The wave of joyous baby news in the Indian film industry continues. After Bollywood’s Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani shared their pregnancy announcement in February 2025, South stars Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi have now revealed that they too are expecting their first child.
The couple, who tied the knot in a grand destination wedding in Tuscany, Italy, in November 2023, are ready to embark on the beautiful journey of parenthood. On Tuesday, the soon-to-be parents took to Instagram to share the happy news with their fans and followers.
Adorable Announcement Wins the Internet
In their announcement photo, Varun and Lavanya are seen standing hand-in-hand, with a tiny pair of baby shoes hanging from Varun’s fingers. The heartwarming caption read, “The most beautiful role of our lives… coming soon.”
The post quickly went viral, drawing love and congratulatory messages from fans and film industry friends alike. Actress Rakul Preet Singh commented, “OMG! Congratulations!” Sneha Reddy, wife of Allu Arjun, and actor Srinivas Bellamkonda also extended their wishes. Aditi Rao Hydari reacted with a virtual hug, showing her excitement for the couple.
A Look Back at Their Fairytale Wedding
Varun and Lavanya, who dated for a while before tying the knot, had a traditional Hindu wedding in Tuscany that was nothing short of a fairytale. The ceremony was attended by prominent names from the Telugu film industry including Ram Charan, Allu Arjun, Allu Sirish, Sai Tej, and Panja Vaisshnav Tej. The wedding photos and videos had taken social media by storm back then.
What’s Next for the Couple?
On the professional front, Varun Tej was last seen in the period action thriller Matka, co-starring Meenakshi Chaudhary and Nora Fatehi. However, the film didn’t perform well at the box office and received mixed reviews. He has yet to announce his next project.
Lavanya Tripathi, meanwhile, is gearing up for her next film titled Sati Leelavathi. The film is being produced by M. Naga Mohan Babu and T. Rajesh under the banners of Durga Devi Pictures and TRIO Studios. More details about the project are awaited.
As they prepare to welcome a new member to their family, fans are showering the couple with love and best wishes. The news has only added to the string of celebrity pregnancies being celebrated in 2025.
