Elisabeth Moss CONFIRMS she is pregnant with first child on Jimmy Kimmel Live: ‘It’s been going really well’

Elisabeth Moss confirmed that she is pregnant with her first child.

The 41-year-old Emmy Award-winning actress – who showcased her baby bump on set earlier that day – appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!  on Tuesday’s episode with full bump in tow.

The 56-year-old chat show host got quick to the point as his first question was: ‘Are you pregnant or just an incredibly committed method actor?’

Elisabeth responded: ‘A little bit of both.’

She opened up about her pregnancy journey as Jimmy asked her how she has been feeling.

Earlier in the day the talented actress fueled more pregnancy rumors while on set of her new thriller Shell this week in LA, amid growing speculation that she is expecting her first child

The Handmaid’s Tale actress said: ‘Not bad, actually. I’ve been really lucky. It’s been going really well.’

As Elisabeth is private about her personal life, it is unknown who the father of the child is and her due date is yet to be revealed.

The actress did ask the chat show host if he has any advice for her in regards to being a new parent as Jimmy said that the best advice his wife Molly McNearney got before welcoming one of their children actually came from comedy legend Bill Murray, 73.

The chat show host explained: ‘He said bring Christmas lights to hang up [in the delivery room].

‘Because the lighting is terrible in the room. It’s Walmart-style lighting for this blessed event that’s going to happen and you don’t want that.’

Elisabeth was receptive to the advice as she replied: ‘I think that’s a really good list, I like that.’

Moss looked comfortable while on set as she was seated next to Max Minghella, 38, who is directing the film.

The pair, who have worked together on the television series The Handmaid’s Tale since 2017, chatted away as she kicked her feet during a break from filming in Los Angeles. 

She appeared in high spirits while getting glammed up as a makeup artist touched up her foundation with an orange makeup sponge as she reclined in a lounge chair. 

For the scene, her shoulder-length blonde tresses were styled in loose waves that cascaded straight down her back. 

Before her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, no announcement had been made by Moss about whether she is expecting a child.

In 2022, Moss told Daily Mail’s YOU that she wants children and that her mom, Linda, inspired her.

‘I definitely want to have kids because I’ve been very inspired by the kind of mother my mom is. She did a beautiful thing with me,’ she gushed.

Moss then joked that, once her own child is born, she’ll pass them off to her mom.

She was seen arriving to the studio earlier in the day

‘And then I’ll give the child to my mum and she can raise it because she’d do it very well!’

In a 2018 interview with Marie Claire, Moss said she was initially hesitant about motherhood but came around to the idea as she got older.

‘It’s not for everybody, and I didn’t know if it was going to be for me, but lately, I think it is,’ she told the publication.

‘I have no idea how I want to do it though or what the plan is.’

Moss is very private when it comes to her love life as she’s only gone public with two relationships in the past.

She met the Saturday Night Live star in 2008 while her Mad Men co-star Jon Hamm hosted the sketch comedy show.

At the time, Moss was 26 and Armisen was 42.

She was previously married to comedian Fred Armisen, 57, which she told Vulture was a ‘traumatic’ and ‘horrible’ experience; the two are seen in Washington, DC back in May 2010

They wed in October 2009 but they separated eight months later.

Moss officially filed for divorce in September 2010 citing irreconcilable differences.

Their divorce was finalized in May 2011.

She said she’s relieved she never started a family with Armisen.

‘I’m glad that I’m not there. I’m glad that it didn’t happen when I was 50. I’m glad I didn’t have kids,’ the LA native said.

‘And I got that out of the way. Hopefully. Like, that’s probably not going to happen again.’

In 2012, Moss moved on with Australian cinematographer Adam Arkapaw after meeting on the New Zealand set of the mini-series Top of the Lake.

The relationship was confirmed by DailyMail.com at the time.

Moss and Arkapaw dated for three years before splitting in 2015.

Over the years, Moss has been spotted on dates with ‘mystery men’ but she’s yet to go public with another serious relationship.

In 2020, she was forced to shoot down a wild rumor about herself and fellow Scientologist Tom Cruise after a tabloid accused them of being secretly engaged.

Speaking to Marie Claire, Moss said that finding the time to date is ‘difficult’ due to her hectic work schedule.

She also revealed that she hasn’t written off the possibility of getting married again.

‘I have nothing against getting married again, but what I value even more now is the relationship itself,’ Moss said.

‘It’s been eight years [since divorcing Armisen]. I’m older, and hopefully wiser. I’m a romantic, so I love weddings, but I also don’t think you need (a wedding) to have a long-lasting, healthy relationship.

‘Some of the relationships I know that have lasted the longest are the ones that didn’t [get married].’

The actress was on the ABC talk show on Tuesday to promote her upcoming spy miniseries The Veil.

She portrays a British spy in the series coming to Hulu and shared with Jimmy that she broke a vertebra in her back while filming in Istanbul.

Elisabeth said on the first take of an action scene that she broke her back and six weeks later she filmed the scene again.

She went to the hospital, learned of her fracture and still filmed the next day.

Elisabeth said they went to Paris next and she gushed about the French doctor who checked on her after driving up on a motorcycle and smelling like cigarettes.

‘He sort of poked around and decided that it was fine for me to keep shooting,’ Elisabeth said laughing.

Elisabeth also revealed that she will resume filming this summer for the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale.
