Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy have recently welcomed their third child together. Although the exact date of the baby's arrival remains a well-kept secret, the couple delighted onlookers as they strolled through the bustling streets of New York City, proudly pushing their newborn in a stylish stroller, per Page Six.

Danes looked stunning in a flowing, multicolored maxi dress for their leisurely outing, while Dancy sported a classic navy blue polo shirt paired with khaki shorts.

The talented duo, who have been married since 2009, are already proud parents of their two sons, Cyrus, 10, and Rowan, 4, born in December 2012 and August 2018, respectively.

In January, Danes, 44, surprised fans when she unveiled her baby bump at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards. She shared with Entertainment Tonight that her third pregnancy was "not so expected."

During an interview on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" in January, Danes shared insights into her family dynamics regarding the impending arrival of another child.

The "Fleishman Is in Trouble" star revealed that while her eldest son, Cyrus, had come to terms with the idea of having another sibling and accepted it, her second-born, Rowan, vehemently opposed the notion.

According to Page Six, Danes described Rowan as being firmly against the idea, explaining, "He said, 'Yeah, no, no, no, I don't like it. I like peace, Mama.' I was like, 'That's rich.' Because that dude does not shut up."

The actress also shared that Rowan suggested an alternate future for the baby, stating, "When it comes out of your tummy, we'll give it to a family that doesn't have a baby because we're done."

However, as time went on, the future big brother began to adopt a slightly more optimistic attitude. 

Danes, renowned for her exceptional portrayal of a bipolar CIA agent in the popular TV series "Homeland," has been refreshingly open about her experiences with motherhood.

In a candid interview with Harper's Bazaar UK in 2014, just two years after giving birth to her first child, she said, "Being a mom is incredibly challenging."

Danes acknowledged the societal pressure to depict motherhood in idyllic terms explaining, "But, we still feel a pressure to talk about it in very romantic terms. We all have that resentment at times and anxiety about being trapped by the role, that responsibility."

She emphasized the remarkable and unique nature of the female experience, where hormonal fluctuations and mental states can intensify these emotions. "And, then chemically it can run riot. Your mental state, the hormonal swings are so extraordinary and singular to the female experience, and they haven't been taken very seriously or considered very deeply…." Danes shared.

"I mean, postpartum aside, even if you have the most healthy relationship with your child and have support and resources, it's tough. It is really tough."

She added, "And there's no 'off' button. [For me] that was the hardest adjustment. You always feel beholden to somebody. And, for so long they're like koala bears, you just feel a physical responsibility to be there for them to cling to. It's pretty primal."

Per Daily Mail, Danes' last professional outing was at the Tribeca Film Festival, alongside her husband, Dancy, where she had on a gorgeous pink outfit.

The two times Golden Globe award-winner attended the film festival in support of her miniseries "Full Circle." According to Deadline, the six-episode drama is set to hit the big screen later this summer on July 13, with the final two episodes to air on July 27,
