AceShowbiz - Irish actress Charlene McKenna, 40, has revealed that she secretly welcomed her first child with her husband, Adam Rothenberg. The "Peaky Blinders" star announced the birth of her daughter, Martha Josephine, during an interview on RTE Radio 1. McKenna shared that she gave birth in March 2024 and is enjoying motherhood.
"I had a little baby, so I've been kind of out of the loop for a long time now," McKenna said. "I've just been in nesting mode and enjoying my little girl. She's just... she's very special."
McKenna previously played Laura McKee in the fifth and sixth series of "Peaky Blinders". Despite her success, she admits to feeling "existential terror" about the prospect of her acting work drying up. "I still live with the existential terror and dread it will go away," she said. "You feel nervous taking time off because you're like, 'Will that be it then?'"
McKenna married Rothenberg, her co-star on the series "Ripper Street" in 2021. The couple has kept their private life largely under wraps, but McKenna did share some insights into her experience as a new mother with her husband.
Another "Peaky Blinders" star, Sophie Rundle, recently announced the birth of her second child, a baby boy. She shared a photo on social media, expressing her joy and love for her newborn.
The news of McKenna's secret pregnancy and the birth of her child has come as a surprise to many. However, her fans and fellow actors have extended their congratulations and well wishes to the happy family.
