Pregnancy announcement in September

A new chapter in their love story
Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal tied the knot in December 2021 in a private ceremony at Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan. The intimate affair was attended by close friends and family, with limited photographs shared with the public. Since then, the couple has maintained a low profile about their personal lives, choosing to share major milestones directly with their fans.
Over the years, their relationship has been hailed as one of the most graceful and grounded partnerships in Bollywood, balancing fame with privacy.
Katrina to take maternity break
On the professional front, Katrina Kaif was last seen in ‘Merry Christmas’ opposite Vijay Sethupathi, which received positive reviews for her performance. Reports suggest that Katrina will be taking a long maternity break to focus on her new role as a mother and enjoy this special phase of her life.
Industry insiders say the actress plans to return to work only after spending sufficient time with her newborn and family.
Vicky Kaushal riding high on success
Meanwhile, Vicky Kaushal, who delivered one of the biggest hits of 2025 with ‘Chhaava’, continues to be one of the most sought-after actors in Bollywood. His performance in the period action drama earned critical and commercial acclaim.
Vicky will next be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming project ‘Love And War’, alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. Filming for the project is expected to resume later this year.
Fans celebrate ‘Baby Kaushal’ arrival
As the news spread across platforms, fans of both actors — affectionately called “VicKat” fans — took to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to celebrate. Memes, fan art, and digital posters featuring the newborn flooded timelines, with many calling it “the happiest news of the year.”
Messages like “Baby Kaushal has arrived!” and “Welcome to the world, little star!” trended for hours, making the announcement one of the top social media moments of the day.
The arrival of the baby boy marks a new beginning for the couple, who expressed deep gratitude to their fans for their constant love and blessings. As they step into parenthood, the duo is being widely praised for handling fame and family with poise, warmth, and simplicity.
