Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala, who are rumoured to be dating, are making headlines after their pictures of holidaying together went viral. The actors took to their respective Instagram profiles to share their solo pictures. However, some eagle-eyed fans pointed out similarities between the two photos. They went on to claim that they were, in fact, travelling together.
According to Hindustan Times, a source confirmed that they have been dating for quite some time. “Naga and Sobhita have found a happy place with each other, and are dating. They like to spend time with each other. They keep going on vacations together. However, they want to keep their private lives out of the public glare,” says a source.
“And that’s the reason they don’t post about each other online. They are aware about the emergence of their pictures online, and the buzz. But they don’t want to address it and make it a talking point. They don’t want to divert the attention from their professional work to their personal space. They are not working really hard to keep their affair a secret, but are not eager to go public either,” he added.
Naga Chaitanya was previously married to Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The couple announced their divorce in 2021 with a joint statement.
“They have been together for quite some time. However, they are private people so they want to keep the affair private as well. They will only confirm the relationship once they get married. At the moment, they are not thinking of taking that step and enjoying being together,” says the source.
Naga Chaitanya met Samantha Ruth Prabhu in 2009 on the sets of romantic film ‘Ye Maaya Chesave’. The couple soon started dating and got married in 2017. Even after their separation, Samantha and Naga Chaitanya never addressed the reason behind the split.
