Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu are 'formally divorced', have been legally single for a year now

Actor Naga Chaitanya has confirmed that he and Samantha are formally divorced and they have been legally single for a year now. Speaking with Times of India, the ‘Custody’ actor said that both of them have moved on and he has tremendous respect for that phase of his life.

Praising Samantha, Naga Chaitanya added, ‘She is a lovely person and deserves all happiness. It is only when the media speculates that things get awkward between us. In the public eye, that mutual respect is taken away. That’s what I feel bad about. And you do what is worse? They bring in a third party, someone who is not connected to my part to create headlines out of that. It’s very disrespectful to the third party whom they are unnecessarily involving with my past.’
Naga Chaitanya was married to the ‘Kushi’ star for almost four years. They announced their separation in 2021.

Naga Chaitanya is currently rumoured to be dating Sobhita Dhulipala. They recently made headlines when they were spotted on a date in London.
