There's a baby Joker on the way. 

Vulture reports that Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara are expecting their first child together. In fact, it seems that the couple is just waiting for a few more months before they welcome the new addition to their home. Reports are saying that the 'Girl with a Dragon Tattoo' star might actually six months along already. It seems that eagle-eyed fans have pointed out that the baggy clothes she has been wearing lately were all to hide her baby bump. 

According to Insider, the two continue to isolate themselves in their home in Los Angeles. While there are added risks to being pregnant during this pandemic, it seems that Joaquin has been very helpful and has even accompanied Mara to her appointment with the doctors. 

The two have been dating since 2016, but they have met earlier than that when the co-starred in the movie 'Her'. That is not the last time that they did a movie together. After 'Her', they also co-starred in 'Don't Worry, 'He Won't Get Far on Foot' and the most recent, playing Jesus and Mary Magdalene in 'Mary Magdalene.' 

In an interview, the Academy Award-Winning Actor actor admitted that he was right away drawn to the actress but he thought that she did not like him. It turns out, she just had a shy personality. They were email friends until they reunited for 'Mary Magdalene'. They started dating after the movie finished filming and by 2018 they were engaged. 

They are quite a low-key couple. They are not often seen together in public but they did attend several red carpet events together. In fact, during the awards season where Phoneix was nominated for his role in the movie 'Joker', for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor, Joaquin would often step aside and let his fiancee be the one photographed. 

The actor is known for his quirky personality. The younger brother of the late River Phoenix famously retired in 2008. The whole retirement turned out to be an act for a mockumentary entitled 'Im Still Here'. He and his brother River are known as the only two brothers to have been nominated for an Academy Award, him for Joker (which he won) while River was nominated for the movie 'Running on Empty.'

The couple has not yet confirmed the validity of the pregnancy, which will be the first for both.
