Bollywood actress Ileana D'Cruz took to social media on Saturday evening to announce the joyous arrival of her first child, Koa Phoenix Dolan. Despite being open about her pregnancy, she had remained circumspect about the identity of the baby's father, sharing only fleeting glimpses of the mystery man. As per exclusive details accessed by DNA, Ileana married Michael Dolan on May 13 this year, four weeks before publicly revealing her pregnancy. The exact details of the wedding venue remain unknown.
Interestingly, around the same time, Ileana had shared a picture of herself in a white bridal dress in front of a decorated venue. It is not certain if the picture was from her wedding or an older photoshoot. Not much is known about Michael apart from the fact that he and Ileana have been together since last year - and share a very special and intimate bond!
On the birth of her son on August 1, an elated Ileana shared on Instagram, "No words could explain how happy we are to welcome our darling boy to the world. Hearts beyond full." Earlier in June, she had announced her pregnancy alongside a blurred picture with Michael, expressing, "Being pregnant is such a beautiful blessing...I didn't think I'd be fortunate enough to ever experience this so I consider myself so incredibly lucky to be on this journey. I can't even begin to describe how lovely it is to feel a life growing inside of you."
Discussing her partner, Ileana had previously written how he had been a pillar of support during her long and arduous pregnancy, "And on the days I forget to be kind to myself, this lovely man has been my rock. He's held me when he feels me starting to crack...And everything doesn't seem so hard anymore."
