Bollywood actress Ileana D’Cruz has joyously announced the birth of her second child, a son named Keanu Rafe Dolan, born on June 19, 2025. The happy news was shared by the actress on Saturday via her Instagram handle, delighting fans and industry colleagues alike. This marks the second child for Ileana and her husband, Michael Dolan, who welcomed their first son, Koa Phoenix Dolan, in August 2023.
Ileana’s announcement featured an adorable picture of her newborn, peacefully sleeping. The post was captioned with heartfelt words, “Our hearts are so full,” accompanied by a heart, sparkle, and evil eye emoji, clearly expressing the couple’s immense happiness. The image, which resembled a polaroid photograph, also bore the inscription, “Introducing Keanu Rafe Dolan. Born on June 19, 2025.”
The news, which came as a pleasant surprise to many, considering Ileana had largely kept her second pregnancy private, quickly garnered a flood of congratulatory messages. Among the many well-wishers was her “Barfi!” co-star, global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who took to the comments section to extend her warm felicitations. Priyanka wrote, “Congratulations beautiful,” along with clapping hands and red heart emojis, reflecting the camaraderie and affection within the industry.
The name “Keanu” is of Hawaiian origin, commonly translating to “cool breeze” or “cool breeze over the mountains,” signifying a sense of serenity and natural beauty. The middle name “Rafe” and the surname “Dolan” complete the beautiful moniker for their newest addition.
Ileana and Michael Dolan, who tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2023, have maintained a relatively low profile about their personal lives. However, Ileana has occasionally shared glimpses of her journey into motherhood with her followers. While her first pregnancy was announced with a sweet picture of a baby onesie and later showcased her baby bump on social media, the second pregnancy was kept largely under wraps, with only subtle hints dropped by the actress.
On the professional front, Ileana D’Cruz was last seen in the 2024 romantic comedy “Do Aur Do Pyaar.” Despite her recent focus on family, her return to the big screen is eagerly anticipated by her fans. The arrival of Keanu Rafe Dolan further fills the couple’s lives with joy, making them a happy family of four.
