And a fourth gushed: ‘Oh my god! I'm so excited for you! Your baby will be so beautiful! I hope you will have a wonderful life with your family, because you deserve it.’

'It's definitely something I want for my future,' she said.

'[Playing her character on Handmaid's Tale] has made me wary of starting that process. I just always imagine if I have a child at work - screaming at people or throwing things around - how on earth will that affect something growing inside of me?'

The Australian actress wed her long-time partner Tim in secret last summer.

Revealing to E! News at the 2017 Emmys that she and Tim had tied the knot only months prior, she said of their wedding day: ‘We ended up jumping in the lake in our suit and gown, it was ridiculously hot. But we had a great time.’
