The fiercely private star has not yet revealed her son’s name and did not publicly confirm her pregnancy, but she has opened up about motherhood. 

The Mean Girls star told the The Sunday Times: ‘It’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me, hands down. People] say your life is not your own anymore, but I had 39 years of me, I was sick of me, I was so happy to put the focus on some other person.’ 

Rachel and writer Jamie, 39, were first linked romantically back in April 2016, but have kept their relationship extremely private ever since. 

They have yet to make their red carpet debut as a couple and rarely appear out in public together.
