Michelle Dockery had big news to share at Wednesday's premiere of *Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale *in London: She and her husband of two years, Jasper Waller-Bridge, are expecting their first child.

Dockery and Waller-Bridge married in 2023. He is a film and TV producer, music manager, and the brother of *Fleabag* and *Killing Eve* creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Dockery, 43, attended the formal event to promote her role as Lady Mary in what's billed as the final installment of the Crawley family saga.**

The actress was part of the cast for the period drama on TV, which aired for six seasons between 2010 and 2015, as well as in the big-screen takes *Downton Abbey* (2019) and *Downton Abbey: A New Era* (2022). The newest installment, *Downtown Abbey: The Grand Finale*, arrives in theaters Sept. 12.

"I love kids, but Mary's not the most natural of mothers," she told the U.K.'s *Express* in October 2014. "That's just not who she is — or rather, that's not how people were in those days. Lady Mary is an aristocrat, so she doesn't see her child for more than two hours a day — that's not the sort of cuddly, cooey relationship I would have with a baby."

Before she was married, Dockery was engaged to John Dineen, a public relations executive who died of cancer in 2015.**

In addition to *Downton Abbey*, where her work has garnered her three Emmy nominations, Dockery has appeared in TV's *Good Behavior* and *Anatomy of a Scandal*, as well as in movies including *The Gentlemen* and *Flight Risk*.
