Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth and Dhanush, who had been separated for some time, officially confirmed their divorce in court, putting an end to reconciliation rumors that had been circulating for months. The couple, who had been married since 2004 and have two sons, Linga and Yatra, were involved in an ongoing divorce case. After multiple hearings, both parties appeared in court on Thursday, where they stated that they were committed to finalizing their separation. The judge has scheduled the final hearing for November 27, when the divorce decree is expected to be passed.
Divorce Announcement and Reconciliation Rumors
In January 2022, Dhanush announced their separation on social media, sharing a heartfelt post about their 18 years together as a couple, parents, and well-wishers. Aishwaryaa had echoed similar sentiments in her own post. The couple’s split had been followed by rumors of a possible reconciliation, especially after Rajinikanth, Aishwaryaa’s father, reportedly attempted to intervene. However, Thursday’s court proceedings dispelled those rumors when both Aishwaryaa and Dhanush expressed their desire for divorce, confirming that their relationship had come to an end.
Co-Parenting and Public Life Post-Separation
Despite their separation, Aishwaryaa and Dhanush have maintained an amicable relationship, especially for the sake of their children. The couple continues to co-parent their sons, Linga and Yatra, and regularly posts pictures of their family time on social media. They live near each other in Chennai’s Poes Garden, and their children divide their time between both parents. Their public support for one another despite their divorce has been widely noted, with the estranged couple focusing on raising their children in a loving, supportive environment.
