The actress addressed the speculation around her pregnancy during her latest film's success event in Hyderabad. "After Maa Inti Bangaaram, I will have to take a small break, given my condition. I'll have to take maternity leave. After that, I'll be back with another film for my fans," she said. "Sorry guys, one more small gap and then I will be back. I know I have to take maternity leave now. But I am very happy."
The couple started dating in 2024. It has been said that they grew closer while working together on The Family Man season 2. It was released in 2021, and Samantha played the role of Raji.
Samantha and Raj Nidimoru got married in a private Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha ceremony at the Linga Bhairavi Temple inside the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore on December 1, 2025. She was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya; the couple announced their divorce in 2021.

Not only does she now have to impress her new family, but she must also ensure they never find out about her dark past.
