Samantha Ruth Prabhu made her first social media post just hours after her ex-husband, Naga Chaitanya, got engaged to actress Sobhita Dhulipala. Rather than addressing the engagement, Samantha chose to highlight the Indian hockey team’s impressive bronze medal win at the Paris 2024 Olympics with a shared article.
Earlier in the day, Samantha also posted an Instagram story about wrestler Vinesh Phogat’s retirement, marked with a broken heart emoji.
Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala, who had been the subject of dating rumors for over a year, got engaged on Thursday morning in a private ceremony at Chaitanya’s residence, surrounded by close family members. Shortly after the engagement, Naga Chaitanya’s father, superstar Nagarjuna, took to X (formerly Twitter) to officially share the news and post the first photos of the newly engaged couple.
“We are delighted to announce the engagement of our son, Naga Chaitanya, to Sobhita Dhulipala, which took place this morning at 9:42 a.m.!! We are overjoyed to welcome her into our family. Congratulations to the happy couple! Wishing them a lifetime of love and happiness. God bless! 8.8.8 A beginning of infinite love,” Nagarjuna expressed in his heartfelt post.
Rumors of Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita’s relationship began swirling in May of the previous year when they were first seen together in Hyderabad. At the time, Sobhita was promoting her film Major and reportedly celebrated her birthday with Chaitanya and friends. Their relationship continued to attract attention, especially after a viral photo from their European holiday in June showed them enjoying a wine-tasting session together, fueling further speculation.
Naga Chaitanya was previously married to Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The couple, who tied the knot in 2017, announced their separation in October 2021 after four years of marriage, requesting privacy as they moved forward with their lives.
