Ever since the couple made the announcement, social media has been filled with speculations about the babies and their names. A friend of the couple told TNM that they had used surrogacy to conceive although Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan have not issued a statement regarding the same.
The celebrity couple got married on June 9 this year in a grand ceremony which is to be released on Netflix as a documentary titled Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale. The wedding was a star-studded event with many celebrity guests attending, including Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, superstar Rajnikanth, Tamil filmmaker Atlee and television host Dhivya Dharshini, among others.
Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan met in 2015 during the script narration of the Tamil romantic drama Naanum Rowdy Dhaan starring Vijay Sethupathi in the lead.
