Actor Nayanthara and filmmaker Vignesh Shivan celebrated their 4th wedding anniversary on 9 June 2025, with Nayanthara sharing a rare album of family photographs on social media, offering fans an intimate glimpse of the couple and their twin sons during what appears to be a recent trip to Vatican City.

The Anniversary Post

The photo album features several heartwarming moments — from the couple striking a romantic pose in front of a bridge at the Vatican to a candid shot of Nayanthara and Vignesh sharing a kiss, with one of their sons perched on the director's shoulders. Other frames capture the family of four simply strolling through the streets of the Vatican, all smiles for the camera.

'Happy Anniversary to Us,' Nayanthara captioned the post, keeping it characteristically understated.

The Family Behind the Frame

The couple's twin boys — Uyir RudroNeel N Shivan and Ulag Daiwik N Shivan — were born via surrogacy on 22 September 2022, just months after their parents' wedding. The boys have made occasional appearances on their parents' social media, but full family vacation albums remain relatively rare, making Tuesday's post a notable moment for fans of the couple.

How It All Began

Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan first crossed paths on the sets of the 2015 Tamil film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, which Vignesh directed. After several years together, the couple wed on 9 June 2022 in a grand ceremony held at Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu. The star-studded guest list included Shah Rukh Khan, Rajinikanth, AR Rahman, Suriya, Vijay Sethupathi, and director Atlee, among other prominent names from the entertainment industry.

What's Next for Nayanthara

On the professional front, Nayanthara is set to appear in director Geetu Mohandas's upcoming action film Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, which stars KGF actor Yash in the lead role. Nayanthara plays the character Ganga in the film.

Speaking about casting Nayanthara, Geetu Mohandas said: 'I wanted to portray Nayan in a way that she's never been showcased before. But as the shoot progressed I began to see how closely her own personality echoed the soul of the character. It wasn't imitation, it was alignment. The depth, the honesty, the restraint, and the emotional clarity she brought were not performances layered on top of the character, they were qualities she already possessed.'

With four years of marriage, two children, and a slate of high-profile projects ahead, the couple's anniversary post is a reminder that their story — personal and professional — continues to unfold on a very public stage.
