Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru are officially preparing for parenthood. Representatives for the couple confirmed Samantha is in her first trimester, with their first child due in December 2026. The announcement follows weeks of intense fan speculation online.
Rumors began circulating rapidly after fans spotted a visible baby bump in viral fan videos taken during the success party for Maa Inti Bangaaram. The film marks Samantha’s debut under her Tralala Moving Pictures production banner, which has already cleared Rs 15 crore at the box office. Nidimoru worked closely on the project as a creative producer.
The pregnancy news also publicly confirms the couple’s closely guarded marriage. Samantha, 39, and Nidimoru, 46, quietly tied the knot six months ago during a private wedding ceremony on December 1, 2025. The Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha took place at the Linga Bhairavi Temple at Coimbatore’s Isha Yoga Centre, with attendance capped at roughly 30 guests.
The two first connected professionally on the set of the hit Amazon series The Family Man 2. They later reunited for the global spy spinoff Citadel: Honey Bunny before their working relationship shifted into a quiet romance. Samantha was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya, who recently wed Sobhita Dhulipala.
The couple is expected to post a formal announcement to their social media accounts shortly.
