As Valentine's Day swept across the globe on February 14, love was in the air, and Bollywood actress Ileana D’Cruz was no exception. The 'Main Tera Hero' actor took to her Instagram stories on Thursday, February 15, to share a love-filled snapshot featuring herself and her partner, Michael Dolan.

In the image, Michael is captured holding his beloved close, both dressed in coordinating black attire, while sharing a heartfelt laugh. Alongside the picture, Ileana penned a sweet caption, expressing, “Happy Valentine’s Day to my studmuffin and my first real Valentine (sic).”

This display of affection comes after a significant year for the couple, marked by the arrival of their first child, a baby boy named Koa Phoenix Dolan. Last year, Ileana revealed that she had relocated to the United States with her infant to join her partner, Michael Dolan. Despite the speculations surrounding their relationship, Ileana remained tight-lipped when asked about marrying Michael in May 2023 during an interview with Times of India.

Preferring to maintain an element of mystery, the 'Barfi' actress had stated, "It is nice to have a tiny bit of mystery, right?" She emphasised her reluctance to delve into the details of her personal life, citing experiences from past where she felt uncomfortable with how her relationship was discussed publicly.

During the interview, Ileana expressed gratitude towards Michael for his unwavering support, referring to him as "an amazing partner." She candidly shared her experience of navigating the intense emotions that come with motherhood, and thanked Michael for being an amazing partner.

She will next be seen in 'Do Aur Do Pyaar', featuring Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi and Sendhil Ramamurthy. The film is scheduled for a release of March 29, 2024.
