Telugu stars Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu are formally divorced. The Custody actor revealed that he and Samantha were granted a divorce last year. The couple, who was married for almost four years, announced their separation in 2021, leaving fans in shock. While the reason of their split is still unknown, Chaitanya admitted that he and Samantha have moved on.
“Yes. It’s been more than two years since we separated and a year since we were formally divorced. The court has granted us a divorce. Both of us have moved on with our lives. I have tremendous respect for that phase of my life,” he told The Times of India. Praising her, Chaitanya added, “She is a lovely person and deserves all happiness.”
Samantha and Chaitanya were dating for a few years before they tied the knot in 2017. However, speculations of their separation began when Samantha removed Chaitanya’s family name ‘Akkineni’ from her social media handles. After growing speculations and rumours, Chaitanya and Samantha issued a joint statement confirming the split.
