Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal's Love Journey to Parenthood
Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal tied the knot in December 2021 in a beautiful private ceremony at Six Senses Fort Barwara, Rajasthan.
The dreamy wedding marked the culmination of a love story that began formally in 2019 at a film awards ceremony and blossomed into a romantic relationship a year later, though they chose to keep their relationship private from the intense public spotlight.
Before this official announcement, rumors of Katrina Kaif's pregnancy had been circulating for months, becoming a hot topic on various online forums and social media platforms.
“Women are born with a finite number of eggs"
Some signs fueling speculation include Vicky Kaushal's solo appearances at several public events, as well as Katrina Kaif's decision not to take on any new acting roles after her film "Merry Christmas," which releases in 2024.
The arrival of Katrina's sister, Isabel Kaif, and her brother in Mumbai also further fueled speculation that the couple would soon announce something important.
Katrina Kaif is expected to give birth between October and November 2025.
Kaif, who turned 42 this July, instilled strength and hope in women, showing them that it's never too late to become a mother. Dr. Aswati Nair, Fertility Consultant, Nova IVF Fertility, New Delhi, highlighted how women's fertility levels change with age.
“Women are born with a finite number of eggs, and the ovaries contain all the eggs. Therefore, it signifies the women’s health pregnancy window is shorter than that of men, who can even father a child at a later age,” she told indianexpress.com.
