Beetz, 35, looked stunning in a two-piece striped skirt suit from Maximilian Raynor’s spring 2027 collection, which accentuated her growing belly. The couple, who reportedly tied the knot earlier this year in Germany, have been with each other for nearly a decade, having first met during an acting workshop.
David Rysdahl, 39, posed proudly next to Beetz during the premiere, at times affectionately holding her baby bump. While a representative for Beetz was unavailable for comment following the event, the joyful expressions shared by the couple spoke volumes about their excitement for this new chapter in their lives.
Their wedding took place at Salveymühle by Zaza in Germany, as reported by Elle. Their relationship has been cultivated through a shared passion for the arts, which has seen them collaborating on various projects. Rysdahl has previously remarked on their mutual approach to the industry, noting, “Zazie and I both grew up in the industry, kind of approaching it collaboratively.”
In an interview with the New York Daily News, Rysdahl expanded on his desire for deeper involvement in their projects, expressing a wish to be more than just actors. He said, “Sometimes as an actor you come in, do a job, and it’s over. There’s so much more on that bone. I want to be in the editing room. I want to help put it together beforehand.” Their creative partnership has even led them to establish their own production company, Sleepy Poppy.
The couple has previously appeared together on screen, notably in an episode of ‘Black Mirror’, along with the films ‘Dead Pigs’ and ‘Nine Days’. Their work has emphasised their collaborative spirit, culminating in the formation of Sleepy Poppy, which they describe as a space for creativity and genuine storytelling.
During an interview with Vanity Fair in May 2022, Beetz confirmed her engagement to Rysdahl, further solidifying their partnership both personally and professionally. The duo has successfully navigated their careers in Hollywood, and they often assist each other with their projects. Rysdahl has noted the value of this companionship, stating, “She’s my acting coach and I’m hers,” highlighting the supportive role they play in each other’s artistic journeys.
‘Nocturne’, which also features an ensemble cast including Stephen Graham, Liev Schreiber, Chrissy Metz, and Rory Culkin, is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on 30 October 2023. As excitement builds around the show, Beetz’s pregnancy announcement adds an extra layer of joy to this significant time in her life.
With a mixture of anticipation for her new role as a mother and the release of her latest work, Zazie Beetz is undoubtedly embarking on an exciting journey both at home and in her career.
