Gabriella shared with the Mid-Day that she was unsure of having a baby. She was quoted as saying, “I was never one of those people who thought of having a baby. I am actually the youngest of my friends, and we would have conversations such as 'ok, is it time to have a baby yet?'. I would even look at people having babies, and think 'I don't know if I want to do this'. But it all happened very organically, and it may sound like a cliche now, but it's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I used to think I was in love (with Rampal), but then Arik happened (laughs)." The couple had announced the good news by sharing a picture of their baby boy on Instagram.
Talking about Arjun's daughters' bonding with Arik, Gabriella was quoted as saying, "They love him. I see the relationship they have with Arjun, and it's one of respect but they are friends too. I wish to have the same one with Arik when he grows up." (Do Read: Sameera Reddy's Husband, Akshai Varde Is The Daddy Cool Of Tinseltown, Plays Guitar For His Girl)

Sharing the experience of her pregnancy days, Gabriella said, "All during the pregnancy, which was hard, my mother would tell me, 'wait till you see the baby'. While Arjun has done this before, and so, was calm, and was with me every step of the way, I didn't have a reference point. I think he is going to be a great dad. He is so hands-on that sometimes I say 'give me my son back'."
Gabriella had taken to Instagram to share her post-pregnancy weight loss and had written, "This photo was taken 11 days after delivery. It's a long way from where it was but the body is an amazing thing. All I can say is, don't stop your regime during pregnancy. Move, eat well and treat yourself every now and again. Prenatal yoga really helped keep my pelvic floor strong (Tanvi at the tangerine studio kept me calm and taught me to breathe). Also remember everyone is different and all good things do take time: so be patient with your body and your mind."
Arjun had introduced his ladylove to the world in April by sharing an adorable picture on Instagram with Gabriella. Sharing the picture, the Rock on! actor had written, “Blessed to have you and start all over again... thank you baby for this baby".
