May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Evangeline Lilly was visibly pregnant with her second child when it came time for her to promote "Ant-Man" in June 2015. While fielding questions from the media at the movie's Hollywood premiere, she showed off her baby bump in a black-and-white color-block dress with an asymmetrical neckline. "I went and got an ultrasound recently and it looked like a photograph, like, I could see my child's face!" she told ET. However, Lilly revealed that she and her partner, Norman Kali, didn't want to find out the baby's sex until the little one decided to make their grand entrance.

She compared her second pregnancy to her first in an interview with People, saying, "I'm much more tired this time. The last time I was off work, I had no children, I had a partner who was busy working 18 hours a day, so I had all day to meditate and love on my baby and just be pregnant." While speaking to Ocean Drive about her disinterest in getting married, Lilly revealed that Kali later decided to become a stay-at-home dad.

The couple didn't make a big announcement when baby no. 2 was born, but in October 2015, E! News published photos of Lilly rocking a bikini with no bump in sight. Us Weekly later reported that the couple had welcomed a daughter. "What I wanted originally was six kids," Lilly told Ocean Drive in 2015, revealing that she and Kali had also looked into adoption.
