Game of Thrones’ Natalie Dormer secretly welcomes a baby girl

Natalie Dormer has announced that she’s become a mother in lockdown.

The Game of Thrones actress revealed that she gave birth to a baby girl three months ago.

Speaking on the That’s After Life podcast to Esther Rantzen, she explained: “It’s the perfect thing to do during a pandemic – get pregnant, have a baby.”

The Margaery Tyrell star added: “I feel like I’m probably being a bit of a cliché – she’ll probably be sitting in a bar in 30 years’ time one day going, ‘Yeah, I’m a COVID baby’.

“I think there’s going to be lots of COVID babies because what else can people do, maybe like Blitz babies?”

Natalie met boyfriend David Oakes when they starred in West End play Venus in Fur in 2019.

Speaking of her new addition, Natalie added: “She’s just three months and she’s an absolute joy. I’m never going to complain about shooting hours ever again because sleep deprivation is something else.

“People say, ‘Your whole perspective on life will change, and your whole set of values’ and you sort of roll your eyes and go, ‘Yeah, yeah’ and then you have one and you go, ‘Oh, wow!'”

“I’m in love,” she added. “I’m absolutely in love, she’s a joy.

“Sleep has always been quite important to me, that’s the only downside. But you know, nature is so clever – the hormones kick in.”

The 39-year-old also spoke about going back to work after having a baby.

The Hunger Games star said: “I’m going to find it very difficult, I think. You don’t want to warp the childhood experience.

“People in the industry that I’m in do lean on nannies and they do that for a reason so that they can take children with them.

“But, I mean for me, this is the perfect time to go back to the stage, because then I could be with her all day.

“But with COVID, who knows when that will happen? I really feel for our theatres around the country, there’s hard times.”
