In a heartwarming moment that stole the show at this year's Welsh BAFTA ceremony, actress Erin Richards proudly revealed she's expecting her second child. The Welsh-born star, celebrated for her portrayal of Barbara Kean in the hit series Gotham, made the announcement while presenting an award at the prestigious event in Cardiff.
A Glowing Announcement on Home Soil
Richards, who has also appeared in Netflix's The Crown, chose her native Wales as the perfect backdrop to share her joyful news. The 37-year-old actress looked radiant in an elegant black gown that subtly highlighted her growing baby bump as she took to the stage at the Wales Millennium Centre.
From Gotham City to Growing Family
Best known for her five-season run as Barbara Kean in the Batman prequel series Gotham, Richards has maintained a relatively private personal life. Her pregnancy revelation comes as delightful news to fans who have followed her career from Welsh productions to international television success.
The actress, who married director Chris Baugh in 2021, is already mother to their first child. Her decision to announce her second pregnancy at Wales' most prominent entertainment awards ceremony made for a particularly special homecoming celebration.
Continuing Success On and Off Screen
Beyond her iconic role in Gotham, Richards has built an impressive career spanning British and American television. Her appearance in The Crown as Duchess Sophie Rhys-Jones further cemented her status as a versatile performer capable of handling both comic book drama and historical precision.
As Richards continues to balance her acting career with family life, this pregnancy announcement marks an exciting new chapter for one of Wales' most successful acting exports.
