When the star announced that she was pregnant, she originally said the baby was due this month, so it seems the tiny tot made a slightly early arrival!

The couple started dating in 2016 after meeting on the set of the beloved BBC period drama when production took place in South Africa. The actress stars as Trixie Franklin in the beloved period drama, while Jack used to play Reverend Tom Hereward.
