The couple has been spotted together at various events and international trips, fueling rumours of their relationship. Despite these sightings, both actors had not publicly confirmed their relationship until now. It is also speculated that the couple is expected to get married later this year.
Chaitanya was previously married to Samantha Ruth Prabhu. They separated in 2021 after four years of marriage. On the work front, Chaitanya is currently involved in the project “Thandel,” which has been paused due to the engagement.
