The baby will be the first for Rhys and the third for Russell, who is already mother to son River Deary, eight, and four-year-old daughter Willa Deary, whom she had with ex-husband Shane Deary. The couple were married for seven years before they split in 2013.
“I like working hard, but my life outside of my career is equally important to me,” Russell told Parade magazine in 2013. “You instantly become less selfish [when you’re a mother]. You can’t be the biggest person in the world anymore — they are. It really grounds you.”
Keri Russell met Rhys on the set of their FX series, co-starring as Elizabeth and Philip Jennings, and went public with their romance in April 2014.
“Matthew is really in love,” a source told Us Weekly on Wednesday. “They feel they should have always been together.”
