Vanessa, known for her roles in The Crown and the Mission: Impossible franchise, reportedly got engaged to Paul in December last year. However, the couple never confirmed the news publicly.

On May 31, 2025, during the Fantastic Four: First Steps panel at the CCXPMX Film Festival in Mexico City, Kirby debuted her baby bump in a shimmering teal Schiaparelli gown. In the upcoming Marvel film, set to release on July 25, 2025, she portrays Sue Storm, also known as the Invisible Woman. Interestingly, her character is also shown as pregnant in the movie, adding a layer of real-life resonance to her role. This wasn’t lost on netizens, some of whom initially thought the baby bump was part of the promotional strategy for the film. However, they soon realized that she is genuinely expecting her first child.
