Keira Knightley Is Pregnant With Her Second Baby
Blake Lively isn't the only actress to speechlessly reveal she's pregnant yesterday. Keira Knightley also did-at a Chanel cocktail party in Paris. Knightley is expecting her and her husband James Righton's second child; the two welcomed their first child, daughter Edie, in 2015. She debuted her baby bump in a white and pale pink gown:
Later that evening, Knightely and her husband Righton appeared together at the Chanel 2020 Cruise Show. She wore a black tulle dress embellished with white flowers for the show.
Knightley wrote about her childbirth experience in an essay for Feminists Don't Wear Pink (And Other Lies). The actress wrote to her daughter about how she felt when she had visitors in the hospital. "My breast is out in front of them all and I don't care," she wrote, via E!. "Your life is my life. You need me. I'm there. F*ck them all with their eyes watching, their embarrassed faces at my animalistic semi-nudity. Is this soft motherhood?"
Knightley made headlines in that essay for the remarks she made about Kate Middleton and the insane expectation that she pose with her babies shortly after giving birth to them. Some took it as Knightley shaming Kate. Knightley denied doing so, saying those people clearly missed the greater point of her essay.
"I think it's very interesting that certain parts of the media have, I don't want to say purposefully, but let's just say misrepresented my meaning and exactly what I said," Knightley said. "So I would suggest to those people in the media that they re-read the entirety of the essay and not just take one bit out of it because the comments that I made are completely about our culture that silences women's truths and forces us all to hide and I absolutely did not shame anybody in any way, in fact quite the opposite."
