Czech actress Eliška Křenková, known for her roles in the television series Bratři a sestry and Ulice, is expecting her first child, she revealed this week. The announcement came after months of keeping the pregnancy private, shared through a video accompanying an interview with a fashion magazine.
Křenková, 36, displayed a visibly advanced pregnancy in the video, prompting an outpouring of congratulatory messages from colleagues and fans. Actress Michaela Tomešová, a mother of two, commented on social media, calling the news “a blessing,” while Patricie Solaříková remarked on how well Křenková’s pregnancy suited her. Zora Hejdová and Veronika Arichteva likewise offered their congratulations. Lenka Krobotová expressed surprise at the announcement.
Throughout her career, Křenková has maintained a degree of privacy regarding her personal life, with even close colleagues often unaware of her romantic relationships, according to reports. This latest development has come as a surprise to many within the Czech entertainment industry.
Křenková’s acting credits include roles in Czech films and series, with a career trajectory that has moved from commercial successes to critically acclaimed performances. She received a Czech Lion Award for her supporting role in the 2018 film Všechno bude. She is often described as a minimalist in her approach to public life.
Details regarding the father of the child have not been publicly disclosed. Křenková herself is not actively engaged on social media, making the announcement through the magazine’s platforms.
