Actor Ileana D’Cruz and her husband, Michael Dolan, welcomed their second baby boy, announcing the news on Saturday through an Instagram post.
Taking to Instagram, Ileana posted a tender photo of her little one, peacefully sleeping in a white outfit. Alongside the image, she introduced her son as “Keanu Rafe Dolan,” adding that he was born on 19 June 2025. She tagged Michael in the post and expressed her overflowing happiness with the caption, “Our hearts are so full,” punctuated by a red heart, sparkles, and a nazar amulet emoji.
The announcement sparked an outpouring of love and congratulations from fellow celebrities and fans alike. Actor Priyanka Chopra responded with a heartfelt, “Congratulations beautiful,” accompanied by clapping hands and red heart emojis. Actor Karanvir Sharma chimed in with, “Congrats Mommy!” while a fan gushed, “Beautiful!!! Congrats to the fam and what a name, Love!” Countless others left messages of support and admiration.
According to the parenting website The Bump, the name “Keanu” signifies both a “cool breeze” and conveys a sense of something “ancient and enduring,” adding a poetic touch to Ileana and Michael’s choice.
Hints of Ileana’s pregnancy first surfaced earlier this year when she shared an Instagram Story featuring a midnight snack and her medication. With playful subtlety, she captioned the image, “Tell me you’re pregnant without telling me you’re pregnant.”
Ileana and Michael have kept much of their personal life away from the limelight. The pair tied the knot quietly in 2023. In April of that year, Ileana revealed she was expecting her first child by posting a photo of a baby onesie on Instagram, writing, “Coming soon. Can’t wait to meet you, my little darling.” By August, she announced the birth of their first son, Koa Phoenix Dolan, sharing, “No words could explain how happy we are to welcome our darling boy to the world. Heart’s beyond full.”
With baby Keanu’s arrival, the couple’s family has grown, and fans are eager to see more glimpses of Ileana’s journey into motherhood once again.
