Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix and actress Rooney Mara are reportedly expecting their first child together, a source confirmed news agency Page Six yesterday, May 18.

According to the source, the couple has been keeping a low profile during the pandemic and has been quarantining at their home in Los Angeles.

The two have yet to confirm the pregnancy.

Lately, some Twitter users have speculated about Rooney Mara's pregnancy pointing out her baggy clothes as evidence. Some even mentioned that she may be six months pregnant.

Here are some fans' reactions over the news:

Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara originally met while filming the movie Her, in which Joaquin played a man in love with an operating system while Rooney played his ex-wife.

Eventually, they began a budding romance after filming the movie Mary Magdalene in which he played Jesus and she starred as Mary Magdalene. They then moved in together to a home in Hollywood hills.

In an interview for Vanity Fair, Joaquin confessed that he was convinced she despised him but later determined his crush on her was mutual.

The pair went on to become “email friends” as stated by Joaquin in the interview.

He said, “She's the only girl I ever looked up on the internet. We were just friends, email friends. I'd never done that --- never looked up a girl online.”

By July 2019, the two became engaged after Rooney was spotted wearing an engagement ring.

Congratulations to the couple on the exciting baby news.
