In a surprising announcement on Thursday, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh shared the joyous news that they are expecting their first child, with the arrival expected in September 2024. The couple took to Instagram to share this special milestone, sparking widespread excitement among fans.
A source close to the couple revealed to The Week that Deepika is currently in the second trimester of her pregnancy. This news comes after Deepika openly expressed her desire to start a family with Ranveer earlier in January 2024 during an interview with Vogue Singapore. She mentioned, “Ranveer and I adore children and are eagerly anticipating the day we begin our family.”
The star of “Pathaan” also reflected on her upbringing and the importance of staying grounded amidst the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry. Deepika, daughter of Prakash and Ujjala Padukone, emphasized the significance of family values, stating, “The industry can easily sweep you off your feet with fame and wealth. However, at home, I am primarily a daughter and a sister, and I wish for it to remain that way. My family helps me stay grounded, and it’s a trait Ranveer and I aim to pass on to our future children.”
Deepika and Ranveer, who have been a couple for six years, tied the knot in 2018 in a picturesque ceremony at Villa del Balbianello, Lake Como, Italy. Their love story began on the set of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s epic love story ‘Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela’. This announcement marks a new chapter in their lives as they prepare to welcome their first child.
