One of the most beautiful couples in Hollywood has welcomed their second child. Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender have been married since 2017 and are very protective of their privacy.

Taylor Russell, who stars alongside Vikander in the new film Hope, showed a lack of discretion. Not much is known about this project yet, only that it is supposed to be an action film with elements of science fiction and requires considerable physical fitness from its cast.

Russell praised her colleague's form, especially since she just gave birth to her second child. This happened during an interview for the British magazine "Elle," so Vikander, if she wanted, could have removed it during authorization. Instead, she shared her thoughts:

“All women have such different experiences, and going through it a second time was definitely harder for me. It’s so physically demanding, and I have so much admiration for any woman who has done it. I gave birth four times on screen before I did it myself.”

Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender: "Some things remain just between us"

The relationship between Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander started unassumingly. The couple met in 2014 on the set of Derek Cianfrance's film "The Light Between Oceans." The actors played a married couple raising a child they rescued from a drifting boat. There was an immediate spark between Alicia and Michael.

Since then, the couple has been inseparable. However, neither he nor she flaunted their relationship. Both were very concerned about their privacy. They got married away from the spotlight. The media found out about the ceremony much later. The media also found out they welcomed their first child when photos of them with a baby at the airport surfaced.

“I think we've made a clear statement that we keep certain things just between us. These are too personal matters to discuss publicly. It was very easy to unite, but that's quite personal." Noted Fassbender, "Each to their own. I'm not going to talk about my private life with a total stranger, unless I feel like I need to. Why would I? I don't."

However, two years ago, the actress made a confession about a miscarriage.

“We have a child now, but it took us time," she stated. “[The miscarriage] was so extreme, painful to go through and, of course, it made me recall making that film.”
