Director Atlee and his wife Priya are expecting their second child, and the couple chose the sweetest way to share the news — a set of adorable maternity photos that have melted hearts across social media.
The Jawan filmmaker posted the announcement on X late Monday evening, writing: “Our home is about to get even cozier with the addition of our newest member! Yes! We are pregnant again Need all your blessings, love and prayers .”
He signed off warmly: “With love, Atlee, Priya, Meer, Becky, Yuki, Chocki, Coffee and Goofy ” — a shoutout to their young son Meer and the family’s beloved pets.
The four pictures from the shoot, captioned “Mommy Shots by Amrita,” show the family in coordinated white outfits against a soft beige backdrop. Priya glows as she cradles her baby bump, Atlee beams with quiet pride beside her, and little Meer steals the show in one frame by playfully lifting his shirt to mimic his mom. It’s the kind of wholesome moment that instantly went viral.
Within hours, the post racked up thousands of likes and congratulatory messages. Actor Sriman penned a touching note wishing the couple “joy, laughter, and endless snug cuddles with the little one,” while fans flooded the replies with hearts, prayers, and plenty of excitement. A few cheeky ones even slipped in requests for updates on Atlee’s next film with Allu Arjun.
Atlee and Priya, married since 2014, welcomed Meer in early 2023 after keeping that pregnancy relatively low-key too. The director has always been private about family matters, but these occasional glimpses — like this one — remind everyone why he’s so loved beyond the big screen.
Coming off the blockbuster triumph of Jawan and with more ambitious projects in the pipeline, Atlee’s personal life seems just as full of joy right now. Fans are already buzzing about the new addition to the family, and the blessings are pouring in thick and fast.
Congratulations to Atlee, Priya, and Meer — here’s to the cozy chaos of baby number two!
