From a sweet Instagram reveal featuring little Dua to a growing family full of love, the power couple shares their next big chapter with fans.

2026 keeps getting more and more festive. While some couples are declaring their love and announcing their weddings, others are stepping into the new phase of their married life: parenthood. And then there are couples who are stepping into parenthood all over again and doing it in absolute style. After Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have now announced their second child.
Taking to their social media handles on Instagram, the couple announced the news on Sunday through a joint post. The sweet picture shows their daughter, Dua, holding a positive pregnancy test kit and Deepika captioned the post with two evil eye emoticons to ward off any negative energies. The post was quick to garner widespread attention as their fans and well-wishers dropped their heartiest congratulations in the comment section.
The couple had previously announced the birth of their first baby girl on September 8, 2024. They had made the announcement with another adorable post on their Instagram handle. In the joint post, the couple had written, "Welcome baby girl. 8-9-2024. Deepika & Ranveer (sic)."
At the WAVES 2025 summit, Deepika had talked about how welcoming a child had reshaped her priorities and had shifted her focus from her years of career-driven life to focusing on caring for "another human being."
She had said that motherhood had been particularly life-altering for her, keep her grounded and deeply emotional, making her more appreciative of everyday moments. Further she had revealed that she wanted her daughter to have a normal childhood without the intense scrutiny that the celebrities and their children have to face.
Deepika and Ranveer had tied the knot on November 14, 2018, in a grand celebration that was held at Italy's Lake Como. Their wedding was a two-part celebration that honoured both Deepika's Konkani heritage and Ranveer's Sindhi background. The couple had initially started dating each other during the filming of their movie Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela in 2013 on the sets. And after dating for several years, the couple had secretly gotten engaged in 2015 before they made their wedding plans public in 2018.
