Elisabeth Moss is pregnant with her first child! On Tuesday night (January 30th), The Handmaid's Tale star announced the exciting news during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! After host Jimmy Kimmel asked, "Are you pregnant or just an incredibly committed method actor?" Moss responded, "A little bit of both."
"It's been going really well," Moss told Kimmel, adding that she's been "really lucky" amid her pregnancy journey. She went on to ask the host, who has four children, for some advice. Kimmel decided to share a piece of advice he and his wife Molly McNearey received from actor Bill Murray.
"He said, 'Bring Christmas lights to hang up [in the delivery room].' Because the lighting is terrible in the room,” Kimmel said. “It's Walmart-style lighting for this blessed event that's going to happen and you don't want that."
Moss didn't share how far along she is in her pregnancy journey before moving along in the interview. The show posted the reveal to their Instagram account and fans flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages. One fan asked, "Is that why we’ve had to wait so long for the next Season of The Handmaids??? Love her btw❤️😍"
