Samara Weaving, a fan favorite for starring in beloved horror films like The Babysitter and Ready or Not, and for appearing in the Scream franchise, is expecting her first baby with her husband, director and screenwriter Jimmy Warden.
The 33-year-old announced the news on Instagram on Tuesday. Weaving posted a series of shots, including snaps of her wearing a mesh lace shirt that accentuated her baby bump.
She shared a snap of herself mid-prep, rocking an updo and eye masks like a true multitasking pro. Draped in an open bathrobe that highlighted her baby bump, Weaving looked effortlessly chic. The post finished with a clever touch—delicious pastries arranged to spell out “Ready or Not 2,” a playful nod to her upcoming film (Ready or Not 2: Here I Come) hitting theaters next spring.
“Ready or Not: Here I Come,” she captioned the post.
