Samantha and Naga's divorce has been rumoured for quite some time. It all started when she changed her name from Samantha Akkineni to just 'S' on social media sites. 

Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya have officially announced their separation after four years of marriage. She wrote a letter to her Instagram fans, stating that they want to "pursue (their) own paths."

Taking to Instagram, the actress wrote:  “To all our well-wishers. After much deliberation and thought Chay and I have decided to part ways as husband and wife to pursue our own paths. We are fortunate to have a friendship of over a decade that was the very core of our relationship which we believe will always hold a special bond between us."

She went on to say that they would appreciate it if their fans, well-wishers, and the media would support them at this terrible time and allow them the privacy they require to move on.

Naga Chaitanya's tweet was also phrased similarly. He added that they want fans, well-wishers, and the media to stand with them through this terrible time and to allow them the privacy they require to move on.

When asked about relocating to Mumbai during an Instagram Q&A session, she said, "I don't know where this storey began, but it's not real, just like a hundred other stories." Hyderabad is and always will be my home. Hyderabad is providing me with all I need, and I want to stay here for the foreseeable future.”

Samantha Akkineni and Naga Chaitanya met on the sets of their film Ye Maya Chesave and married in a dreamy destination wedding in Goa in 2017. They exchanged vows first in a traditional Hindu wedding, then in a Christian ceremony surrounded by close friends and family members. However, the narrative has come to a conclusion.
