Accompanying the social media post was a visually stunning photograph of Ronan and Lowden sharing an embrace during what looked to be a calm, private moment amid the dying light of day in Venice at Piazza San Marco. The wet cobblestones reflected the faint glow of the yellow lights emanating from the historic building, emphasizing equally cinematic moments steeped in intimacy. One cannot be more dramatic than what the ambiance offered, suitable for two performing artists whose profession is rooted in beautifully telling stories through the lens of a camera.
At 30, Ronan is a four-time Oscar nominee, while Lowden, who has been in distinguished roles in Mary Queen of Scots and the Apple TV+ series Slow Horses, met and had been together since Mary Queen of Scots was shot in 2018. It’s been pretty low-profile, consisting of a handful of public appearances, less sharing with their personal life-an announcement about a baby is kind of a gem for their fans.
On the other hand, the news made an international splash across social media. One user said: “Cinema just gained a new heir,” almost sarcastic about the mixed feelings regarding these two entering parenthood. Others simply commented on the child’s luck: “That child has won the genes lottery :),” which many seemed to share acknowledgment for as two generations of esteemed and credited performers stand for the future parents.
Several comments focused on the couple’s roles in Slow Horses. One cheeky fan predicted: “slow horses heir he’s gonna be a spy,” referring to Lowden’s part in the espionage thriller. Another joins this craze, “Congratulations! Like them both. Can’t wait for the new season of Slow Horses,” calling out the couple and show.
More speculations followed: “Their baby is gonna be a generational talent in the future,” suggested one, with a nod to Black Widow, perhaps, following in great footsteps.
The responses ran with the humor; someone said, “I happened to think they were Johnny Depp and Amber Heard 😅,” which set off another round of giggles. International well-wishes poured forth in translated forms, including an Italian comment, “That’s why she seemed noticeably heavier. Good!” referencing Ronan’s pregnancy.
The overall selfies reflect gratitude for the couple. “Love this for them wishing them all the happiness on this parenthood journey,” expressed another, going along with most of the Tweets. Another said, “Wonderful news, congratulations to them! 💕👶✨,” with two heart emojis and one baby emoji as an expression of joy for the occasion.
