Two years after welcoming Dua, Deepika Padukone is once again documenting a major moment in her pregnancy journey. On September 8, 2026, her daughter Dua Padukone Singh turned two, and Deepika and Ranveer Singh marked the occasion by sharing a series of beautiful monochrome family photographs.
But there was another reason the pictures immediately caught attention. Deepika was seen proudly flaunting her baby bump as she prepares to welcome her second child. Alongside pictures of the family, the couple also gave fans a glimpse of Deepika’s maternity journey this time around.
Ranveer shared the post with the caption, “Baby Dua and our hearts are getting bigger! Thank you for your blessings!”
The moment is especially significant because Deepika’s journey to motherhood first became a subject of intense public curiosity more than two years ago, when pregnancy rumours began swirling around her.
How Did Deepika Padukone’s First Pregnancy Rumours Begin?
The first major pregnancy speculation surrounding Deepika surfaced during the 77th BAFTA Awards in February 2024.
The actress walked the red carpet in a glittering Sabyasachi saree, with her pallu styled in a way that covered her midriff. That small styling detail was enough to send the internet into speculation mode, with many wondering whether Deepika was hiding a baby bump.
At the time, neither Deepika nor Ranveer had confirmed anything. But the rumours did not last long.
When Did Deepika Padukone And Ranveer Singh Announce Their First Pregnancy?
On February 29, 2024, Deepika and Ranveer officially revealed that they were expecting their first child.
The couple shared a joint Instagram announcement which featured tiny baby clothes, shoes and balloons, along with a simple message revealing the due month: September 2024.
A few months later, Deepika began showing her pregnancy more openly in public.
On May 20, 2024, she was photographed with Ranveer while they stepped out to cast their vote in Mumbai during the Lok Sabha elections. It became one of the first times fans got a clear public glimpse of her baby bump.

When Was Dua Padukone Singh Born?
Deepika and Ranveer welcomed their daughter on September 8, 2024, exactly two years before today’s birthday celebrations. Their baby girl was later named Dua Padukone Singh.
For the first few weeks, the couple kept their newborn away from the spotlight and did not publicly show her face.
That changed during Diwali 2025, when Deepika and Ranveer shared a picture of their baby girl with the world. The festive post gave fans their first proper glimpse of Dua’s face after the couple had kept her private since her birth.
When Did Deepika Padukone Announce Her Second Pregnancy?
The second pregnancy announcement came unexpectedly on April 19, 2026. This time, Deepika and Ranveer brought Dua into the announcement itself. Their daughter was photographed holding a positive pregnancy test showing two pink lines, instantly revealing that she was going to become a big sister.
The announcement came nearly two years after Deepika and Ranveer had first confirmed that they were expecting Dua.
