Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra's romance has blossomed from reel life to real life, captivating fans with their endearing journey. Their love story, which began with subtle hints and private moments, has now reached a new chapter with the arrival of their first child, a baby girl, on July 15, 2025.
Their story reportedly started at the wrap-up party for the film 'Lust Stories' in 2018. Though sparks flew early on, the couple kept their relationship under wraps for a while. It wasn't until they shared the screen in the 2021 film Shershaah that rumors of their relationship began to surface. Their on-screen chemistry as Vikram Batra and Dimple Cheema was undeniable, and fans couldn't help but speculate about their off-screen dynamic.
Despite the growing buzz, Kiara and Sidharth remained private, offering only subtle hints about their relationship. They vacationed in South Africa in 2019, sharing similar backgrounds in their photos, which led fans to connect the dots. On separate episodes of Koffee With Karan in 2022, Kiara admitted they were "more than close friends," while Sidharth expressed his hope for a "happy future" with her.
In January 2023, Kiara finally made their relationship Instagram official with a birthday post for Sidharth. A month later, on February 7, 2023, the couple tied the knot in a dreamy ceremony at the Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. The wedding was an intimate affair, attended by close friends and family, including celebrities like Shahid Kapoor, Mira Rajput, and Karan Johar. The couple shared heartwarming photos from their wedding on Instagram, with the caption, "Ab humari permanent booking hogayi hai".
Since their marriage, Kiara and Sidharth have been more open about their love, sharing photos and videos online and attending public events together. They celebrated their first anniversary in February 2024 with a horse-riding session, sharing matching photos on Instagram with the caption, "It's not the journey or the destination it's the company that matters". To celebrate their second anniversary, Kiara shared a fun video montage, while Sidharth posted unseen wedding photos, including one where he revealed a "K" hidden in his mehendi. He captioned it: “Officially branded as yours forever!”.
In February 2025, the couple announced they were expecting their first child with a sweet Instagram post featuring their hands holding tiny baby socks. The caption read, "The greatest gift of our lives. Coming soon". On July 16, 2025, they announced the arrival of their baby girl, stating, "Our hearts are full and our world forever changed. We are blessed with a Baby Girl”. The baby was born on July 15, 2025, at Reliance Hospital in Mumbai.
Kiara once revealed that what drew her to Sidharth was that she felt "at home" with him. Their journey, from Shershaah to parenthood, has been a beautiful tale of love, commitment, and authentic connection.
