Former child star Dakota Fanning has been impressing us on the big screen for years with her unforgettable roles in movies like The Cat in the Hat, Uptown Girls, the Twilight Saga series, and Effie Gray.
Recently, Dakota starred in the Netflix show The Perfect Couple alongside Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber.
However, in the series, she’s expecting a baby. She portrays Abby Winbury, a character consumed by money, who is married to Thomas Winbury.
There has been several speculations surrounding pictures of Dakota with a baby bump and her being pregnant in the series.
Is Dakota Fanning really pregnant?
Dakota isn’t pregnant in real life. A quick look at her Instagram feed confirms this.
In July 2024, she was seen at the Saks Summer Dinner in the Hamptons without a baby bump in sight.
Although her baby bump in the series looks incredibly authentic, it’s just movie magic.
The filming happened in 2023, so technically, she could have had the baby already, but there’s been no news hinting that she’s a mom.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Dakota wearing a fake baby bump.
Back in 2013, she was spotted with one on the set of Franny.
Dakota’s recent comment in an interview with PORTER further affirms that she’s not expecting.
She said, “Having kids is probably more important to me than anything, even being an actor. If somebody said I had to choose, I would choose having kids. I’m one of those people who has always felt that pull.”
However, Dakota hasn’t disclosed when she plans to start her own family.
Is Dakota Fanning married?
Dakota, who celebrated her 30th birthday on Feb. 23, 2024, doesn’t seem to be married.
Her most recent known relationship was with Henry Frye.
They were first seen together in 2017 and were linked until at least 2021.
However, Dakota’s social media doesn’t show recent romantic photos, leaving us unsure if she’s still with Henry, has moved on, or is single.
Before Henry, Dakota dated Logan Markley, a commercial real estate broker, and was also involved with British model Jamie Strachan.
Dakota and Jamie were seen holding hands in 2013 and reportedly parted ways two years later. Following Jamie was Logan, whom Dakota had known since high school.
Considering Dakota’s secretive nature about her love life, it wouldn’t be surprising if she kept a pregnancy hidden, similar to Halle Bailey, until the baby’s arrival.
