Hollywood stars Rooney Mara (38) and Joaquin Phoenix (49) usually keep their private lives largely under wraps. For example, the couple confirmed the birth of their first child around three years ago rather indirectly in a subparagraph of an open letter, which was primarily about the harsh immigration policy of the United States. But Mara, who was a guest at the Berlinale in Berlin on Friday, posed on the festival’s red carpet with a clearly visible baby tummy. The British newspaper “Daily Mirror” is certain that Oscar winner Phoenix and his long-term partner are expecting their second child.
Rooney Mara attended the Berlinale on Friday to present her new film “La cocina” at the festival. The drama by Mexican director Alonso Ruizpalacios (46) takes place in the hectic kitchen of a large restaurant in the US metropolis of New York. At the world premiere of the film on the red carpet of the Berlin Film Festival, the photos were taken that gave an idea of the 38-year-old actress’ baby bump.
Mara posed in front of Berlin’s Berlinale Palast in a wide, black, strapless dress for the photographers in attendance. The actress repeatedly lovingly cupped her stomach with her hands, as if she wanted to particularly protect the unborn life inside. However, it can be assumed that actress Mara will not make an official statement about her second pregnancy, as her partner Phoenix and she are considered to be very concerned about their privacy.
Mara and Phoenix are said to have met on the set of the film “Her” in 2012. Since then, many details about the Hollywood couple’s private life have remained unclear. Their first child, a son, is said to be named River – after Joaquin Phoenix’s brother River Phoenix (1970-1993), who tragically died in 1993 at the age of just 23. However, this has not been officially confirmed either.
And it is also questionable whether Mara and Phoenix have now tied the knot. In an interview with “Hello! Magazine”, the star, who was last seen in “Napoleon”, referred to Mara as his “wife” in 2022, but confirmation of the possible wedding is still pending.
