Beanie Feldstein says she and wife Bonnie-Chance Roberts are expecting a girl

Beanie Feldstein used a morning television appearance to say she and wife Bonnie-Chance Roberts are expecting a baby girl, turning a lighthearted family reveal into a moment of visibility for an LGBTQ couple in entertainment. Feldstein made the announcement on CBS Mornings while discussing her new children's book, Teeny and Tilly, and said she and Roberts are “so lucky” to be becoming parents soon.

The reveal came after co-host Gayle King pointed to the couple’s pink-themed pregnancy photos. Feldstein responded, “It’s a girl baby,” confirming the detail that had been teased in the images. The pregnancy was first announced by the couple on May 4 in a joint Instagram post, with the caption reported by multiple outlets as, “Limited Edition Scouse Beanie Baby coming soon.”

Feldstein and Roberts have built a relationship that has remained visible to fans since they met while making the 2019 film How to Build a Girl, where Roberts was a producer and Feldstein played Johanna Morrigan. The couple married on May 20, 2023, and their summer camp-themed wedding in New York’s Hudson Valley drew additional attention to a relationship Feldstein has spoken about openly in public.

Roberts, a British film producer from Liverpool, is known for producing How to Build a Girl and has credits including Cats and Mary Queen of Scots. Her background in film and Feldstein’s profile as an actor and author have made the couple part of a broader cultural conversation about same-sex families in public life, where simple announcements can still carry outsized meaning for visibility and representation.
