Downton Abbey fans, send your love to Joanne Froggatt as she is pregnant with her first child!
The beloved British actress, 43, made the surprise revelation on Monday during an appearance at the 2024 Into Film Awards.
There’s no better way to announce that you’re pregnant than debuting a baby bump on the red carpet! Right Beyoncé, Rihanna, Vanessa Hudgens, Mindy Kaling ….

Joanne Froggatt pregnant: ‘Downton Abbey’ star expecting first child
They say a picture is worth 1,000 words, and Joanne, who plays Anna Bates in the Downton Abbey franchise, allowed photographers to capture the moment she announced her first pregnancy.
Without saying a single word! Instead, she cradled her visible baby bump while posing on the carpet in a red dress! How sweet!
For now, Joanne hasn’t made any official announcement yet, so we still don’t know the gender, due date or any other details.
To be honest, we don’t even know who the father is. Although she was previously married to James Cannon, Joanne announced that she and the IT consultant had ended their marriage in 2020.
Since then, there has been no one serious in her life, although a mysterious man has been spotted in her orbit. But honestly, it could be anyone!

A busy time for the ‘Downton’ star
Although being pregnant is truly a blessing, Joanne is a little busy at the moment.
Filming is currently underway for the third Downton Abbey film in the UK. Almost all of the original stars are expected to return, including Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Laura Carmichael, Jim Carter, Phyllis Logan, Allen Leech and Joanne.
In fact, the cast is even growing! It was announced this week that Dragon HouseSimon star Russell Beale is joining this time, as are Joely Richardson, Alessandro Nivola and Paul Giamatti, who is actually reprising his role from the TV series as Cora’s (Elizabeth McGovern) brother, Harold Levinson.
I wonder if the writers will include Joanne’s pregnancy in the story!
