Claire Danes is a loving mom to sons Cyrus and Rowan as well as daughter Shay. Danes became a mother for the first time in 2012 when she and husband Hugh Dancy welcomed Cyrus. The couple, who wed in 2009, expanded their family in 2018 with the arrival of Rowan. Five years later, Danes, who was 43 at the time, revealed that she was pregnant with baby No. 3. "I think [this is] the last! This one was a surprise," the actress shared during a January 2023 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "This pregnancy happened to me, but we're thrilled Cyrus is 10 and Rowan is 4, so it's going to be quite a big span there." Danes and Dancy welcomed Shay in July 2023. Keep scrolling for a complete guide on Danes and Dancy's three kids: Son Cyrus Cyrus is Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy's eldest son. He was born in December 2012. Following Cyrus' arrival, Danes opened up about what surprised her about being a first-time mom. "I can't read. I can't watch a show. I can't do anything but stare at him doing nothing," she said. "It is amazing how rapidly he changes. I swear, a day passes and he is different. I mean, he produced four teeth in about three days. He understands the concept of no now. He didn't know that two days ago." When Danes was pregnant with Rowan in 2018, the actress shared that Cyrus was "excited" to become a big brother. "He's excited and showing a little ambivalence too," Danes said during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show at the time. Son Rowan Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy welcomed Rowan in August 2018. Danes later revealed that she did two rounds of IVF to conceive Rowan. When Danes learned she was expecting Shay, the Emmy winner confessed that Rowan was having a difficult time coping with the idea of having a younger sibling. "[Our oldest] Cyrus was sort of resigned to it. I mean, the worst has already happened, his name is Rowan," Danes quipped during a 2023 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "But Rowan has more to lose, like, he has more at stake. And he was categorically opposed to the idea. He said, 'Yeah, no no no, I don't like it. I like peace, Mama.' I was like, 'That's rich because that dude does not shut up.'" Daughter Shay Claire Danes revealed her pregnancy at the 2023 Golden Globes. Later that year, she welcomed her daughter. While appearing on Amy Poehler's "Good Hang" podcast, Danes revealed that her daughter's name was Shay. "I love watching toddlers dance, when they jump [and] do the bouncing thing," she said. "And Shay, my baby, she's very in her head and dreamy and sometimes she'll do this kind of [head-swaying] dance. I'm like, 'That's fabulous.'" In that same interview, Danes opened up about what a surprise it was for her to be pregnant in her mid-40s. "It was a pure, like, meltdown," Danes admitted, adding, "I didn't know it was physically possible. I was 44."
