Bollywood actors Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif have officially announced that they are expecting their first child, ending months of speculation and fan anticipation.
The couple took to Instagram to share the happy news, posting a photo in which Vicky is seen gently holding Katrina’s baby bump. The caption read: “On our way to start the best chapter of our lives with hearts full of joy and gratitude.”
The announcement has been met with widespread congratulations from fans and celebrities alike. Although the couple has not disclosed many details, several media reports suggest that Katrina is currently in her third trimester, with the baby expected to arrive in October 2025.
Vicky and Katrina, often referred to by fans as “VickKat,” got married on December 9, 2021, in a highly private ceremony at the Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan. Their relationship was largely kept away from the public eye until the wedding, which was attended by close friends and family members under strict confidentiality.
The couple reportedly met for the first time around 2018–2019 at a party hosted by filmmaker Zoya Akhtar. However, it was their playful on-stage interaction during an award show that first sparked public interest.
Vicky Kaushal later revealed on Koffee With Karan that he proposed to Katrina just a day before the wedding. The proposal happened during a quiet dinner at their resort in Rajasthan, adding a personal and spontaneous touch to their love story. “It was last-minute,” he admitted, explaining that both had been occupied with wedding preparations.
Rumors about Katrina’s pregnancy have been circulating for months, fueled by her absence from public events and noticeable wardrobe changes. Speculation reached a peak in mid-2025, when paparazzi photos appeared to show the actress with a visible baby bump during a brand shoot in London.
According to sources cited by several entertainment portals, the couple has been spending more time away from the spotlight in recent months. Vicky has reportedly scaled back work commitments, and Katrina has not signed any major film projects since wrapping up her last shoot earlier this year.
The couple have not yet revealed the baby’s gender.
