Meredith Hagner's baby bump made its red carpet debut on Wednesday.

The pregnant Search Party actress stepped out with her actor husband, Wyatt Russell in Los Angeles, at the premiere of his new horror movie, Night Swim.

Photographers snapped the pair as they posed at the event, held at the Hotel Figueroa in downtown L.A.

Hagner, 33, sweetly cradled her baby bump, which popped in her long-sleeve, turtleneck black dress. She accessorized her look with a gold purse and matching gold shoes.

Russell coordinated with his wife in a black shirt and tie, which he wore with a bold red suit and brown shoes. The actor and his wife even shared a kiss for onlookers.

In Night Swim, Russell, 37, stars alongside Kerry Condon, Amélie Hoeferle and Gavin Warren. His character, Ray Waller, moves into a house with a pool haunted by an evil spirit. The Universal Pictures movie is directed by Bryce McGuire, with a script by McGuire and Rod Blackhurst.

PEOPLE exclusively revealed in November that Russell and Hagner were expecting their second baby. Hagner announced on Instagram in December the baby is a boy, due in February.

"Deeply, deeply grateful," Hagner captioned a series of black and white photos of her bare baby bump. The pair are already parents to son Buddy Prine, 2½.

The couple have been married for four years. They first connected on set in 2016 while filming Folk Hero & Funny Guy together — following in the footsteps of his parents Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, who hit it off while shooting Swing Shift in 1983. Their engagement came in 2018 before the two tied the knot in September 2019 at Hawn's house in Aspen, Colorado.

They've kept their relationship mostly out of the public eye but since news of Hagner's pregnancy was revealed, she's been sharing more photos, including pictures of their Christmas celebrations.

In November, Hagner shared an essay about motherhood with her followers that she had penned to a friend who was nervous about becoming a first-time mom.

in her note, Hagner reflected on how she she felt "so lonely and tired" in the early days of being a mom, and that the "Isn’t it bliss?” “Aren't you obsessed?” "Aren't you in love?” comments from other moms only added to those feelings.

"I would look back with a dumb blank face feeling like I was a horrible mother for not feeling that instantaneously," she wrote in a lengthy Instagram caption.

"I wish someone had told me how normal that is, and how it's no way indicative of the mother I would be," Hagner wrote. She also noted that the "saccharine oversimplifications" of parenthood "in no way connect to the authentic experience of a wildly nuanced and complex time."

Looking back, Hagner said she wished she had "looked at this time as a surreal hole in the universe" and "tread[ed] lightly" with herself as she adjusted to the changes motherhood brought.
