Norman Reedus and fiancée Diane Kruger step out for rare outing with daughter Nova in Manhattan

Norman Reedus and his fiancée Diane Kruger looked every inch the cool parents during a rare outing with their daughter Nova Tennessee on Saturday.

The Walking Dead actor, 54, and the Inglourious Basterds star, 46, were spotted strolling with their four-year-old in Manhattan’s Downtown area.

The father-of-two – who’s been busy filming a spin-off of his zombie show in France – sported a dark button up, grey jeans and black vans for the outing. He opted to shield his eyes with a pair of sunglasses.

Meanwhile the German actress wore a tan blazer over a black top, which she paired with oversized grey jeans and monochrome loafers. 

The couple welcomed Nova in 2018 and got engaged in August 2021. The duo – who officially went public with their romance in March 2017 – originally met back in December 2015 while portraying lovers on the set of their film Sky.

The Cannes best actress winner wore her blonde tresses brushed back into a ponytail.

Diane accessorized with a baby blue purse slung over her shoulder, and appeared to go makeup-free for the day.

Their baby girl stayed warm in a pink hat, a cheetah jacket and blue leggings.

Reedus shared the story about how he proposed to Kruger – and how their daughter helped him – while on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last year.

The Florida-born said: ‘Well, I had the ring for quite a long time in my pocket, just burning a hole in my pocket. Yeah. Trying to find the right way to do it.’

He revealed that while they were home he put their then two-year-old daughter on his lap, so he could ask Kruger to retrieve his boot with the estimated $500K eight-carat ring secretly hidden inside. 

‘I was like, “Can you get my boot? It’s in the closet.” She’s like, “Why?”‘ recalled Norman. 

‘I’m like, “I want to look at the boot” because I had it shoved in the boot. Then I proposed. She started crying, then Nova started crying – everybody’s crying. It was waterworks city. And then Nova’s going, “Why are we crying?!” And then Diane’s going, “It’s happy tears.” She’s like, “Yes, it’s happy tears!”‘

Last year Diane candidly admitted that she didn’t want children for a ‘long time’ and then thought it was too late.

Diane explained that having a child wasn’t her priority when she was younger and she then gave up hope’ in her late 30s because she wasn’t in a place where it was ‘possible’ in an interview with Tatler.

‘In my late thirties, I was starting to think about it but I wasn’t in a place in my relationship at the time – or whatever – where that was going to be a possibility and so I had kind of given up hope and I thought it was just too late.

‘The arrival of Nova has changed my life – our lives – in the best possible way, it’s just amazing that you thought you were one thing but you’re meant to do something completely different,’ she added.

When they originally met on set, Diane was still in a decade-long relationship with Dawson’s Creek alum Joshua Jackson. 

Reedus will mark Kruger’s (born Heidkrüger) second marriage after divorcing Mon idole castmate Guillaume Canet in 2006 following five years of marriage. 

Meanwhile Reedus shares son, Mingus Lucien Reedus, 23, with 90s Danish supermodel  Helena Christensen, 54.

The pair dated for five years, beginning in 1998 before separating in 2003 but have remained happy co-parents.

Last year Mingus pled guilty to disorderly conduct on March 16, after ‘accidentally’ punching an ‘intoxicated’ woman in the face.

He originally faced a misdemeanor assault charge but his attorney Isabelle Kirschner told DailyMail.com that she negotiated with the District Attorney to downgrade the charge to disorderly conduct, which is only a violation in New York City. 

Meanwhile Reedus concluded his role as crossbow-wielding tracker Daryl Dixon in the 11th and final season of the post-apocalyptic zombie drama on AMC last year.

He is next set to appear in a Walking Dead spin-off series, which was announced in September 2020, with principal photography beginning in October 2022 in Paris, France.
