Pregnant Carice van Houten and Guy Pearce Are Expecting ... Shadowbaby Jokes

Melisandre better get ready for another awkward baby shower.

Dutch "Game of Thrones" actress Carice van Houten and Australian actor Guy Pearce confirmed they are expecting a baby together, which served as a double notice for many of us that they were even dating.
Pearce split from his wife of 18 years last year, and they had no children together.

The "Memento" star had been open about his lack of interest in having children, telling The Guardian in 2007, "I don't even need them. There are enough babies in the world. Besides, I don't think I would be good for babies. I'd be on and off. I think they need more consistent affection than I would be able to give." (He said he's more of a cat person.)
So that's his experience with kids, and we've all seen how Melisandre deals with children -- she pushed Stannis to burn his daughter Shireen, she's a nightmare at baby showers, and the last time she gave birth, the shadowbaby killed a would-be king.


Pearce, 48, and van Houten, 39, are both filming the movie "Brimstone" (along with GoT star Kit Harington) and they are well aware that this situation is just begging for jokes about Melisandre's shadowbaby:

Thanks for all your lovely wishes x https://t.co/DQqDxXlNat

Liam Cunningham, who plays Davos on GoT, even jumped in on the action:

@caricevhouten I just might babysit this one!

Congrats to the growing family! May the Lord of Light shine upon their shadowbaby and give it a special Valyrian steel rattle-sword to protect it through those dark nights that are full of terrors.
