In an interview with the Smartless podcast, Claire Danes spoke about the shock of becoming pregnant with her third child at 44. The actress from “The Beast in Me” told Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett that she never imagined it could happen because of her age.
“I was already quite old when it happened,” she said. “I did not anticipate this at all.”
Danes, now 46, shared that she and her husband, actor Hugh Dancy, already parents to two boys, were surprised by the unexpected “blessing.” According to her, discovering the pregnancy brought a mix of emotions.
“It was strange. Suddenly I felt a kind of funny embarrassment,” she explained. “As if I had discovered a limit I wasn’t fully aware of, as if I was pushing the parameters a bit. It was wild.”
Danes confirmed to the hosts that she had a girl and expressed her joy at having a daughter after two boys: “Yes, she’s really cool,” she said, adding that she “loves a tutu.”
Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy met on the set of the film “Evening” in 2006 and have been married since 2009. They are parents to Cyrus, born in December 2012, Rowan, born in August 2018, and a daughter born in July 2023, whose name has not been publicly revealed.
