Ileana D’Cruz shares FIRST glimpse of her second child Keanu Rafe Dolan
Congratulations are in order, as Bollywood actress Ileana D’Cruz has welcomed her second child with her husband Michael Dolan! She shared the delightful news on Instagram, announcing the birth of her second child, a baby boy, who they have chosen to name ‘Keanu Rafe Dolan’. He was born on June 19th, 2025. Soon after she announced the great news, her Barfi co-star Priyanka Chopra congratulated her! Ileana and Michael Dolan welcomed their first child, son Koa Phoenix Dolan, on August 1, 2023.
On Saturday, Ileana D’Cruz took to her Instagram account to share an adorable picture of her newborn son. The text on the photo read, “Introducing Keanu Rafe Dolan. Born on June 19th 2025.” The adorable photo offered fans a sweet glimpse of Ileana and Michael’s newborn baby, peacefully sleeping. In her caption, the actress wrote, “Our hearts are so full,” along with a heart and evil eye emoji.
Priyanka Chopra was among the first to comment on her post, and she wrote, “congratulations beautiful.” PeeCee and Ileana have worked together in Anurag Basu’s 2012 film Barfi, starring Ranbir Kapoor. Meanwhile, many fans also showered love on Ileana’s newborn baby boy, and congratulated her.
Ileana had previously confirmed her second pregnancy in October 2024, just months after celebrating her first child Koa Phoenix Dolan’s first birthday. While she maintained privacy during this pregnancy, she briefly opened up about parenting during an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Instagram this May.
Sharing her views on love and raising children, Ileana said, “People, and especially kids, should be taught that being cruel, wicked, unkind or selfish are not lovable traits… Love has to be earned, just like respect and happiness.” She emphasized that she never wants her children to feel like they must earn her love, calling it “the worst feeling I have ever experienced.”
“I want to raise happy, healthy, kind children (I am sure all parents do) and I will do my best to ensure that I know how loved they are,” she added.
For the unversed, Ileana and Michael Dolan tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2023. They were blessed with their first child, Koa, in August of the same year.
On the work front, the actress was last seen in the romantic comedy Do Aur Do Pyaar, co-starring Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, and many others.
