deepika padukone — GB news

Deepika Padukone announced her second pregnancy with Ranveer Singh on April 18, 2026, via Instagram.

The couple shared a touching photo of their daughter, Dua Padukone Singh, holding a positive pregnancy test. Dua is currently 18 months old and was born on September 8, 2024.

Before this announcement, there was speculation about whether Deepika would expand her family. In a 2013 interview, she expressed a desire to have three children. Now, that dream is taking shape.

Deepika and Ranveer have been married since November 14, 2018. Their relationship began on the sets of “Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela” in 2013. The couple’s bond has only strengthened over the years.

Yet, the journey to parenthood hasn’t been straightforward for Deepika. She faced challenges with endometriosis before successfully undergoing IVF treatments for conception.

As of midday April 18, both Deepika and Ranveer are experiencing a surge of excitement and joy. Deepika recently stated, “I’m discovering this new life post-embracing motherhood.” Her words reflect the profound changes that come with raising a child.

Ranveer Singh is also riding high on recent success with his film “Dhurandhar 2.” The couple’s professional lives continue to flourish alongside their growing family.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding how this pregnancy will affect Deepika’s upcoming projects, including her starring role in the film “King” alongside Shah Rukh Khan.
