In February 2015, Headey announced that she was pregnant with her second child, but has refused to confirm who the father is. "Im happy to confirm that Im having my second child this summer," she released in a statement, before requesting for the press to honour her privacy. Headey has been heavily linked with a romantic involvement with fellow Game of Thrones star Pedro Pascal, who played Oberyn Martell, though any relationship that may have happened has not been confirmed.
