Comedian Aisling Bea Welcomes First Baby, Sharing Hilarious 'One Star' Pregnancy Review
Aisling Bea, a renowned 40-year-old Irish comedian and actress known for her roles in This Way Up and Living With Yourself alongside Paul Rudd, has welcomed her first child with partner Jack Freeman. Bea, who has been in a relationship with London-based composer, musician, and producer Freeman for nearly two years, announced her pregnancy in early June. This is prepared by SSP.
Taking to Instagram, the Kildare native humorously shared a "Trip Advisor review" of her pregnancy, rating it only "one star." She comically cited several negatives, such as the high expense, unrestful experience, limited drink options, and a lack of breakfast. Bea noted that the period was plagued with symptoms like UTIs, bleeding, depression, cramps, insomnia, nosebleeds, sinus blockages, migraines, random touches from people, bones "mushing," organs shifting, skin stretching, and advice that promised she'd forget the pain and cherish the privilege of pregnancy.
Despite these challenges, Bea found some positivity, highlighting how the bath was quite nice and she received much help with her bags towards the end of her stay. She amusingly mentioned that a nearby kebab shop owner offered her extra chips accompanied with a flirty wink and noted that the cute gift she got at check-out made the arduous trip a bit more tolerable.
Bea documented her pregnancy journey with various photos on Instagram. Many pictures showcased moments when "I didn't hate it or looked like I didn’t hate it." The photo series concluded with a touching image of the new mom holding her newborn in a hospital bed.
Support from fans and friends poured in, congratulating the comedian on her new arrival. One enthusiastic supporter cheered, "Aisling!! You did it. You BLOODY DID IT," while another fondly reviewed her godchild with "Five stars." Many users found Bea's tongue-in-cheek post relatable, with one remarking on the sympathetic yet funny nature of the review and another correlating her unusual pregnancy nosebleeds to shared experiences.
Bea originally hinted at her pregnancy during a June charity event staffed alongside US celebrities like Paul Rudd, Seth Herzog, and Travis Kelce. "Yes, I am pregnant, this time it’s not a joke about bread," she remarked humorously, referencing an earlier post where her bloated stomach sparked speculation.
The new addition to Aisling Bea's life brings joy and humor, resonant with her witty and vibrant spirit.
