Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty and Indian cricketer KL Rahul are set to welcome their first child in 2025. The couple shared the joyful news on Friday through a joint Instagram post, which garnered a wave of congratulations from fans and the entertainment industry.
Their announcement featured a minimalist design, showcasing a protective evil eye symbol and golden stars. The heartfelt message read, “Our beautiful blessing is coming soon. 2025,” along with tiny footprints to represent the baby’s arrival. The post was signed simply as “Athiya & Rahul,” signaling their shared excitement.
Athiya and KL Rahul have largely kept their relationship away from the public eye. According to reports, they first met in February 2019 through a mutual friend. Despite their growing bond, they chose to keep their connection private for some time. However, speculation about their romance began after designer Vikram Phadnis dropped hints about their relationship on social media, playfully engaging with Athiya in the comments.
The couple eventually made their relationship public, though they continue to maintain a relatively low profile when it comes to their personal lives. They tied the knot in January 2023 in an intimate ceremony attended by close family and friends. Since then, they have occasionally shared glimpses of their life together on social media.
The news of their first child has been met with an outpouring of love from fans and well-wishers. With this new chapter on the horizon, Athiya and KL Rahul’s journey as a couple appears to be taking on a deeper dimension, and their fans are eager to see what lies ahead for them as they embark on this new phase of their lives.
