The couple’s post drew thousands of comments within hours. One fan wrote, “Congratulations 🫶🏻🧿,” while another added, “Wow wow ❤️ congratulations.”
Rumours and confirmation
Speculation about Kaif’s pregnancy had been circulating for months. A viral Reddit post earlier this year shared a photo of the couple with baby footprints, predicting that the child would arrive in October or November 2025. NDTV later reported similar claims from a source close to the couple.
The same source suggested that Katrina plans to take an extended maternity break to focus on motherhood.
Recent public appearances
In recent weeks, photos of Katrina on set with a visible baby bump had sparked widespread attention. She was seen wearing a brown dress during filming, prompting discussion across social media even before the official announcement.
Their careers
Both actors have kept busy professionally. Vicky Kaushal appeared earlier this year in Chhaava, where he portrayed Maratha king Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. He will next star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
Katrina Kaif was last seen in Merry Christmas (2024), directed by Sriram Raghavan and co-starring Vijay Sethupathi.
