Bollywood’s beloved couple Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal have welcomed their first child — a baby boy, marking the beginning of a new and joyous chapter in their lives. The announcement, made on Friday via social media, quickly sent fans and fellow celebrities into a wave of celebration.

Taking to Instagram, the couple shared a heartfelt post that read, “Our bundle of joy has arrived. With immense gratitude, we welcome our baby boy. 7th November, 2025.” The touching announcement was accompanied by a tender photo of Vicky lovingly cradling Katrina’s baby bump, perfectly encapsulating the couple’s journey into parenthood.

Katrina and Vicky, who tied the knot in a private yet picturesque ceremony in Rajasthan in December 2021, have long been adored for their chemistry and grace both on and off-screen. Their joint statement expressed sheer happiness: “On our way to start the best chapter of our lives with hearts full of joy and gratitude.”

Rumors of Katrina’s pregnancy had been circulating for months, with subtle hints dropped across social media. The speculation intensified after the couple’s September 23 post, where they shared a photo with the caption, “On our way to start the best chapter of our lives with hearts full of joy and gratitude.” Fans and tabloids were quick to connect the dots, eagerly anticipating confirmation.

The couple’s inner circle also played a part in fueling curiosity. A particularly cryptic birthday message from Vicky’s brother, Sunny Kaushal, read: “Thank you. The best thing is coming very very soon,” which fans now recognize as a subtle nod to the pregnancy.

At 42, Katrina Kaif’s graceful embrace of motherhood has inspired many. In past interviews, the actress spoke candidly about her dreams of raising children in a nurturing environment, emphasizing the importance of a strong family foundation. Her heartfelt reflections have added even more depth to this milestone, making the moment all the more meaningful for her admirers.

The Bollywood fraternity was quick to shower the couple with love. Bipasha Basu commented, “Congratulations to both of you, love to the little bundle of joy,” while Maniesh Paul added, “Big big congratulations to both of you and the entire family.” Fans echoed the sentiment with thousands of messages filled with affection, calling the couple’s son “Bollywood’s new lucky charm.”

A few eagle-eyed fans even noticed a special numerological pattern linking the family: “Katrina – 16th July – 7, Vicky – 16th May – 7, and their child – 7th November – 7. Love how everyone is number 7!” one user wrote.

With their first child’s arrival, Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal have become the heartwarming center of Bollywood’s latest fairytale — a story filled with love, gratitude, and the joy of new beginnings.
