Marvel star Sebastian Stan is officially entering a new chapter. The 43-year-old actor and his longtime girlfriend, actress Annabelle Wallis, are expecting their first child together. The news marks a major personal milestone for the couple, who have remained famously private throughout their four-year relationship.
Sources with direct knowledge tell news outlets that the pair are “thrilled” to be starting a family. While the pregnancy has been confirmed, further details, including the baby’s sex and the expected due date are currently being kept under wraps. Shortly after the news broke, Stan was spotted in New York City walking his dogs, Zeus and Apollo, appearing relaxed in a denim jacket and trucker hat as fans flooded social media with congratulatory messages.
Stan and Wallis, 41, were first linked in May 2022 after being spotted together at a birthday party for Robert Pattinson. Since then, they have rarely discussed their romance in interviews, with Stan previously telling Vanity Fair that he finds it difficult to maintain privacy in the modern era. Despite their low-key approach, they have made occasional public appearances, including a red-carpet debut at the 2025 Golden Globes, where Stan won Best Actor in a Limited Series.
The timing of the pregnancy coincides with a particularly demanding professional stretch for both actors. Stan is currently preparing for a massive year in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as he is set to return as Bucky Barnes in the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday. He is also starring in the upcoming drama film Fjord.
Wallis, best known for her role as Grace Burgess in Peaky Blinders, is equally busy. She is slated to star alongside Jason Statham in the action thriller Mutiny, arriving in theaters this August, and will appear in the Netflix series Unabomb.
While representatives for both stars have not yet issued a formal public statement, insiders suggest the couple is balancing their heavy production schedules with preparations for the baby’s arrival. This will be the first child for both Stan and Wallis, making them the latest high-profile Hollywood couple to embrace parenthood in 2026.
