The couple never officially announced Mary’s pregnancy publicly.

“It’s almost like when they had three-sided sets all in a row, and a bunch of guys with windup cameras, and you would just go from one stage to the other, one background to the other.
“Well, we’re doing sort of the same thing, except just the background changes instead of the stage. I’m excited about it because I feel like anything’s possible now.”
Mary, also in showbiz, will be on screens again soon starring in Netflix’s Kate.
