Ileana D’Cruz is glowing with joy as she prepares to welcome her second child with husband Michael Dolan. The actor recently took to Instagram Stories to share a hilarious video that perfectly captures the emotional whirlwind of her third trimester — from her waddling walk and soaring appetite to mood swings and restless nights. Clearly, she’s embracing the chaos with a healthy dose of humour.
Pregnancy glow and giggles
In one of the posts, Ileana shared a relatable video clip titled “my walk, my appetite, my baby, my brain, my mood, trying to sleep,” giving fans a candid look at her daily struggles and joys. She also reacted to another video of a pregnant woman urging her husband to touch her belly when the baby kicks. Ileana quipped, “Thought my lovely hubby would be lucky to experience this the second time around… Baby had other plans,” hinting that her little one already has a mind of their own.
She also posted an adorable photo of her son, Koa Phoenix Dolan, lying comfortably on the floor. Along with the picture, she lovingly captioned it, “This little flopsy munchkin.”
Speculations around her second pregnancy began earlier this year when Ileana posted a touching New Year’s video with glimpses of her growing family. In February, she confirmed the news through an Instagram Story showing her midnight cravings — a sandwich and an antacid — captioned cheekily, “Tell me you’re pregnant without telling me you’re pregnant.”
A hush-hush wedding and a happy family
The actor, who married Michael Dolan in a private ceremony in 2023, had announced her first pregnancy last year with a sweet post featuring a baby onesie that read, “Coming soon. Can’t wait to meet you, my little darling.” She gave birth to her son in August and later wrote, “No words could explain how happy we are to welcome our darling boy to the world. Heart’s beyond full.”
On the work front, Ileana was last seen in the romantic comedy Do Aur Do Pyaar, alongside Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, and Sendhil Ramamurthy. As she gears up for baby number two, fans are showering her with love for sharing her motherhood journey with such warmth and wit.
