Ileana D’Cruz is completely enjoying her motherhood phase. She constantly shares a lot of pictures and videos of her son, Koa Phoenix Dolan, on social media. In a new interview, the actress revealed why she named her son Koa Phoenix. She also revealed that she was initially convinced that she would have a girl child.
In an interview with ETimes, Ileana shared, “I was convinced that I would have a girl. So, all I had were baby girl names, and I didn’t think about a single name for a boy. I wondered whether I should keep a few names ready as a backup, but then I was sure it would be a girl.”
She further added that she wanted to give her son a unique name. “I wanted to name my baby something unusual because I have a unique name, too. Koa somehow stood out. I spoke to Mike (Michael) about it, and even he found it cute. Phoenix is a name that’s been on my mind for a while. Also, the line ‘Rising from the ashes like a phoenix’ is inspiring. In fact, I got a tattoo of a phoenix in 2018, which had a deep meaning for me. Mike loved the name, and I hope Koa likes it too when he grows up.”
Earlier in an interview with the same portal, the actress shared about postpartum depression and said that it is “very real.” Responding to speculations about her marriage, she added that she “can handle things” said about her; however, she is “not comfortable with people talking rubbish” about her partner or family. The actress currently lives in the US with Michael Dolan and their baby. Several media reports suggested that Ileana D’Cruzz married her longtime partner Michael Dolan on May 13, 2023.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Ileana will soon be seen in the romantic drama Do Aur Do Pyaar, co-starring Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, and Sendhil Ramamurthy. It is all set to hit the silver screen on March 29, 2024. This will be Ileana D’Cruz’s first film after her delivery. The film is directed by award-winning ad filmmaker Shirsha Guha Thakurta. She was last seen in The Big Bull.
