch of the paranormal, but it’s also joyful and life-affirming,” the author wrote. “Maybe not what you’d expect from me, but there ya go.”

The Toronto International Film Festival runs Sept. 5–15.
