Ileana D’Cruz welcomed first child a few months ago. She is in awe of the joys of motherhood. Her baby boy Koa Phoenix Dolan is often seen on her Instagram posts. She recently shared how she is still going through Postpartum depression which is a common affect of child birth in many women. She also shared how her partner Michael Dolan has supported her through it. She had announced the birth of her son on August 1,2023 and has shared glimpses of her pregnancy throughout the year.
Ileana’s experience with Postpartum depression
Ileana said, “Postpartum depression is very real, and nothing can prepare you for it. I am glad that I had a good support system at home and a team of doctors who took good care of me. Topics like mom guilt are s so real. I remember I was in my room, and I started crying. My partner asked me what was wrong and I told him, ‘I know It sounds really stupid, but my son is sleeping in the other room, and I am missing him’. So, there are these intense emotions you go through after having a baby. I still am going through it. I am thankful that Mike is such an amazing partner.”
Ileana also conveyed her appreciation to Michael for serving as her rock and for being sympathetic to her predicament. He has assisted her in caring for the baby, wiped her tears, laughed, and given her embraces when she needed them. She said that she is learning to be gentle to herself and accept her imperfections, and that she may burst with how much love she is feeling for her son.
Speculations about her marriage
Ileana refused to clarify anything when asked about her marriage. When asked if she was married to her partner she said, “There’s so much speculation. Let’s just leave it at that. It is nice to have a tiny bit of mystery, right? Well, honestly, I haven’t decided how much I want to talk about this part of my life. It comes from a space where previously I talked about my relationship. I didn’t like how some people spoke about it back then. I can handle things said about me, but I am not comfortable with people talking rubbish about my partner or my family.”
It has been reported by DNA India that Ileana and Michael are already married. Weeks before she revealed her pregnancy, on May 13, 2023, the pair is said to have tied the wedding. Ileana has kept her personal life quiet and has never verified nor refuted the allegations that she is married. The only time she shared a photo of Michael with her followers on Instagram was during a romantic dinner date in July 2023.
Professionally speaking, Ileana, who most recently starred with Abhishek Bachchan in “The Big Bull,” will next be seen with Randeep Hooda in “Unfair & Lovely” that represents issue of colourism in the country.
