The announcement, made on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, has sent waves of excitement through the entertainment industry and among their vast fanbase, marking the beginning of a significant new chapter for the beloved duo.
A Cherished Announcement
The couple shared their pregnancy news through a beautifully coordinated Instagram post on their respective social media accounts.

Navigating Months of Speculation
The official confirmation followed months of fervent speculation and rumors that had been circulating within media circles and among fans. These whispers intensified following certain public appearances and viral social media posts, including a picture of Kaif from a photoshoot where her baby bump was noticeable. Earlier, during the trailer launch of his film ‘Bad Newz’, Vicky Kaushal had addressed the pregnancy buzz, stating that while they would be thrilled to share any genuine ‘good news’, the current rumors were unfounded. Known for their preference for privacy, the couple chose to remain silent on the matter, allowing them to share their personal milestone when they felt ready, reflecting their consistent approach to keeping their personal lives away from excessive public scrutiny.
Industry and Fanular Celebrations
The pregnancy announcement was met with an immediate and overwhelming wave of congratulations from colleagues, friends, and fans alike. Bollywood stars, including Janhvi Kapoor, Ayushmann Khurrana, Sonam Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Tamannaah Bhatia, Arjun Kapoor, and Kiara Advani, were among the many who took to social media to shower the couple with blessings and warm wishes. Social media platforms were abuzz with the news, highlighting the immense popularity and affection the couple enjoys. This joyful news is being celebrated as one of the most significant personal milestones for a Bollywood couple this year.
Their Love Story and Journey to Parenthood
Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal’s relationship has captivated audiences since they first reportedly met at a party hosted by filmmaker Zoya Akhtar in 2019. Their connection reportedly gained momentum after Katrina mentioned Vicky on the popular chat show ‘Koffee with Karan,’ which he playfully acknowledged, fueling early speculation. The couple managed to keep their relationship private for a considerable period. They eventually tied the knot on December 9, 2021, in a grand yet intimate wedding ceremony held at the Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan. Since their marriage, they have continued to share glimpses of their happy life, always balancing their public careers with their cherished private moments.
Looking Ahead: A New Beginning
With the announcement of their impending parenthood, attention has also turned towards their professional lives. Reports suggest that Katrina Kaif, who is reportedly in her third trimester with an expected delivery between October and November 2025, plans to take an extended maternity break to focus on her child and embrace motherhood wholeheartedly. Vicky Kaushal, whose recent film ‘Chhaava’ was a major success, has upcoming projects like ‘Love and War’ lined up. Katrina was last seen in the 2024 film ‘Merry Christmas’. For now, however, the focus is firmly on their journey into parenthood, embarking on what they describe as “the best chapter of our lives.”
