Although PEOPLE [confirmed her pregnancy](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2014/12/12/keira-knightley-pregnant-expecting-first-child-james-righton/) in December, the mom-to-be, 30, kept mum on the news, and let her baby belly speak for itself in the weeks leading up to award season. But after [stepping out several times](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/01/11/keira-knightley-pregnant-bafta-tea-party-afi-awards/) in gowns that kept her bump under wraps, Knightley — who later joked her ‘[waist had disappeared](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/01/25/sag-awards-2015-keira-knightley-pregnant-red-carpet/)‘ — opened up about the perks of pregnancy while walking the Golden Globes red carpet in January. “Luckily, I don’t have lipstick. I only have nuts in here. It’s the wonderful thing about being pregnant. You just need to make sure you have snacks. So this is a snack bag,” she [told _Entertainment Tonight_](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/01/11/golden-globes-2015-keira-knightley-pregnant-red-carpet/) of her clutch. While Knightley and the Klaxons’ keyboardist, 31, opted to keep the sex a delivery surprise, the expectant actress admitted to [Ellen DeGeneres](http://www.people.com/people/ellen%5Fdegeneres/) that the thought of having a son was frightening. “Somebody said to me the other day, the problem with boys is — sorry, this is horrible — but when you’re changing their nappies, you can get the wee in your face,” she said [during a February appearance](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/02/17/keira-knightley-pregnant-ellen-degeneres-baby-sex-birth-plan/). _—Additional reporting by Mary Green_ _This_ [_article_](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/05/26/keira-knightley-welcomes-first-child-james-righton/) _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3896955/keira-knightley-first-child/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3896955/keira-knightley-first-child/"},"headline":"Keira Knightley Welcomes New Baby","datePublished":"2015-05-26T19:55:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:20:20.106Z","description":"The baby's gender still remains a mystery","url":"https://time.com/3896955/keira-knightley-first-child/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrity","Keira Knightley"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd7bb8f3e7becf6ef/698851b03c1639b451458115/465617532-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Anya Leon / People"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd7bb8f3e7becf6ef/698851b03c1639b451458115/465617532-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Actress Keira Knightley and husband James Righton arrive at the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Feb. 22, 2015.","caption":"Actress Keira Knightley and husband James Righton arrive at the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Feb. 22, 2015.","creditText":"Axelle/Bauer-Griffin—FilmMagic/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3896955/keira-knightley-first-child/","name":"Keira Knightley Welcomes New Baby"}}]}] ```
