The couple’s love story has always fascinated fans.
Bollywood power couple Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal are reportedly expecting their first child, with sources revealing the baby is due later this year.
The pair, who tied the knot on December 9, 2021, have remained tight-lipped about the news despite months of speculation circulating across social media and entertainment portals.
According to NDTV, sources confirmed that the actors are preparing to embrace parenthood soon.
However, neither Katrina nor Vicky has issued an official announcement yet.
At 42, Katrina Kaif is expected to take a long maternity break once the baby arrives.
She has been keeping a notably low profile recently.
The couple’s love story has always fascinated fans.
It began in 2018 when Katrina told Karan Johar on Koffee With Karan that she would “look good with Vicky Kaushal on screen.”
Vicky’s dramatic reaction, where he jokingly pretended to faint after hearing the comment, was replayed on a later episode and sparked excitement among viewers.
Their first formal meeting reportedly took place at filmmaker Zoya Akhtar’s house in 2019.
The same year, they appeared together in Film Companion’s TapeCast series.
During the interview, they introduced themselves on camera, with Katrina calling it a “great place to meet each other,” while Vicky noted it was their first proper conversation.
Romance rumours began circulating after they were seen together at Sonam Kapoor’s Diwali party in 2019.
Subtle social media hints soon followed, fuelling further speculation.
One of the biggest moments came when Katrina posted a picture on Instagram leaning on someone wearing a mustard T-shirt, which fans quickly linked to Vicky Kaushal.
During the COVID-19 lockdown, the duo were regularly spotted visiting each other’s homes, further convincing fans of their budding relationship.
Finally, in December 2021, the couple confirmed their love story by posting wedding photos from their private three-day celebration at Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan.
Since then, speculation about Katrina’s pregnancy has surfaced multiple times, but the couple has consistently chosen silence.
Now, reports suggest the long-running rumours are true.
As Vicky Kaushal, 37, continues working on major projects like Chhaava, and Katrina enjoys success with Merry Christmas alongside Vijay Sethupathi, their personal life takes centre stage.
Sources close to the couple revealed Katrina intends to be a hands-on mother, with plans to step away from films temporarily to focus on family life.
With Bollywood fans eagerly awaiting confirmation, Katrina and Vicky’s new journey marks another milestone in their high-profile yet private relationship.
