“Plot twist after 10 years.”
Popular television actress Divyanka Tripathi has confirmed she is expecting her first child with husband Vivek Dahiya after months of speculation.
The couple shared that their baby is due in mid-June 2026, with the delivery planned in Mumbai.
Divyanka revealed they chose to keep the pregnancy private for six months, only confirming the news in mid-March after reports began circulating online.
She said: “Vivek and I wanted the baby only now, we tried and it happened. We are blessed.”
The couple added that both their families are “ecstatic” and that they have no preference regarding the baby’s gender.
The announcement was first made during an interview with journalist Vickey Lalwani, before being widely reported by entertainment outlets.
Divyanka also shared the news on Instagram through a heartfelt post centred on the phrase “Plot twist after 10 years.”
Reflecting on their journey, she wrote that life can add “the most beautiful chapter” just when you feel your story is complete.
She added that they are “still soaking it in” and “still smiling for no reason” as they embrace this new phase.
The post was accompanied by a romantic maternity photoshoot featuring Vivek, celebrating the couple’s milestone with soft, intimate visuals.
Divyanka explained that they managed to keep the pregnancy hidden by maintaining a low profile and skipping public appearances.
She noted that speculation only began when she missed several events, prompting questions from fans and media outlets.
The actress shared that she first told Vivek the news before the couple informed their parents almost immediately afterwards.
Reports place the confirmation between March 18 and 19, 2026, following days of online chatter and fan theories.
At 41, Divyanka joins a growing list of public figures embracing motherhood later in life, including Katrina Kaif, Bharti Singh and Farah Khan.
Her announcement has also sparked conversations about pregnancy in one’s 40s, often referred to as advanced maternal age.
Medical experts note that such pregnancies may require closer monitoring for conditions like gestational diabetes and hypertension.
However, they also stress that many women in their 40s go on to have healthy pregnancies and deliveries.
Divyanka and Vivek married in July 2016 after meeting on the sets of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein.
Fans have long followed their relationship, making the “plot twist after 10 years” especially meaningful for their supporters.
Social media quickly filled with congratulatory messages, fan edits and celebratory posts following the announcement.
Many fans expressed joy, noting that the couple had often been asked about “good news” over the years.
The couple’s update has been widely described as a pleasant surprise, marking a heartfelt new chapter in their decade-long journey together.
