Meanwhile, the actress spilled more deets on her Substack, revealing that she and McInerney, whom she married in 2020, are currently crashing in the nursery while their master bedroom is under renovation. She also shared that a recent fabric shopping trip, inspired by a neighbor, has her crafting some adorable baby gifts.
“It made everything feel so real to peruse fabrics and picture which ones my baby might wear or what might go in their room,” McMann explained. “I also couldn’t believe what a lucky friend I was to have someone wanting to spend her time making something special for me? Well, not for me, but you know. Not totally unexpected, but having a baby is a really cool and emotional time, and to have people in your village respond so generously is kinda mind-blowing.”
