Andie MacDowell's Daughter Rainey Talks Music Gig

Rainey Qualley’s family has grown. 

Andie MacDowell and ex Paul Qualley’s oldest daughter announced the birth of her first baby, whom she shares with partner Anthony Wilson

In a Dec. 17 Instagram post, Rainey—who is sister to Margaret Qualley, 30, and Justin Qualley, 38,—shared several black and white photos of the couple’s newest addition. 

“12/10/24 at 2:21am,” the 35-year-old added in the caption, tagging Anthony’s account. “One week in the world.”

Rainey’s partner—with whom she has been dating publicly since April—simply supported the photo with a blue heart emoji. Later, the photographer shared the photos onto his own Instagram Story adding, “everything that matters most to me in one photo.”

No doubt Margaret—who has been married to record producer Jack Antonoff since 2023—will be celebrating her sister’s new little one. After all, The Substance star recently shared a photo of herself kissing her sister’s baby bump to her own Instagram, emphasizing her excitement for her pregnancy. 

“Balsamic baby salad in the valley,” Margaret cheekily wrote in the caption of the Dec. 8 post. “ I love you so much tiny and teeny tiny.”

Rainey and Anthony’s big news comes three months after the actress debuted her baby bump on social media, in a post of the couple posing in front of the Tower of Pisa in Italy. In one photo, Rainey pops her bump out donning a white exercise onesie, writing in the caption, “This is how babies are made.”

And the musician—who has previously been romantically linked to Lewis Pullman and Kane Ritchotte—did not hold back her excitement toward becoming a mom in the months since. In a subsequent post from September, the couple showed off Rainey’s baby bump again in a sweet garden photo shoot to celebrate a pregnancy milestone. 

In a caption below the photos—which include the model posing topless alongside her partner cradling her bump—Rainey exclaimed, “30 weeks!”
