Ready or Not, Samara Weaving and Her Husband Are Expecting Their First Baby!

If you've been watching any films in the past five years, chances are you recognize Samara Weaving. The Australian actress is best known for her horror films such as The Babysitter, Ready or Not, and The Babysitter: Killer Queen, as well as her strong resemblance to fellow Aussie star Margot Robbie. In December 2022 the duo finally shared a screen in Damien Chazelle's Babylon.

Samara's star is on the rise, but what about her personal life? She got engaged to film producer Jimmy Warden in 2019, but the Scream VI actress later revealed they tied the knot in secret. Here's everything you need to know about Samara Weaving's husband and the big project they worked on together.

According to Daily Mail, Samara and her husband Jimmy met on the set of The Babysitter in 2015, where Samara played the leading role and Jimmy was a producer. However, the duo kept their relationship completely under wraps until 2016, when Jimmy began sharing photos of them on Instagram.

Samara, on the other hand, didn't start to post pictures of Jimmy on her social media pages until 2017, likely in a further attempt to keep their relationship private. Speculation that the two were engaged started to generate after Samara posted pictures in 2019 wearing an engagement ring, and as it turns out, the rumors were right!

In May 2022, in conversation with Australian news outlet the Herald Sun, Samara let slip that she and Jimmy had secretly tied the knot by referring to him as her "husband." She said, "I am actually about to go and work with my husband. He has written and is directing a film so I am going to go and do that, which will be really fun."

According to reports, the couple appear to have gotten married in 2019.

The Ready or Not 2 star and Cocaine Bear producer kept their relationship a secret for a while, but Samara couldn't wait to share the news of her pregnancy. In a glamorous photoshoot promoting the horror movie's sequel, Samara showed off her pregnant belly via a post to Instagram dated Dec. 16, 2025.

The comments section was flooded with well-wishes from famous friends which was a thrill to behold. "Sexiest pregnant lady ever" wrote her Ready or Not 2 costar Sarah Michelle Gellar. Fellow Aussie actor Rose Byrne threw out a simple, "Congrats beauty!!" Newly single Nina Dobrev dropped a series of smiley face and heart-on-fire emojis.

Speaking of former Vampire Diaries cast members, Phoebe Tonkin called Samara beautiful and added a sweet double heart emoji. Her husband poped into the comments section with a joke. After congratulating his wife, Jimmy wanted to know who the dad is. The best response came from Samara's other Ready or Not 2 costar, Kathryn Newton, who said there is a "Scream Queen in the oven."
