Carey Mulligan confirms she and Marcus Mumford quietly welcomed third baby

Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford now have a family of five.

The actress gave birth to the couple’s third child months ago, she revealed in Vogue’s November cover story, published Tuesday.

At the time the interview was conducted, the 38-year-old was six weeks postpartum — and she kicked the conversation off with a stained outfit.

“Here I am, ready for Vogue,” she joked at the time. “I’m going to change [the baby], and then we’re going to find Mum another shirt.”

Mulligan went on to call life “very normal,” saying it revolves around “school runs, Sunday lunches” and other “tricky logistics.”

The profile did not provide further detail on her and Mumford’s third child’s name or sex.

The couple met as childhood pen pals, but their relationship did not turn romantic until they reconnected as adults.

The Mumford & Sons frontman got down on one knee in 2011 and married the Oscar nominee in April of the following year.

The “Promising Young Woman” star gave birth to daughter Evelyn, now 7, in September 2015 followed by son Wilfred, now 5, in August 2017.

Mulligan’s rep confirmed in January that the BAFTA Award winner was pregnant with baby No. 3.

The then-expectant star debuted her bump at the American Film Institute Awards luncheon that same month, cradling her budding belly in a black dress.

While Mulligan and Mumford keep their kids out of the public eye, she did tell Baby magazine in 2018 that motherhood changed “everything” about her acting career.

“I’d played mothers before without having ever known what it’s like to have your own child,” she explained after taking on a character in “Mudbound” who experiences a miscarriage.

“It was the first time I felt so connected. It felt so much more intense, knowing and experiencing those emotions.”

Five years later, the Golden Globe nominee revealed in a Vanity Fair interview that she experienced “postnatal depression” after birthing her eldest child.

Although Mumford has kept his lips zipped about fatherhood, the “I Will Wait” singer joked during a 2021 “Saturday Night Live” episode about being “very happy” to take on any music gigs after quarantining with Mulligan and their little ones amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

His wife chimed in, jokingly comparing their setup in the English countryside to the “beginning of most horror movies.”
