In the last season of Koffee With Karan, Kiara appeared on the couch with her husband, actor Sidharth Malhotra. She recalled breaking down during a podcast after becoming a mother and said the experience helped her channel her emotions. She said, "Sometimes all you want is an outlet. It is such a whole shift for any new mom that women really understand women. When we found out that we were pregnant for the first time, the first three months were really hard. You go through nausea and hormone changes. At that time, we thought we wouldn’t tell anyone. I said I needed to talk to my mother and mother-in-law. I need women who understand me."

Karan then revealed that Kiara would call Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif and Patralekhaa during her postpartum phase. Kiara added, "We were checking up on each other. All of us are in the same field. I remember calling her (Alia) up and asking about getting back to shoot, and understanding how do we make this work. Your priority is your family as well, and at work you are professional. How do you blend these two worlds in a way that doesn’t make you feel guilty at times? Mom guilt is just there."

Kiara Advani is married to actor Sidharth Malhotra. The couple tied the knot on February 7, 2023, in an intimate wedding ceremony in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, after dating for several years. They welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on July 15, 2025. They announced the news on social media, writing, “Our hearts are full and our world forever changed. We are blessed with a Baby Girl.” In November 2025, they revealed her name as Saraayah Malhotra, meaning God's princess.

On October 7 this year, Kiara shared a post announcing her second pregnancy with Sidharth on Instagram. The couple wrote, “Blessed once again with the greatest gift of all. Our hearts are so full of love and gratitude.”
