Popular South Indian actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu is expecting her first child with her film director husband Raj Nidimoru, reports said. The actress was recently seen with what appeared to be a baby bump, and the news has been circulating on social media. The couple got married at an intimate ceremony at Isha Yoga Centre, Coimbatore, on 1 December 2025, and have not made any official announcement about the pregnancy to date. But it was revealed by several media outlets that the actress is indeed pregnant and the couple are excited to have their first baby.
They were first caught on camera in the web series, Citadel: Honey Bunny, released in late 2024, where they collaborated for the first time. Soon their professional relationship evolved into a friendship, and they opted to take the next step: marriage, in a private ceremony with close family and friends. Keeping things low-key and away from the glitz and glitter of a Bollywood marriage, the wedding was a simple affair conducted at the Linga Bhairavi temple. Ever since then, fans have been closely monitoring their progress and the pregnancy announcement has only intensified their excitement.
The actress has faced a lot of events in her life and career in the last few years. Samantha finally stepped back from the glamour to get fit after her highly publicised divorce from actor Naga Chaitanya in 2021, when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, dermatomyositis, in 2022. She bounced back with some projects, notably the Amazon Prime series Citadel: Honey Bunny, for which she was commended for her action-packed performance. Her recent acting venture also received positive reviews with the film “Subham,” which proves that Samantha is able to manage her acting career and her new job as a producer.
The pair hasn’t spoken about the pregnancy rumours yet, but sources close to them have been saying that there could be an official announcement soon. Many fans expect Samantha to announce the news her own way and on her own time, as she has always been very open with her fans on social media regarding her life. For now, her well-wishers and fans across the country are sending love and congratulations to the couple as they prepare to embark on this new chapter of their lives.
