Telugu cinema's beloved couple, Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi, have officially announced they are expecting their first child. On May 6, 2025, Lavanya shared a touching black-and-white photo on social media featuring their hands gently holding a pair of tiny baby shoes adorned with red hearts—an intimate and symbolic reveal that quickly won the internet’s heart.
Fans of the "VarunLav" duo have flooded the post with congratulatory messages, celebrating this next chapter in the couple's journey. Varun and Lavanya, who tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in 2023, first met on the sets of the film Mister in 2017 and have since been one of Telugu cinema’s most admired pairs.
The news comes after months of quiet speculation, fueled by Lavanya’s visibly scaled-back professional schedule. Reports from April 2025, including one from Gulte, noted her reduced film commitments and pointed to upcoming motherhood as a possible reason. Her recent projects, including Thanal and Sathi Leelavathi, are now believed to be her final films before a planned break.
As Hyderabad and the film industry celebrate this joyful milestone, the announcement not only marks a personal moment for the couple but also reflects the deep affection fans hold for them—turning the spotlight once again on the enduring charm of real-life love stories born in cinema.
