PIC EXC: Pregnant Gentleman Jack star Sophie Rundle holds hands with husband Matt Stokoe

Sophie Rundle and her husband Matt Stokoe held hands during a cosy stroll in London last Friday, ahead of their first child’s arrival.

The pregnant Gentleman Jack star, 32, displayed her baby bump in denim dungarees as she joined the fellow actor, also 32, who she is rumoured to have tied the knot to earlier this year. 

Ann Walker actress Sophie is believed to currently be on maternity leave as filming for the historical BBC drama’s second series takes place in Yorkshire.

The Episodes star looked typically radiant as she styled her overalls with a longline jacket, a purple scarf and a pinstripe sweatshirt. 

Adding a touch of edge to her look, the TV, film and stage performer rounded things off with chunky brown boots and circular-framed shades.

Her long-term partner Matt, meanwhile, cut an equally casual figure in a brown vest, a navy cardigan and joggers, which he tied in with a baseball cap and suede footwear. 

The parents-to-be appeared in great spirits as they held onto warm beverages while walking their retriever, Buddy.

The thespian confirmed the happy news last month with images of herself holding her bump, shared to Instagram. 

The couple were rumoured to have taken their relationship to the next level after they were seen wearing wedding bands in January. 

Soon after their engagement in 2019, Sophie said: ‘The whole wedding thing is weird. Everyone expects you to be desperate to be a princess for the day – that’s not really my scene.’

The outing came after the blonde had been seriously ill with Covid over the Christmas period.

The screen star penned on social media: ‘Greetings from my sick bed. So for Christmas this year I got myself a juicy bout of Covid-19. 

‘I also have a very festive bloodshot eye from all of the hardcore vomiting I was doing in hospital. I can taste nothing, I have a cough to rival a Dickensian workhouse orphan boy.’ 

The Peaky Blinders star also told how she was suffering from a pain from a ‘gnarly’ wisdom tooth, saying it all added up to ‘quite the feast of festive ailments’.

Sophie and Matt, star of BBC period drama The Musketeers and Netflix series Cursed, have been together since 2016 after meeting on the set of Sky One drama Jamestown.

Since then, the High Wycombe native has barely been off our screens, with appearances in Bodyguard, Peaky Blinders and Sky’s Urban Myths, in which she played Princess Diana and Line Of Duty. 

The expectant star most recently starred alongside Matt in the claustrophobic horror film Rose: A Love Story, in which they played a couple living in a remote woodland cabin.
