Congrats are in order! Actress Carrie Coon is pregnant and expecting her first child with husband Tracy Letts, a source confirms to Us Weekly.
With award season in full swing, the busy couple have a lot to celebrate this year — including their baby on board.
Letts can currently be seen in two of the years biggest hits, The Post and Lady Bird, the latter which he’s nominated alongside his cast for the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.
The 36-year-old expectant mother is also coming off a big year. She earned critical acclaim for her role of Nora Durst in the HBO show The Leftovers. She received the 2016 Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series for playing Durst, and snagged a 2018 Critics’ Choice nomination for Best Actress in a Movie/Miniseries for her role as Gloria Burgle in Fargo.
While the duo both star alongside Meryl Streep in The Post — the story of Katherine Graham, the first female publisher of a major American newspaper — the 52-year-old actor opened up in a December interview with Vulture about the experience of working with his wife.
“Because I was nervous, it was great to see her in the makeup trailer in the morning. It was great to be able to go to work and see my wife,” he told the outlet. “Not to mention, then we go home at night and we get to talk about the day, talk about the work, talk about the other people.”
He added: “It was great fun. Getting to have lunch with her — what a pleasure. Normally, you say goodbye at the beginning of the day, you go off to work, and you don’t see each other again until sometimes very late that night, or sometimes if we’re away shooting, not for weeks at a time, so it was a great pleasure for us.”
Coon and Letts tied the knot in September 2013.
