British actress Sienna Miller, 43, shared joyous personal news on Monday night, announcing she is expecting her third child while attending the star-studded Fashion Awards in London.
A Glowing Announcement on the Red Carpet
The actress, who looked radiant, debuted her baby bump on the red carpet at the prestigious event. She wore a sheer lilac lace dress, with her makeup expertly applied by the renowned artist Charlotte Tilbury. Miller was accompanied by her partner, actor and model Oli Green, 28, with whom she has been in a relationship since 2021. The couple, who welcomed their first child together in late 2023, put on a loved-up display as they prepare to become parents for a second time together.
Sienna Miller also has a twelve-year-old daughter, Marlowe, from her previous relationship with ex-fiancé Tom Sturridge. Her announcement comes at a time when her professional life is experiencing a significant and celebrated resurgence.
Career Renaissance in Full Swing
After breakthrough roles over twenty years ago in films like Layer Cake and Alfie, Miller's career trajectory has seen a remarkable upswing in 2024. Last summer, just five months after giving birth, she was a standout at the Cannes Film Festival, promoting Kevin Costner's western epic, Horizon: An American Saga.
Her performance in the film was widely praised by critics, serving as one of the project's few critical high points amidst mixed reviews. Time magazine notably called Miller 'far and away the best thing' about the film, and reviewers highlighted her 'impeccable American accent' in her portrayal of Frances Kittredge.
Building on this momentum, Miller has since been filming a new legal thriller series titled War alongside Dominic West. The series centres on a scandal-filled divorce case between a tech titan (West) and a film star (Miller), and anticipation for its release is already building among fans.
Embracing Motherhood with Renewed Joy
The actress has spoken openly about her contrasting experiences of motherhood. After the birth of her first daughter, Marlowe, in 2012, Miller described feeling 'overwhelmed' and being in 'absolute hell', following a traumatic 27-hour labour that ended in an urgent caesarean. She admitted to feeling she had 'failed' the initial stages of parenthood by not being in a 'blissful little bubble'.
However, her experience welcoming her second child with Oli Green in 2023 was profoundly different. She has described it as 'cathartic' and 'healing', and feels she is now a 'better' and more 'grounded' mother. This new chapter of expanding her family appears to be filled with a fresh sense of joy and confidence.
Brand and culture expert Nick Ede recently told the Daily Mail that Miller's years of being 'bypassed' for major roles may be over, suggesting she is 'back and stealing the crown to become the UK's biggest Hollywood star.'
When not working, Miller maintains her famously youthful looks with a regimen that includes yoga three times a week and a home-cooking focus, though she jokes her diet leans more towards 'fried eggs and Marmite toast' than health-food trends. She has been positively glowing since finding love with Green, whom she has praised for belonging to a generation with less 'ingrained misogyny' than older men.
