Bollywood’s power couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are now parents to a baby girl. The couple drove to a hospital in Girgaon, Mumbai, around 7:30 am yesterday. Ranbir’s mother Neetu Kapoor, and Alia’s mother Soni Razdan and her sister Shaheen Bhatt were also present at the hospital.

On Sunday morning, Alia shared the news of their daughter’s arrival, writing on her Instagram Stories, “And in the best news of our lives, our baby is here. . . and what a magical girl she is. We are officially bursting with love – and blessed and obsessed parents!!!!! (sic)”

Apparently, Ranbir and Alia began dating when they started shooting for Brahmastra in 2018 and tied the knot on April 14 this year in an intimate wedding ceremony at their Bandra home, with just their family and close friends in attendance. On June 27, Alia surprised everyone when she shared a picture from an ultrasound session on social media and wrote, “Our baby …. . coming soon (sic). ”

Alia announced in June that she’s expecting her first child. After wrapping up the shoot of her Hollywood debut, Heart of Stone, she dived into Brahmastra promotions. She has also set maternity fashion goals on the go, especially with her ‘Baby on Board’ gharara.

In 2014, Alia revealed that she first met Ranbir on sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black, when she was just 11.

In January 2018, they crossed paths on the sets of Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra, which marked their first project together. The duo instantly hit it off.

In May 2018, they made their first appearance as a couple at Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and Anand Ahuja’s reception in Mumbai.

In March 2019, the actor made Ranbir blush when she said “I love you” to him at an award function. Later in the year, she posted an adorable message on Ranbir’s birthday, calling him her “sunshine”.

In 2020, Ranbir said during an interview that had the pandemic not hit, he would’ve been married to Alia already.

In November 2021, the couple’s Diwali snap broke the internet.

In April this year, after much speculation, Alia and Ranbir got married in their house in the presence of their families and close friends.
