MICHELLE Dockery revealed she and husband Jasper Waller-Bridge are expecting their first child as she stunned at the premiere for Downton Abbey: The Grand FInale.
The actress, 43, and movie producer Jasper, 37, looked loved-up as they walked the red carpet tonight at Odeon Luxe.
Michelle – who plays Lady Mary Crawley in Downton Abbey – showed off her blossoming baby bump in an off-the-shoulder floor-length blue gown.
Her dress featured a dramatic cape and Michelle wore her dark hair swept back.
Michelle and Jasper tied the knot in September 2023 in an intimate London ceremony after announcing their engagement in The Times.
The January 2022 announcement read: “The engagement is announced between Jasper, son of Michael Waller-Bridge of King’s Lynn, Norfolk, and Teresa Waller-Bridge of Battersea, London, and Michelle Dockery, younger daughter of Michael and Lorraine Dockery of Gidea Park, Essex.”
Michelle and Jasper got together four years after her fiancé John Dineen died from a rare form of cancer.
She previously spoke about losing John in 2015 following his illness.
Opening up in 2017, Michelle said: “I don’t have the vocabulary to describe what it felt like.
“And what it still feels like. It is… sorry, give me a minute. I’ve never been more committed to anything in my life than to him.
“So at the time everything just shut down. Work, everything. Work didn’t matter.
“You suddenly become an [oncological] expert. This stuff becomes your world, and that of course was my priority.”
