Rooney Mara<\/a> and <\/span>Joaquin Phoenix<\/a> are expecting another bundle of joy!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On Friday, the actress, 38, arrived at the\u00a074th Berlinale International Film Festival and cradled her growing baby bump while posing for pictures on the carpet.\u00a0The <\/span>Carol <\/span><\/em>star chose to wear a stunning strapless, floor-length gown with black draped material that subtly showed off her bump for the event, which was in support of her new film, <\/span>La Cocina.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n ET reached out to reps for Mara and Joaquin for comment.<\/span><\/p>\n Joaquin, 49, and Mara already are parents to son River — who was born in 2020 and is named after Joaquin’s older brother, actor River Phoenix, who died at the age of 23 from an overdose in 1993.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The name of the couple’s first child was revealed by Russian filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky, who — while premiering a film at the Zurich Film Festival in September 2020 —<\/span> announced the name<\/a> to the audience.<\/span><\/p>\n “He just got a baby, by the way,” Kossakovsky said at the time, “a beautiful son called River.”<\/span><\/p>\n Mara and Joaquin first met while working together on the set of <\/span>Her<\/span><\/em>, which was directed by Spike Jonze and written by Joaquin. In the movie, he plays a writer who falls for Samantha, an artificial intelligence Operating System\u00a0voiced by Scarlett Johansson — but not before his relationship with Catherine, played by Mara, comes to an end.<\/span><\/p>\n In an interview with\u00a0<\/span>Vanity Fair<\/em><\/a>, Joaquin admitted\u00a0that he thought Mara despised him while they were working together, but that really, she was just shy. They quickly became friends and things blossomed from there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “She’s the only girl I ever looked up on the internet,” he said. “We were just friends, email friends. I’d never done that. Never looked up a girl online.”<\/span><\/p>\n They ultimately started dating in 2016 while working on <\/span>Mary Magdalene<\/span><\/em> together and later showed up to the\u00a070th annual Cannes Film Festival in May 2017 holding hands. Two years later, <\/span>Us Weekly<\/em><\/a>\u00a0reported\u00a0that the longtime couple and costars were engaged.<\/span><\/p>\n Mara and Joaquin were hand in hand months after that at the 2020 Academy Awards, where Joaquin won Best Lead Actor for <\/span>Joker<\/span><\/em>. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the couple quarantined at their home in Los Angeles, which is when the news of their first pregnancy broke.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n RELATED CONTENT:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
