Are Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya co-parenting their pet dogs? Netizens speculate

Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya’s personal lives have long been a topic of public fascination. Though their romantic journey ended in 2021, their story continues to spark discussions online—this time, over their enduring bond as pet parents.

The former couple, once one of the most adored pairs in South Indian cinema, went their separate ways nearly four years after tying the knot. While Chaitanya has since found companionship again with Sobhita Dhulipala, fans still recall the couple's fairy-tale past with nostalgia.

Recently, Reddit users uncovered a heartwarming detail about their post-divorce relationship. Screenshots of Samantha’s social media post featuring her dogs, including Hash—the pet she and Chaitanya had adopted together—resurfaced online. Notably, a separate picture of Chaitanya working out at a gym with Hash by his side added to the speculation that the two stars continue to co-parent their furry friend, despite their split.

This revelation touched many netizens, who took to the comments section to share their thoughts. “Yes, I guess. Although Samantha has three pets—two dogs and a cat—Hash (dog) was adopted when they were together. So, I have seen Hash with Chaitanya multiple times post their divorce,” a Reddit user commented. Another wrote, “That’s the right thing to do. Pets are family.” A third added, “Aww, that’s actually really sweet. That’s commitment.”



Samantha often shares pictures of her pet dogs on her social media handles, calling them her ‘constant’ and ‘true’ partners.

Samantha and Chaitanya got engaged in early 2017, tying the knot later that October. However, in 2021, just days before their fourth wedding anniversary, they announced their separation, sending shockwaves through their fan base.

Naga Chaitanya married Sobhita in December last year in a traditional wedding ceremony.
