Greta Gerwig revealed some exciting news on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, December 1. The actress and director revealed that she and boyfriend Noah Baumbach are expecting their second child. She told Fallon and the crowd on stage:
“I’m pregnant!”
The audience cheered, and Fallon congratulated Gerwig for choosing his show to share the news. Director Lady Bird also said that she planned to announce the pregnancy another time, but “no one cared”. She says she dresses in a way that reveals “secrets,” but no one seems to notice. Gerwig had a three-year-old son named Harold with his partner Baumbach.
Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig met in 2010.
While Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach first met on the set of his film Greenberg in 2010, Greta Gerwig first met her in Hannah Takes the Stairs, which she co-wrote and acted in 2007. After seeing her perform, Baumbach asked his company to contact Gerwig and give her a role in Greenberg.
Jennifer Jason Leigh, Baumbach’s then-wife, also appeared in the film. The 53-year-old and Leigh divorced 5 months after their debut. Rumors began circulating online that Gerwig had a role in the couple’s divorce, thus inspiring Marriage Story. However, Gerwig and Baumbach often deny the allegations, claiming that they met after completing the divorce proceedings. Noah and Greta collaborated on the film Frances Ha, which was released in 2012. Her performance in the film earned her a Golden Globe nomination. The couple wrote the picture and project together that marked the beginning of their professional relationship turning romantic, however, neither side has confirmed this claim.
The pair then worked together again in 2015 on Mistress America, which she co-wrote and co-produced with Baumbach. Gerwig co-stars with Lola Kirke in the film. The two continue to work together on other projects, though she denies being blamed for Baumbach’s inspiration. In March 2019, the couple had their first child, Harold Ralph Gerwig Baumbach, after Gerwig kept her pregnancy a secret while filming Little Women. Six months later, she announced the birth of her son by appearing with him on the cover of Vogue.
Despite the fact that the couple have been together for many years, they believe that labeling their relationship is pointless. Gerwig revealed why none of them work in an interview on The Late Late Show with James Corden, saying:
“’Boyfriend’ implies that I just met him last week. The word ‘lover’ is disgusting, while the word ‘fiancee’ implies an impending wedding. As a result, none of them work.”
The duo have previously competed for Oscars, with Noah for Marriage Story and Greta Gerwig for Little Women, but neither let a bit of healthy rivalry get in the way of their friendship. They are currently working on another film as writers, Margot Robbie and Ryan Reynolds starring Barbie, which will premiere in July 2023.
