Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and actor Pawan Kalyan and his wife, Anna Konidela, announced their separation after 13 years of marriage. Late last night (November 10, 2026), the ex-couple revealed their separation and said they made the decision with mutual respect and understanding.
Announcing the big news, Pawan and Anna wrote, *To Our Well-Wishers, Near and Dear Ones… After sharing a significant part of our lives together, we have decided to part ways with mutual understanding and respect.”
The statement further reflected their commitment to remaining friends and co-parenting their children: “Though our marriage has come to an end, we remain good friends and devoted parents to our wonderful children. Their happiness and well-being will always remain our shared priority.”
Formally requesting privacy, the couple added: “During this personal transition, we seek your understanding, kindness, and respect for our privacy. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has stood by us throughout this journey. Pawan Kalyan Konidala, Anna Konidala.”
This separation marks the end of Pawan Kalyan’s third marriage. The actor first married Nandini in 1997, before the two parted ways in 1999. He later married actor Renu Desai in 2009 after a decade-long relationship; they share a son and a daughter but divorced in 2012.
In September 2013, Pawan married Anna, a Russian national and former actress whom he met on the sets of the 2011 Telugu film Teen Maar. They have two children together: Polena Anjana Pawanova (Anna’s daughter from a previous relationship) and Mark Shankar Pawanovich.
