Acclaimed actress Alexandra Daddario, known for her roles in The White Lotus and Baywatch, has joyfully announced her pregnancy with her first child. Daddario shared the news via her Instagram and an exclusive profile in Vogue, revealing a deeply personal journey marked by previous pregnancy loss.
In her candid interview, Daddario described the earlier experience as “long and complicated,” shedding light on the emotional and physical toll it took. “Those kinds of losses and trauma are very hard to explain unless you’ve been through them. I really relate to all the women who have been through those kinds of things in a way that I didn’t understand fully before. It’s very, very painful,” she shared.
Despite the challenges, Daddario expressed her gratitude for her current pregnancy, though she admitted it had been difficult to process initially. “I feel like now that I’m pregnant, and it’s all successful, and everything’s healthy, I shouldn’t complain,” she said. “But you have a lot of complicated feelings.”
Balancing her professional commitments with her pregnancy, Daddario found solace in her work. “I was so overwhelmed with work. Part of me was like, ‘This is the worst thing ever.’ Then part of me was like, ‘This is actually a great distraction’ because I’m not sitting there all day long in my house going, ‘If I pick up this pot to make pasta, is something bad going to happen? If I eat this pasta, is something bad going to happen?’”
On Instagram, Daddario humorously referenced the recent celebrity baby boom, writing, “Excited for my child to go to pre-school with Margot Robbie and Hailey Bieber’s kids.”
Alexandra Daddario and her husband, producer Andrew Form, tied the knot in 2021. The couple’s announcement has been met with an outpouring of support from fans and peers alike.
