Samantha and Raj sparked relationship rumours while working together on Citadel: Honey Bunny, which premiered in 2024. Samantha's divorce from Naga Chaitanya was announced in 2021, while details about when Raj's marriage to Shhyamali De ended remain unclear. Samantha's social media posts featuring Raj also fuelled speculation about their relationship.

At the success meet for her film Maa Inti Bangaaram in June 2026, Samantha announced that she was expecting her first child with Raj. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Samantha revealed that her pregnancy came as a surprise and said, "I had reached a place where I was okay. Like, both Raj and I were okay with, maybe we can’t have kids. Maybe we will. I was okay with either. I was fine, and so was he. So, this is a surprise. The first day I was shooting for (the song) Thassadiya, I found out. I had just found out, and I had to go and do the steps. I was having a little bit of sickness at that time. I guess everything just aligned. And now, I am truly excited. Everyone tells me that having a child changes your entire life. I think I am ready for that change."
