Bollywood’s much-loved couple, Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal, are all set to embrace parenthood. After months of speculation, it is now confirmed that Katrina Kaif is pregnant and in the third trimester of her pregnancy. According to close sources, the actress is expected to deliver her first child between October 15 and October 30, 2025.

Though the couple has decided to be tight-lipped about the news, sources indicate that Katrina and Vicky would prefer to keep this milestone under wraps and might officially announce only once the baby is born. For now, they are enjoying this private journey out of the limelight.

The Journey of Katrina and Vicky

Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal tied the knot on December 9, 2021, in a dreamy private ceremony at the Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan. The wedding was an intimate affair attended only by close friends and family. Sharing pictures on social media at the time, the couple wrote:

“Only love and gratitude in our hearts for everything that brought us to this moment. Seeking all your love and blessings as we begin this new journey together.”

Since then, Katrina and Vicky have been one of Bollywood’s most admired couples. Their relationship, even apparent in spontaneous interviews and few public outings, exudes warmth, friendship, and profound understanding.

Vicky Kaushal on Handling Gossip

Speculation about Katrina being pregnant had been around for months. The media and the public have often tried to interpret between the lines whenever Katrina skipped events or stayed in the background.

Earlier this year, while Bad News was being launched with its trailer, Vicky was questioned regarding the pregnancy rumors. With his trademark wit, he replied:

“As far as the good news is concerned, we will be very happy to share it with you, but for now, there is no truth to the speculations. Abhi Bad Newz enjoy kijiye; jab good news ayega, toh hum aapke saath zarur share karenge.”

While that statement temporarily put rumors to rest, the confirmed reports today make it clear that the couple was simply waiting for the right time to share the joy.

Katrina’s View on Equilibrium and Serenity

During a 2023 fan engagement, Katrina gave a glimpse of how she keeps her calm and poised personality. She disclosed that whenever she gets frustrated, she discusses things with Vicky at home.

“I go home and speak for 45 minutes if I am worked up about something. It’s an incredible rant. At times, beech-beech mein, he (Vicky) might say, ‘I didn’t understand this line. You spoke so fast,’ or ‘Your English was accented here.’ I’ll express everything. He listens with so much sincerity and acceptance that you feel like the burden is off your chest, and we forget about it. That’s how I appear—very calm and composed.”

This candid reflection shows the deep companionship that lies at the heart of their marriage, a strong foundation as they step into parenthood.

Plans for Maternity Break

Sources close to the actress have revealed that Katrina Kaif plans to take a long maternity break once the baby arrives. Unlike some celebrity moms who return to sets soon after childbirth, Katrina reportedly wishes to be a hands-on mother and devote her time fully to her baby in the initial months.

The actress has already been staying away from the limelight in recent weeks, further fueling rumors about her pregnancy. Supporters, on the other hand, have shown nothing but encouragement, filling her with wishes and blessings via social media platforms.

On the Work Front

Katrina Kaif was last noticed in Tiger 3 (2023) opposite Salman Khan and Merry Christmas (2024) opposite Vijay Sethupathi, where she delivered a restrained performance. Vicky Kaushal, meanwhile, delivered a record-breaking box-office hit in 2025 with the period epic Chhaava, this year’s biggest blockbuster to date.

With their hectic professional lives, the couple’s choice of family life over their careers has been appreciated by fans and their colleagues as well.

The Road Ahead

As Bollywood’s sweetheart pair is set to welcome their first baby, fan frenzy has never existed at a higher point. Katrina’s pregnancy news is not only a fresh start in their lives but also a time of rejoicing for millions of people who have watched them grow from the initial stages.

While Katrina and Vicky have the choice of keeping low-key until labor time, the love and warm wishes of fans and well-wishers are too real to be perceived. The grace, humility, and warmth of the couple have always been visible to the public eye, and their journey to parenthood too will be filled with the same.”

As we count down to October, the anticipation continues: will it be a Diwali baby for Katrina and Vicky? Time will tell, but one thing is certain: this is the “good news” fans have long been waiting for.
