Deepika Padukone Flaunts Baby Bump During Bandra Outing With Ranveer Singh — Second Baby Expected in December 2026
Bollywood’s most adored couple, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, set the paparazzi and social media ablaze on June 9, 2026, when they were spotted during a casual outing in Mumbai’s Bandra neighbourhood with the actress proudly flaunting her growing baby bump. The couple, who announced their second pregnancy earlier this year, looked radiant and happy as they were photographed stepping out of a café, with Ranveer protectively holding Deepika’s hand.
The sighting comes weeks after the couple’s adorable pregnancy announcement on Instagram, which featured their daughter Dua holding a positive pregnancy test kit — a post that crossed 4.1 million likes within hours and had celebrities from Katrina Kaif to Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor showering them with love and congratulations.
The DeepVeer Love Story Continues
Deepika and Ranveer, fondly called “DeepVeer” by fans, have been one of Bollywood’s most public and beloved couples since they began dating in 2012. Their chemistry, first ignited on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ram-Leela, deepened through Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat, before they tied the knot in a fairytale wedding at Lake Como, Italy, in November 2018.
Their first child, daughter Dua Padukone Singh — whose name means “prayer” — was born in September 2024. The couple kept Dua’s early months intensely private, only sharing glimpses of their parenting journey through carefully curated social media posts. Now, with baby number two on the way and expected in December 2026, fans are overjoyed at the growing DeepVeer family.
“We are grateful, blessed, and excited beyond words,” Deepika wrote in her pregnancy announcement post. “Dua is ready to be the best big sister in the world.” Ranveer, known for his exuberant public persona, shared a separate post with a heart emoji and the caption: “Our little family grows. Life is beautiful.”
A Maternity Fashion Moment
As with her first pregnancy, Deepika has been setting maternity fashion goals. During the Bandra outing, she was spotted wearing a flowing olive-green maxi dress paired with oversized sunglasses and minimal jewellery — a look that was simultaneously effortless and elegant. Within hours, the outfit was being searched and replicated across fashion platforms, with “Deepika maternity look” trending on Google India.
The actress, who has long been a style icon, was also spotted earlier this month at a maternity brand photoshoot, giving fans their first full glimpse of her baby bump. The images, shared by the brand on social media, showed Deepika in a series of pastel-toned outfits, radiating what fans have been calling her “pregnancy glow.”
Fashion commentators noted that Deepika’s approach to maternity style — confident, visible, and unapologetic — represents a shift in how Bollywood handles celebrity pregnancies. “There was a time when actresses would disappear from public view during pregnancy,” said fashion journalist Priya Tanna. “Deepika is normalising the baby bump in the public eye, and that’s wonderful.”
Ranveer’s Busy Year
While Deepika focuses on her pregnancy, Ranveer has been navigating a professionally eventful year. His exit from the Don 3 franchise earlier in 2026 sparked one of Bollywood’s biggest controversies, with the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) initially calling for an informal boycott before retracting it following a legal notice from the actor.
Despite the Don 3 drama, Ranveer has multiple projects in various stages of production and is expected to resume shooting after a brief paternity break. Industry insiders say the couple has planned their schedules to ensure one parent is always available for Dua during the pregnancy months.
Bollywood’s Baby Boom
The DeepVeer pregnancy adds to what has been called Bollywood’s “baby boom” year. Multiple celebrity couples have announced pregnancies or welcomed children in 2025-26, leading to a wave of family-centric content on social media that has delighted fans. The trend also reflects a broader shift in Bollywood, where parenthood is no longer seen as a career-ending event for actresses.
Deepika herself has been vocal about continuing to work through and after pregnancy. She has two major film projects slated for 2027 and has indicated that she plans to resume shooting within months of delivery, as she did after Dua’s birth.
