Samara Weaving has welcomed her first child with her movie director husband Jimmy Warden. The former Home and Away star positively glowed when she stepped out to promote her new movie Carolina Caroline at The Meryl Streep Center for Performing Artists on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
The 34-year-old first-time mother was beaming as she posed in a cream vest paired with pinstripe pants and statement red pumps. Samara and her husband are yet to share any information on social media about the sex or name of the newborn.
Pregnancy Announcement
Samara first revealed she was expecting in December 2025. The Aussie actress shared the exciting news by posting a gallery of baby bump photos to Instagram during the press tour for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come.
In one image, Samara stretched her body out on a lounge in a sparkly brown dress as she had her make-up done. She also revealed her growing bump as she posed in a sheer lace top on the balcony of her LA home. 'Ready or Not: Here I Come,' she simply captioned the images, adding a winking face emoji.
Her friends and fans flooded the comments with congratulations, while her husband Jimmy jokingly asked who the baby's father was. 'Congrats! Who is the dad?' he joked. Actor Melvin Gregg said, 'Whaaaaattttt? Congrats Sam… so happy for you guys.' Annie Karstens added, 'Never have I ever seen anything as beautiful!!! Yay!' Her former Home and Away co-star Demi Harman wrote, 'Yas mamacitaaaa.' Another person added, 'I knew it!!!! all along congrats.' One comment read, 'SAMARA!!!! Congratulations mama!!!'
Relationship Timeline
Samara and Jimmy met on the set of the Netflix comedy-horror The Babysitter, and married in secret in 2019, according to Who magazine. The notoriously private star alluded to her marriage during a chat with the Herald Sun in 2022, when asked about her next project. 'I am actually about to go and work with my husband,' she said at the time. Rumours of a secret marriage had been circulating for about a year prior.
Samara is the niece of Lord of the Rings star Hugo Weaving.
