Kata Mara cradles her daughter in a baby carrier during low-key stroll with husband Jamie Bell

She recently starred in the Hulu miniseries A Teacher, which was based on the 2013 film of the same name.

And Kate Mara enjoyed some downtime with her family on Friday as she enjoyed a low-key stroll with husband Jamie Bell, 34, and her little girl, 19 months, in Los Angeles.

The House Of Cards star, 37, was every inch the doting mum as she carefully cradled her daughter in a baby carrier as she walked alongside Jamie.

Keeping things casual for the outing, Kate donned a pair of grey joggers, teaming it with a dark green jumper and white trainers.

The film star swept her brunette tresses into an up do, while her face was mostly covered with dark sunglasses and a white face mask.

Meanwhile, Billy Elliott star Jamie echoed his wife’s casual look, donning black joggers, a white T-shirt and a black zip-up jacket.  

Kate and Jamie first met on the set of Fantastic Four, which they both starred in, and became engaged and married in 2017.

They welcomed their daughter in May 2019, whose name hasn’t been publicly revealed yet.

Mara told Us Weekly back in October about juggling work and motherhood: ‘I find it quite easy to switch it on and off.

‘Thank God, because as a new mom when you have a baby on your boob screaming in the trailer, and then you’ve got to go pretend to be sexy, it’s kind of a complete nightmare.’

She also explained how becoming a mother influenced her decision to star in her latest series A Teacher, which premiered last month.

The House of Cards actress said: ‘Eventually she’s going to be able to look at the work I’ve done. And now more than ever, I want it to mean something and for there to be a point to it. 

‘Sometimes you do just have to work for money. Sometimes you’re lucky enough that you can make choices based on more than that.’

She stars as Claire, a teacher at a Texas high school who begins an illicit affair with her student Eric (Nick Robinson), which comes with consequences that leave permanent damage on both their lives. 

The native New Yorker told The Wrap of the controversial show: ‘Some people are definitely going to feel uncomfortable watching the show. It wasn’t something that we made thinking that it would be a super-easy watch. Comfortable is not the word we were going for.’

Mara added: ‘I don’t think you normally see the story told from this perspective or this point of view. It was one of the reasons why I was excited to tell it…

‘And I think it’s because it isn’t something that people necessarily want to talk about. The fact that it’s a female doing the abuse and being the groomer and all of these things I think is also something that is rarely discussed.’
