Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix are going to become parents for the second time very soon. The American actress surprised those present at the 74th edition of the Berlin International Film Festival by proudly showing off her maternity curves in an elegant black Givenchy design.
Caressing her tummy, the 38-year-old actress walked the red carpet at the Berlinale without being able to hide her state of good hope, but neither could she smile because of the excitement with which she awaits the arrival of what will be her second child alongside the Oscar winner. actor, 49 years old.
The actress was presenting The Kitchen, her latest film, at the festival, and appeared showing her new status, which only those closest to her were aware of. The couple of actors are known for their extreme discretion, especially in their private lives, and little is known about them in that sense, since they do not have profiles nor are they active on social networks.
Both have limited their appearances together, and even before starting her romance with Phoenix, Rooney Mara was a mystery. The actress, little sister of fellow performer Kate Mara, has always limited herself to doing her job and reclusive as soon as possible.
Shy, perceived as very serious, unattainable and almost always dressed in black, Rooney Mara seems to be the perfect partner for Joaquin Phoenix. The couple met filming Her, by Spike Jonze, in 2012; but their romance officially began filming Mary Magdalene, by Garth Davies. "She's the only girl I've ever looked up on the Internet," Phoenix said in an interview in Vanity Fair.
The couple got engaged in 2019 and in 2020 welcomed their first child, River, whose name was revealed by director Victor Kossakovsky at the Zurich Film Festival after a screening of the film Gunda, of which Phoenix was executive producer.
Very wary of their privacy, the actors did not officially announce the birth of their first-born and are rarely seen. However, the actor seemed more relaxed after winning his Oscar for Joker (2020), just as Mara is more comfortable in front of the cameras showing her pregnancy during the Berlinale. Of course, more details about when she will give birth or the sex of the baby, only they know.
