Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu is expecting her first child with filmmaker-husband Raj Nidimoru. The news comes a little over six months after the pair tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Coimbatore.

An insider source tells HT City, “Yes, it is true. The couple is truly delighted about this new beginning, and they will make an announcement in some time.”

The buzz began Saturday evening after videos from the success celebrations of Samantha’s latest film, Maa Inti Bangaaram, surfaced on social media. Dressed in a fitted T-shirt and denims (see right), the actor sparked pregnancy speculation, prompting us to reach out to sources, who confirmed the news.

Both Samantha and Raj were previously married before tying the knot in December 2025. Samantha was earlier married to actor Naga Chaitanya, while Raj was married to Shhyamali De.

Samantha and Raj got married on December 1, 2025, at the Linga Bhairavi temple within the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore. The private ceremony was attended by close family members and friends, with the couple choosing to keep celebrations low-key. Pictures from the wedding were later shared online, confirming months of speculation about their relationship.

The couple first collaborated professionally while working on projects such as The Family Man and later Citadel: Honey Bunny. Over time, reports of a growing bond between the actor and filmmaker surfaced, though both remained guarded.

The pregnancy news arrives during a busy phase in Samantha's career. Her latest, Maa Inti Bangaaram has opened to good reviews.
