Bollywood actress Ileana D’Cruz and her husband Michael Dolan have announced the birth of their second child, a baby boy named Keanu Rafe Dolan, born on June 19, 2025. The couple shared the joyful news on social media, posting a black-and-white photograph of the newborn peacefully sleeping, accompanied by the caption: “Our hearts are so full”.
The announcement quickly drew warm wishes from fans and celebrities alike. Among the first to respond was Ileana’s Barfi! co-star Priyanka Chopra, who commented, “Congratulations beautiful”, along with heart and clapping emojis. Other celebrities, including Athiya Shetty, Sophie Choudry, and Maria Goretti, also extended their congratulations.
Keanu is the couple’s second son, following the birth of their first child, Koa Phoenix Dolan, in August 2023. Ileana had confirmed her second pregnancy in October 2024 but maintained a low profile throughout, sharing only occasional glimpses of her journey into motherhood.
In a recent Ask Me Anything session on Instagram, Ileana reflected on parenting, stating her desire to raise “happy, healthy, kind children” and emphasizing that love should never feel conditional. “I never want my children to feel like they must earn my love,” she wrote.
The couple, who tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2023, have largely kept their personal life away from the spotlight. Ileana was last seen in the romantic comedy Do Aur Do Pyaar, co-starring Vidya Balan and Pratik Gandhi.
The heartwarming introduction of baby Keanu has added another joyful chapter to the actress’s growing family, with fans eagerly awaiting more glimpses of the little one in the days to come.
