Rooney Mara covered her baby bump in a casual, flowy ensemble as she stepped out in Los Angeles this week.
The 38-year-old actress is expecting her second child with her fiancé Joaquin Phoenix, with whom she has been in a romantic relationship for eight years.
She broke the news of her latest pregnancy by cradling her burgeoning belly while posing on a Berlinale red carpet less than two weeks ago.
Then this Tuesday, with the cat out of the bag, she was seen running around Los Angeles in a comfortable outfit that included a maternity t-shirt and jacket.
She pulled her dark brown hair into a high ponytail, put on a pair of sunglasses and kept herself entertained with headphones on.

The 38-year-old actress is expecting her second child from her fiancé Joaquin Phoenix, with whom she has been in a romantic relationship for eight years.
She debuted her belly at the Berlinale premiere of her film La Cocina, a drama about a Manhattan restaurant by Mexican director Alonso Ruizpalacios.
Rooney cut a luminous figure on the red carpet in a strapless, softly ruffled black dress that fell into a small train with a hint of retro chic.
As photographers snapped at her, she crossed her hands at waist level and adjusted the fabric to highlight her growing bulge.
Rooney and Joaquín began their romance in 2016 and in 2020 welcomed their son River, named after Joaquín’s late brother, a Hollywood heartthrob who died of a cocaine and morphine overdose at age 23.
Joaquin and Rooney are known for being assiduously secretive about their personal lives, waiting months after the birth of their son before discussing the matter in public.
The news of River’s arrival broke in September 2020 when Russian filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky leaked the information at the Zurich Film Festival.
The director was premiering his documentary Gunda, which had Joaquín as executive producer, and spoke about the movie star during an onstage Q&A session.
“By the way, you just had a baby,” Victor told the live audience in an audio clip that quickly went viral. ‘A beautiful son named River.’

“I think it’s the best thing in the world,” he gushed, “I mean, it sounds so cliché when you talk about it, but things are cliché for a reason.”

He acknowledged that he leads “a very privileged life,” which allows him the luxury of reducing his work obligations to spend more time with his son.
“Motherhood is very challenging, even when you have a privileged life, and I am very lucky to have the option to be with him most of the time,” she said.
“What I think” “Oh, I only go to work once a year if something feels right, and other than that, this is what I’m doing.” “Most people don’t have that option.”
