In a recent interview, Naga Chaitanya, who is currently promoting his movie 'Custody', discussed his divorce with Samantha Ruth Prabhu. He said, "It has been more than two years since we split and a year since we formally divorced. Our divorce has been approved by the court. We both have continued living our lives. I greatly respect that time in my life," She is a great lady and deserves all the happiness, the actor continued. Things only become unpleasant between us when the media makes assumptions. That respect is lost when it is displayed to the public. That's what makes me feel horrible.

The co-stars of Majili, Ye Maaya Chesave, and Autonagar Surya, Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, wed in 2017. In a joint statement posted on social media in October 2021, the celebrities revealed their split. Sobhita Dhulipa, a Ponniyin Selvan actor, is presently rumoured to be dating Naga Chaitanya.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu stated, "I gave my marriage 100 percent and it did not work out, but I was not going to beat myself up and feel guilty for something that I did not do," in an interview with Miss Malini earlier this year.
