Joel’s upcoming role comes after The Daily Telegraph reported in February that his partner Christine Centenera is pregnant with their first child. 

A source told the publication that the actor and the Vogue Australia fashion director had been trying to fall pregnant for some time.

It will be the first child for the notoriously private couple, who started dating back in 2018.
