Ileana D’Cruz welcomed her baby boy Koa Phoenix Dolan in 2023 and since then, the actor has been sharing her motherhood journey on social media. In a recent interview, Ileana revealed that she has now moved to the US with her baby to live with her partner Michael Dolan. She shared that while she had imagined that she would work during her pregnancy, there were a few complications due to which she was asked to rest.

In a chat with The Times of India, Ileana said that she was in a “big happy bubble” throughout 2023 and credited her mother for being by her side during her pregnancy. Ileana also opened up about postpartum depression and said that nothing can prepare a new mother for this. She shared an anecdote where she started crying in her room because she missed her baby who was in the next room. “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’,” she said.

Speaking about her partner Michael, Ileana called him “amazing” and said that she does not need to explain things to him. When she was asked if she tied the knot with Michael in May 2023, Ileana chose to refrain from answering directly and said, “It is nice to have a tiny bit of mystery, right?” The Barfi actor said that she is yet to decide how much she wants to talk about her relationship as she hasn’t had a good experience about this in the past. “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,” she said.

However, Ileana mentioned that Michael is “absolutely lovely” and a “big support.” “I feel fortunate to have met him,” she said and added that Michael has seen all of her work and knows all the lyrics to her songs.

Ileana was last seen in The Big Bull.
