1 / 8 After staying away from speaking about their dating rumours, stars Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala officially announced their relationship after a long time of secret relationship. Nagarjun took to Instagram on Thursday morning to announce the couple's engagement with a sweet note. And now that everything is out in the open, fans couldn't help but investigate the couple's dating timeline. From dating to finally engaged, here is what happened!
2 / 8 In October 2021, Chaitanya and his actress spouse Samantha Ruth Prabhu called it quits on their four-year union. A few months later in 2022, Chaitanya was sighted at his Hyderabad home with Made in Heaven actor Sobhita Dhulipala. The two appeared to be very at ease with one another as Chaitanya showed Sobhita Dhulipala about his new house, according to sources. They drove off together a few hours later. And so the rumours started.
3 / 8 In March 2023, the romour mill caught fire when Dhulipala was spotted in the background of Naga Chaitanya's picture. The picture shared by a chef from London revealed that the stars bonded over their love for Formula 1 and bonded even more in London.
4 / 8 Another photo of the couple surfaced that year. The couple, dressed for winter, grinned as they posed for individual photos with a fan. As soon as people saw that the backgrounds of the two photos were similar, the internet quickly cropped off the fan and altered an image of them together.
5 / 8 In April of this year, Sobhita Dhulipala posted photos on a safari through the bush. This photo dump featured a self-portrait, images taken by someone seated next to her in the jeep, and snippets of her environment. A day subsequently, Naga Chaitanya shared a photo of himself on a safari jeep, relishing the sunset. In the comments section underneath, fans were eager to connect the dots. With these photos from their recent vacation, many online users surmised that they were "soft launching" their relationship on social media.
6 / 8 After their jungle expedition, which lasted for nearly a month, Sobhita and Chaitanya left for a European holiday. Even though the two remained silent about their relationship, a photo of them having fun at a wine tasting on their far-off vacation quickly became viral online.
