Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer has become a mom for the first time.
The actress, 39, gave birth to a baby girl in January, who she shares with her boyfriend David Oakes, 37, and she revealed the happy news today (April 28) with Esther Rantzen on her That's After Life podcast.
"It's the perfect thing to do during a pandemic - get pregnant, have a baby," Natalie joked.
The Game of Thrones star lives in London with her boyfriend and fellow actor Oakes, and the pair have been dating since December 2018 after meeting in the West End play Venus in Fur, Metro reports.

Speaking on the podcast, Dormer said: "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?"
She 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 value system' and you sort of roll your eyes and go 'yeah, yeah' - and then you have one and you go, 'Oh. Wow!'"
While the actress admits that it has been an adjustment getting used to life as a mother, she is loving her new role.
"I'm in love. 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. So you regret it."

However, she says that it could be challenging working with a young child.
"I'm going to find it very difficult, I think, you don't want to warp the childhood experience," she admits.
Natalie is now hoping to be able to balance motherhood and acting by focusing on theatre work and its more child-friendly hours for the time being.
Dormer, who does not use social media, is best known for her portrayal of Margaery Tyrell in Game of Thrones.
