Hayley Atwell was all smiles as she posed alongside her fiancé Ned Wolfgang Kelly at the TOD event in Venice on Saturday, after sparking pregnancy rumors.

It comes after Hayley sparked pregnancy rumors on Saturday after flying to Venice with her fiancé Ned, a year after accepting his proposal in the Italian city.

The star repeatedly placed a protective hand on her stomach as the couple took selfies and browsed a local market before settling down for an alfresco lunch.
Hayley appears to be taking full advantage of a break in the Mission: Impossible filming schedule as she prepares to begin work on the eighth installment of the long-running franchise with co-star and ex-boyfriend Tom Cruise , who was previously seen on set in London.
Venturing into the historic floating city after arriving for an event hosted by Italian fashion house TOD’S, the British star looked typically elegant in a white coat with distinctive dropped shoulders and double-breasted lapels.
Hayley, best known for her recurring role as thief-turned-IMF agent Grace in the hit spy franchise, completed the look with a black sweater and matching leggings.
Venice appears to be a favorite destination for the couple after Ned – a musician and composer – proposed to Hayley during a previous trip to the city in April 2023.
It has also been used as a backdrop for the Mission: Impossible franchise, most notably during the extended filming of Dead Reckoning Part One amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Confirming their engagement last April, Ned told his Instagram followers: “I’m lucky. Arriving in Venice at 10 a.m., around noon, the love of my life and I got engaged in the kitchen of this strange apartment surrounded by ducks, with a guy outside the window murdering “My Way” on the accordion.
“A perfect start to the rest of our lives together.” I never wanted to get married… until I met this extraordinary woman. Happy as a clam.
Hayley and Ned have kept their relationship out of the public eye and are rarely photographed together.
The star repeatedly placed a protective hand on her stomach as the couple took selfies and browsed a local market before settling down for an alfresco lunch.
Hayley’s former relationship with Mission: Impossible co-star Tom Cruise ended in 2022
The London-based artist’s Instagram bio states that he “doesn’t eat animals” and has been “drug and alcohol free for over a decade.”
Ned’s website states that he has produced commercial music for major brands such as Bud Light, Headspace and Samsung.
He has also produced film music, worked on the design of various projects and written articles.
Speaking to The Sun shortly after the relationship was announced, a source said: “Hayley’s happiness is written all over her face right now. They get along like a house on fire and make a very beautiful couple.
Hayley has reportedly split from her Mission: Impossible co-star Tom for the second time in 2022.
A source said: “Unfortunately it didn’t work out for them. They have now decided that they are better as friends.
The insider also revealed that the fanfare around the couple after going public was too much to handle.
“They get along really well and have fantastic chemistry, which is why they decided to quietly give their relationship another try earlier this year.
“What worked behind closed doors didn’t work so well when it was made public, and the fanfare around them as a couple exploded again,” the source said.
The source also insisted the couple’s romance was “genuine”, saying “Despite some rumors to the contrary, it was never just for the cameras.”
Hayley and Tom began dating in 2020 after meeting on the set of Mission: Impossible 7, and were first reported in December.
Tom, who plays Ethan Hunt in the popular franchise, spent much of the last year shooting the film across the UK, as well as in Rome, Venice and Norway.
Although the two never expressly confirmed their romance, they reportedly became “pretty inseparable” after “hitting it off from day one” on the film.
However, by September, the relationship reportedly “ran its course” for the couple.
An insider told The Sun: “It’s been a very intense period of filming together. They used to get along really well, but as the last movie comes to an end, they decided to become friends again.
“Their filming schedules are very busy, and Tom has a number of other commitments coming up and is always filming by helicopter and private jet, so it has run its course.
“But they are always happy to work together. It’s a shame, but it’s just one of those things. They always get along well.
