Emma Stone’s Pregnancy Journey: Is Baby #2 On the Way?

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Is Emma Stone pregnant?

Her Oscar nomination for her work in Bugonia has led to renewed interest into the ultra-private life of Emma Stone.

In 2021, she took on the role of a lifetime, becoming a mother for the first time.

Now that she has two Oscars, could another baby be on the way for her next? Here’s what we know.

Emma Stone’s First Pregnancy

“She seems very happy and very excited about becoming a mother — she’s constantly oohing and cooing,” an insider told Us Weekly when Emma was expecting her first child.

In late 2020, early 2021, at the height of the Covid pandemic, Emma was able to keep the news of her first pregnancy fairly under wraps.

You know, due to the whole quarantining thing.

But when she was caught by paparazzi out and about, her baby bump was a dead giveaway that she and her husband Dave McCary were expecting.

The Daily Mail published photos of Stone cradling her growing baby bump on a walk with a friend in Los Angeles on December 30.

Stone herself never confirmed the major news, but sources close to her were all to happy to tell outlets how “healthy and glowing” she was.

“She’s been keeping up with friends and work lately, she’s always staying active and gets her daily exercise in,” the US Weekly source added.

In March 2021, Emma welcomed her first child, Louise Jean.

While Emma has kept much about her daughter private, she did give her a major shout out at the Oscars.

Emma Stone wins her 2nd Oscar and Dedicates To Her Daughter

At the 2024 Oscars, it was clear by the look on Emma’s face that she did not expect to win against Lily Gladstone for Best Actress.

In fact, despite the pair being neck and neck all awards season, most predicted she’d lose out to the breakout star of Killers of the Flower Moon.

But win she did for her role as Bella Baxter in Poor Things.

And, as she held her Oscar in her hand, it also became clear that she was speechless. Like, as in, she didn’t have a speech prepared!

Sure, she blamed the wardrobe malfunction and Ryan Gosling’s Ken performance, but at the end of the day, she really didn’t expect to win.

And so, she thanked those closest to her, like her family, and saved the best message for last.

“I really just want to thank my family – my mom, my brother Spencer, my dad, my husband Dave, I love you so much,” Emma said to finish her speech, before shouting out Louise, her daughter.

“And, most importantly, my daughter, who’s gonna be 3 in three days and has turned our lives technicolor. I love you bigger than the whole sky, my girl.”

Emma Stone Pregnant: Is She Expecting Another Child

As of Oscar night 2026, Emma has not announced that she is pregnant again.

Given how private she was about her first pregnancy, it’s doubtful she’ll fill in her fans until a second baby arrives anyway.

But Emma has been vocal about her pregnancy journey in the past.

In August 2018, Emma talked to to Elle about her and her husband’s future family plans.

“My perspective about kids has changed as I’ve gotten older,” the two-time Oscar winner told pal Jennifer Lawrence at the time.

“I never babysat or anything. As a teenager, I was, like, ‘I’m never getting married, I’m never having kids.’

Of course, clearly all of that changed as she entered her adult years. Emma admits that, with age, came a change of heart and perspective.

“Then I got older and I was, like, ‘I really want to get married, I really want to have kids,’”she said, adding:

“And honestly, so many of my dreams are now personal and less professional.”

Her Marriage To Dave McCary

Part of that personal journey has been finding someone to share her life with.

While Emma Stone might not be pregnant again (yet!), she is in a happy marriage with her husband, Dave McCary, a comedy writer on Saturday Night Live.

Stone and McCary first started dating in October of 2017; they got engaged in December of 2019.

A source then confirmed to People magazine in September 2020 that the two had quietly gotten married.

This blessed news of her first pregnancy came after the couple initially sparked marriage rumors in May when because were seen rocking gold bands.

Is Michael B. Jordan Single? The Rumors and the Truth About His Love Life

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Michael B. Jordan is the total package.

He’s a supremely talented, award-winning actor.

He’s also one of the sexiest men alive.

But who’s he dating now? Is he single? Asking for a friend, of course.

Did he date Kendall Jenner?

Back in 2015, a sighting of Michael B. Jordan with Kendall Jenner raised questions about whether the two were dating.

See, these two famous hotties were spotted leaving the same post-Met Gala party.

(This was a huge time for Kendall and Kylie stepping out from their elder sisters’ shadows — while MBJ was actually considerably less famous than he is today.)

When asked, Jordan actually landed in hot water for sounding a little too defensive about dating white women rather than only dating Black women. That is a complex topic that is, frankly, out of our lane.

However, that tangent aside, he clarified that he and Kendall are only friends. As of 2026, that appears to still be the case.

Did he date KiKi Layne?

In 2019, both Michael B. Jordan and KiKi Layne attended some of the same events in Park City, Utah during the Sundance Film Festival.

Eyewitness reports at the time described the two as friendly, as flirty, and as seemingly attached at the hip.

They didn’t leave together. However, they left in such rapid succession that it nearly amounted to leaving arm-in-arm.

However, neither Jordan nor Layne have ever confirmed any alleged romance.

So this entanglement remains but a rumor. And, regardless, even the rumor ended long ago.

Did he date Cindy Bruna?

Just a couple of months after Sundance, Michael B. Jordan and model Cindy Bruna sparked rumors.

