Celebrations are in full swing for filmmaker Atlee and his wife, producer-actor Priya Atlee, as the couple has announced they are expecting their second child. The happy news comes just two years after they welcomed their first baby, a son named Meer, in January 2023. Taking to Instagram, Priya shared an adorable maternity announcement that instantly won hearts across social media.
The announcement post featured a series of beautifully styled photographs capturing the family’s warmth and excitement. In one frame, Priya lovingly cradles her baby bump, dressed in a flowing mehndi-green outfit, while leaning into Atlee’s cheerful smile. Another picture shows their little son Meer sitting beside them, radiating sweet “big brother” energy. Adding extra charm to the shoot, the family’s beloved pets are also seen lounging around, making the moment feel even more intimate and homely.
Priya captioned the post with heartfelt words, 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 With love Atlee, Priya, Meer, Becky, Yuki, Chocki, Coffee and Goofy .” The message, signed off with the entire family — including their furry companions — made fans smile at the couple’s close-knit bond.
The couple had earlier announced Priya’s first pregnancy in December 2022, eight years after their marriage. They welcomed baby Meer on January 31, 2023, a moment that marked a new chapter in their lives. Now, with a second child on the way, fans are thrilled to see their family growing once again.
Soon after the announcement, the comment section was flooded with love and congratulatory messages from fans and celebrities alike. Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu wrote, “So so beautiful. Congratulations my beautiful mama.” Actress Kalyani Priyadarshan also expressed her affection with heart-eyed emojis.
Atlee and Priya got married in 2014 after several years of dating. Their traditional wedding ceremony was attended by close friends and family from the film industry. Over the years, Priya has been a strong pillar of support in Atlee’s personal and professional journey, often backing his projects and celebrating his success as one of South cinema’s most sought-after directors.
With their second baby on the way, the Atlee household is set to welcome even more love, laughter, and happiness.
