Naga Chaitanya, who is currently busy promoting his new film 'Custody', talked about the relations between him and his ex-wife Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The actor shared they both had since moved on from their marriage after their divorce last year, but the media and public constantly bring it up.
In an interview with ETimes, the actor shared, "Yes. It has been more than two years since we separated and a year since we formally divorced. The court has granted us a divorce. Both of us have moved on with our lives. I have tremendous respect for that phase of my life."

He added, "(Samantha) is a lovely person and deserves all the happiness. It is only when the media speculates that things get awkward between us. In the public eye, that mutual respect is taken away. That's what I feel bad about."
Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya got married in October 2017 and announced they were divorcing in October 2021.
Naga Chaitanya is the son of actor Nagarjuna. He made his film debut with Josh (2009) and the romantic drama Ye Maaya Chesave was a breakthrough film in his career as well. His last Telugu film, Thank You (2022), didn't live up to expectations. The romantic drama directed by Vikram Kumar also starred Raashii Khanna, Malavika Nair, Avika Gor and Sai Sushanth Reddy.
