Michelle Dockery is expecting first baby with husband Jasper Waller-Bridge. The Downton Abbey star, who is 43, revealed the news at the world premiere of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale in London. Dockery wore a dusty blue off-the-shoulder gown as she walked the red carpet, baby bump on full display. She also posed with her husband, who is the brother of actor, writer and director Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Dockery and Waller-Bridge tied the knot in September 2023. They were spotted being showered with confetti outside a church in West London, cheering together with their excited friends, according to photos shared by the Daily Mail. The reported wedding came over a year after the pair announced their engagement with a notice in The Times in January 2022. Dockery was previously engaged to public relations executive John Dineen, who died in 2015 at age 34 following a battle with a rare form of cancer. Dockery is best known for starring as Lady Mary Crawley in the ITV television period drama series Downton Abbey, for which she has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award and three consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is scheduled for release on 12 September.
