Actor Athiya Shetty and cricketer KL Rahul have stepped into a new phase of their lives—parenthood! The couple has welcomed their baby girl and shared the heartwarming news with their fans on March 24 via social media.
Celebrities flooded the comments section with best wishes. Kiara Advani, who is pregnant with her first child with Sidharth Malhotra, dropped many heart emojis, followed by Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, Aditi Rao Hydari, Ayesha Shroff, Krishna Shroff, and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, among others.
Athiya’s Pregnancy Journey
Throughout her pregnancy, Athiya delighted fans with glimpses of her journey, including a stunning maternity shoot with her husband. Just a few days ago, the duo posted breathtaking pictures on Instagram, announcing their excitement.
Captioning the post “Oh, baby.”, the photos captured intimate moments between the soon-to-be parents. In one image, Athiya sat gracefully on a couch while KL Rahul rested his head on her lap. Another showed the actress in a white t-shirt and unbuttoned denim jeans, proudly flaunting her baby bump. A particularly touching moment was when Rahul gently placed his hand on Athiya’s belly, symbolizing their love and anticipation.
The Couple’s Pregnancy Announcement
Athiya and KL Rahul had officially announced their pregnancy in November 2024, sharing the joyous news with the caption: “Our beautiful blessing is coming soon. 2025”, accompanied by tiny feet and evil eye emojis.
Rumors of Athiya’s pregnancy initially surfaced in April 2024, when her father, Suniel Shetty, made a cryptic “nana” (grandfather) comment on a reality show, sparking widespread speculation. However, at that time, the couple had dismissed the reports.
A Love Story That Led to Parenthood
Athiya and KL Rahul’s love story began in 2019, when they met through a mutual friend. After dating for nearly four years, the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Suniel Shetty’s Alibaug farmhouse in January 2023.
Now, with the arrival of their little one, the couple embarks on an exciting new chapter. Fans and well-wishers are showering them with love and blessings as they embrace parenthood.
