Karen Gillan has stepped into a new role—motherhood! The Guardians of the Galaxy star and her husband, comedian and writer Nick Kocher, welcomed their first child in 2024. Karen shared the joyful news on Instagram with a heartwarming year-in-review post.
“2024 thank you for giving us Clementine 🍊. Also as per the last slide – I shot a film called Let’s Have Kids right as I got preggo in real life so take that Daniel Day Lewis,” Karen wrote, blending her signature humor with a sweet nod to her daughter.
The actress, known for her roles in sci-fi blockbusters and heartfelt dramas, first announced her pregnancy in September while stunning on the red carpet at the Toronto Film Festival. Fans and followers had speculated about her growing family, but Karen kept most details private until her adorable year-end reveal.
The Instagram post included a slideshow of moments from 2024, with Karen and Nick holding matching “Best Mom Ever” and “Best Dad Ever” mugs.
Karen and Nick’s love story is one for the digital age. They first connected after Karen slid into Nick’s Twitter DMs—a bold move that clearly paid off. The couple later tied the knot in a secret ceremony in May 2022, keeping their romance refreshingly low-key despite their high-profile careers.
While Karen is known for her work in Hollywood, Nick has carved out his own space in the entertainment world as a comedian and writer.
Here’s to Karen’s next adventure—motherhood looks good on her!
