Ileana D'Cruz is embracing motherhood for the second time, and she's sharing her joy with the world. The actress, who is married to Michael Dolan, recently offered a glimpse of her growing baby bump, confirming speculations and delighting fans.
Rumors of a second pregnancy first surfaced around New Year's, when Ileana posted a video recapping her 2024. Eagle-eyed fans spotted a positive pregnancy test in the October segment of the video, leading to a flurry of congratulatory messages. However, Ileana officially confirmed the news a little later, in February 2025, with a witty Instagram story. She posted a picture of her midnight snack, accompanied by antacid chews, and captioned it, "Tell me you're pregnant without telling me you're pregnant."
In a recent Instagram post, Ileana shared a black-and-white photo where she is standing next to a friend, both displaying their baby bumps. Ileana captioned the image "Bump buddies". The actress was dressed in a black outfit.
Ileana's journey to motherhood began in 2023 when she announced her first pregnancy with a picture of a baby onesie, writing, "Coming soon. Can't wait to meet you, my little darling." In August of the same year, she and Michael welcomed their son, Koa Phoenix Dolan, into the world. She shared her joy with fans, expressing that words couldn't capture how happy they were.
In early May 2025, Ileana expressed her desire to raise happy children, emphasizing that she would never want her kids to feel the need to "earn" her love.
On the work front, Ileana was last seen in the romantic comedy-drama "Do Aur Do Pyaar," alongside Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, and Sendhil Ramamurthy. The film was directed by Shirsha Guha Thakurta. She made her acting debut in 2006 with the Telugu film "Devadasu" and has since starred in several successful films in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi.