(It is best to remember that this was all on the heels of Black Panther (2018), a film in which he is devastatingly attractive at every turn.)

This time, they were spotted dining together.

Additionally, reports said that Jordan had been double-tapping Bruna’s Instagram photos.

What, if anything, came of this? We don’t know. Neither Jordan nor Bruna ever confirmed or denied a romance.

Michael B. Jordan did, for sure, date Lori Harvey

People first suspected that Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey were dating when, in November 2020, they appeared to attend Thanksgiving with her family together. They had not been dating for long.

Early in 2021, they went Instagram official.

Unlike Jordan’s past rumored entanglements, this was public — with both of them addressing their romance and making public appearances together.

Ultimately, they reportedly broke up around June 2022. In January 2023, Jordan used his SNL monologue to refer to the split as his “very first public breakup.”

Jordan has since referred to the year-and-a-half-long relationship as an “experience” that allowed him to “grow and learn.”

Where do things stand today?

It is currently believed that Michael B. Jordan is single.

Has he confirmed this? No. Jordan is fairly private about his romantic life — which is a sensible approach for anyone who hopes to prevent their fame from destroying their happiness.

These days, he tends to bring his mom as his plus-one to awards shows. (Adorable!)

Obviously, it is entirely possible that he has kept one or more relationships entirely secret. It’s not easy, but it’s conceivable!

But it also makes sense that, you know, sometimes people — especially busy professionals — are just single for a while.

Oscar Predictions 2026: It’s ‘Sinners’ vs. ‘One Battle After …

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Well, we’ve watched all the nominated movies and read all of those “anonymous Academy voter admits to not watching all the nominated movies” articles, and we’re now ready to deliver our annual Oscar predictions!

That’s the good news.

The bad news is, this is one of the most unpredictable races in recent memory, so we wouldn’t go betting the rent money on any of these picks.

With that said, here are our best guesses for tonight’s biggest categories.

Best Actress: Jessie Buckley, Hamnet

If there’s one acting category that seems close to settled, it’s this one.

Jessie Buckley’s performance in Hamnet has been generating raves for months, and many awards experts believe she’s headed straight for the Dolby Theatre podium tonight.

The Academy loves emotionally devastating performances.

And Buckley delivered one of the year’s best.

Best Actor: Michael B. Jordan, Sinners

The Best Actor race has been described as “unpredictable” all season long, with Timothee Chalamet and Leonardo DiCaprio both looking like the favorites at various points.

But if momentum means anything in Hollywood, Michael B. Jordan appears to have it.

His performance in Sinners has been widely praised, and his upset win at the 2026 BAFTAs makes him the odds-on favorite in the category.

In fact, his win is starting to feel inevitable.

And as we previously discussed, Chalamet’s relentless award season campaign might have actually hurt him here.

Best Supporting Actress: Teyana Taylor, One Battle After Another

If you had predicted a year ago that Teyana Taylor might end up holding an Oscar in 2026, some people probably would have raised an eyebrow.

Now? It seems not only plausible but downright probable.

Taylor’s performance in One Battle After Another has been widely praised throughout award season, with critics applauding the emotional depth she brought to the morally complex role of Perfidia Beverly Hills.

And while this category has been highly competitive, the momentum appears to be swinging in her direction at exactly the right moment.

The Academy loves a breakout performance.

And if the votes fall the way many observers expect, Taylor may be adding “Oscar winner” to her resume before the night is over.

Best Supporting Actor: Sean Penn

If there’s one thing the Academy has always loved, it’s a legendary actor delivering a performance that reminds everyone why he’s been famous for decades.

Enter Sean Penn.

Penn’s turn in One Battle After Another has been generating serious awards buzz for months now, and it feels like the kind of performance that Oscar voters simply can’t resist.

Yes, the category includes several strong contenders.

But Penn has the narrative advantage: a respected industry veteran, a high-profile film, and the sort of intense yet comedic performance that tends to play very well with Academy voters.

In other words?

Don’t be surprised if we see Penn walking onstage tonight with that familiar smirk … and yet another golden statue.

Best Director: Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another

This is where things get interesting.

While Sinners might dominate several of the major categories, director Paul Thomas Anderson appears poised to take home Best Director for One Battle After Another.

And frankly, it would be a long-overdue moment.

Anderson has been nominated multiple times without winning — the kind of narrative that tends to motivate Academy voters.

Which means tonight might finally be his night.

Best Picture: One Battle After Another

Usually, by this point in award season, the Best Picture race has a clear frontrunner. That’s not really the case this year.

One Battle After Another got out to an early lead, but with just hours remaining until the big announcement, many prognosticators now have Sinners pulling out an upset win.

Honestly, it could go either way. And while it’s unlikely, there’s even a possibility that the two favorites will split the vote and enable a dark horse like Hamnet to steal the night’s top prize.

This is the Oscars, which means anything could happen. And we’ve seen some wild upsets in recent years.

That said, Best Picture will likely go to either Sinners or OBAA, and both films are certainly deserving.

But given the Academy’s historic disdain for genre fare, we’re giving the slight edge to PTA’s madcap comic masterpiece.

Of course, it’s sure to be a big evening for Sinners, as well. Both films are poised to earn an armload of statuettes on the most unpredictable Oscar night we’ve seen in years.
