Karen Gillan is pregnant!

On Friday, September 6, the 36-year-old Guardians of the Galaxy The star debuted her baby bump on the red carpet at the premiere of her latest movie at the Toronto International Film Festival, Chuck’s life.

In photos from the event, Gillan can be seen smiling in a yellow dress as she attends the event at the Princess of Wales Theater alongside stars including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tom Hiddleston and Stephen King , holding her belly and smiling.

Gillan has been married to her husband Nick Kocher since May 2022 and announced the news of their marriage on social media last year. This will be the couple’s first child.

Represented by doctor who alum did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for more information on Saturday, September 7.

Gillan previously revealed that she met her husband through a “recommended friend list on Instagram” and secretly tied the knot with him in Castle Toward, Scotland, in May 2022. As she told Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos Live with Kelly and Mark In 2023, it is the “algorithm” that brings the two together.

Although Koch initially didn’t reply, Guillen eventually tracked him down on X (formerly Twitter) and messaged him privately there. “I sent him a private message on Twitter and said, ‘Hi, your tweets are really interesting. I’m Karen, by the way,'” she recalled to Ripa and Consuelos. “That’s not very interesting. I don’t really read his tweets.

The couple has kept their relationship relatively private over the years, but Koch still attends public events with Gillan, including the show’s premiere Catch 22 2019, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 2023 and 2024 Golden Globe Awards After-Parties.

In an April interview with People magazine, when asked “who went down first” in their relationship, Gillan admitted that she did “have her own way.”

“So I was like, ‘Wait a minute, I missed the part where I was kissed, so you need to do some work now.’ So I would say to him, even though I made the first move,” she said.

“It’s sad and has a slightly supernatural feel, but it’s also joyful and life-affirming,” the author writes. “Maybe not what you expected from me, but that’s what it is.”

The Toronto International Film Festival runs from September 5th to 15th.
