‘Game Of Thrones’ Star Lena Headey Reveals Baby Girl On The Way


Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey, known for playing sinister Cersei Lannister on the smash hit HBO show, today revealed the gender of her baby due in just six short weeks. Headey announced her plans to welcome the baby girl into the world through a blog post for Plan International USA, where she went on to discuss her hopes and dreams for her daughter along with the promises she intends to keep during her lifetime.

The baby girl due in the summer will be Lena’s second child and younger sibling to 4-year-old brother Wylie. In the blog post titled “My Daughter,” Headey describes the freedoms she vows to secure for her daughter, and promises lifetime love and protection in the face of any decision and path her baby girl may choose to take.

“My daughter will have freedom of choice. She will be free to dance, to sing, to be educated in the fields that spark her passion, to marry if she wants, to marry WHO she wants, to remain single, or to fall in love with another woman. She’ll be able to wear what she wants, put on lipstick, and read books that spark debate and expand her mind.”

Lena took advantage of the news and has used the upcoming birth of her daughter to highlight concerns of global inequality. Known to play an active role in humanitarian causes in the past, Headey acknowledges the incredible benefits many of us have been raised with and draws attention to how this is not the case for women around the world.

“Geography dictates my freedom as a woman, geography and the women before us who fought for our equal political voice. The inequality that is all too prevalent all over the world is so great and so frightening. We owe it to our sisters who have no voice, and no chance to be heard, to speak up.”

While electing not to share information regarding the father of her child, rumors are a flurry online suggesting ex co-star Pedro Pascal to be the lucky man. Pascal, known for portraying Oberyn Martell on Game of Thrones, spoke about his adoration for Lena in a Reddit AMA last year. “I think everyone on that set and anyone who comes in contact with her develops an instant crush,” he said, though never confirmed the pair to be a couple. Neither Headey nor Pascal have suggested him to be the father.
