The couple began dating in 2016 and live together in North London.

A source told the Sun on Sunday: “Laura and Michael absolutely love being parents and were grateful to have some time away from the limelight to enjoy the moment.

“Laura’s taken motherhood in her stride and it’s added another string to her bow.”

Laura, 35, was working as a receptionist before appearing in the first Downton Abbey series on TV in 2010.

But on Monday she stole the show in a £4,000 baby pink satin Giambattista Valli minidress at the premiere of the movie spin-off of the period drama, Downton Abbey: A New Era.

She said of her return to showbusiness: “After so long in lockdown, walking the red carpet was a shock for us all. I was terrified.

“Most of the time I’m working or watch trash TV.”
