She said that she kept the news of her pregnancy off social media, but announced the birth of her son in a slightly different way.The on-screen star took to Instagram on August 18 and uploaded a picture in black and white of a small hand holding her own.She reminded fans that she was not hiding her pregnancy, just that she preferred to be less clear about her personal life when it came to anyone outside of her immediate close friends and family.Caitriona said: “It’s not like I was hiding my pregnancy.“Everybody at work knew, all of my friends knew, anyone I came into contact with in my life knew.“But in terms of putting that out there, I don’t see the value in that.“I think there’s certain things that are nice to have for yourself.”Caitriona has been happily married to Scottish music manager Anthony McGill since their wedding in 2019.She also recently discussed how she had a difficult time during her pregnancy.Before working as an actress, the star was a catwalk model for high end fashion designers such as Channel and Givenchy.She gave an interview with Elle in December where she spoke about how she was pregnant for the entire sixth season of filming.She said: “Pregnant for the entire season, yeah!”The star added that she felt she could have timed things better.“I could’ve probably timed things a little better.

But these things happen when they do,” Caitriona explained.The next season of Outlander will be just as difficult a ride within the show’s plot as it was for the actress during her pregnancy.The new series will begin with the American Revolution making more trouble for Claire and Jamie (played by Sam Heughan)..
