Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty and Indian cricketer KL Rahul have excitedly announced that they are expecting their first child, with a due date set for 2025. The couple, who got married in January 2023 after several years of dating, shared the joyous news with their followers on social media on Thursday, 8 November.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Athiya and Rahul expressed their excitement with a beautiful graphic that read, “Our beautiful blessing is coming soon.” The graphic featured baby footprints, sparkling stars, and a protective evil eye symbol, adding a touch of warmth and positivity to the announcement. The couple kept their message simple, accompanying the post with a white heart emoji to celebrate the special moment.
The news has sparked an outpouring of congratulations from their fans, friends, and colleagues across both the entertainment and sports industries. As one of Bollywood’s most adored couples, Athiya Shetty, the daughter of actor Suniel Shetty, and KL Rahul, a prominent figure in Indian cricket, have long captured the public’s attention, both for their individual achievements and as a pair.
Just a few days before the announcement, Athiya celebrated her 32nd birthday, with Rahul sharing a series of intimate photos and a heartfelt message on social media. He affectionately referred to his wife as his “craziee birthday baby” and expressed deep gratitude for the love and balance she brings into his life.
KL Rahul has previously shared how his marriage to Athiya has had a positive influence on his cricket career, providing him with the emotional support and stability needed to perform at his best. He has praised his wife for being a source of love and peace, helping him stay focused both on and off the field.
Athiya Shetty, who made her Bollywood debut in 2015 with Hero alongside Sooraj Pancholi, has since made her mark in the industry. Her most recent appearance was in the 2019 film Motichoor Chaknachoor, where she starred opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
The couple’s fans are now eagerly looking forward to the arrival of their first child in 2025, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in their cherished love story.
