For the unversed, Thalapathy Vijay met Sangeetha, a Sri Lankan Tamil, back in 1996. She happened to be the star’s die-hard fan and the two met during one of Thalapathy’s shooting schedules in Chennai.

Thereafter, they fell in love and eventually tied the knot in August 1999. Their union commenced by following both Hindu and Christian rituals. The couple is blessed with a son, Sanjay (born in 2000) and a daughter, Divya (born in 2005). Both the star kids have made brief appearances in their father’s films. 

Since Thalapathy prefers to keep his personal life away from media glare, baseless speculation and conjecture about the same often make headlines. 

For instance, back in 2023, certain rumors claimed that Thalapathy and his wife Sangeetha might be heading for a divorce after 22 years of marriage. However, as clarified later, this buzz was completely baseless and out of context, and the duo are very happy and together in bliss. 

On the work front, Thalapathy Vijay is gearing up for his last film, Thalapathy 69, before stepping into his full-time career in politics. While his fans are all excited to witness him in action on the celluloid, they are also bittersweet about the fact that Thalapathy would be bidding adieu to the movies once and for all.

The wedding day itself was a conventional but highly memorable event. The pair exchanged gold rings under an olive tree and chose to have a simple but significant ceremony. Sansone told Vogue, “When I was standing up there, I have never felt more connected to Charlie—it was like time stopped. Without realizing it, we had both included the same line in our vows: ‘It’s always been you.’”

The couple walked down to Barry White’s Can’t Get Enough of Your Love Babe and had their first dance to a song by Bruce Springsteen, Jersey Girl, referring to their New Jersey roots. In reminiscing about the weekend, Sansone said that it felt like a complete fairy tale, whereas Puth dedicated an Instagram post to his wife with his love and thanks, expressing how beautiful she made his life.

In September 2023, Puth asked for Sansone’s hand during his tour in New York City, and this event was further celebrated in a Brooklyn pizzeria. The bond with Sansone has been a very soothing one for Puth. 

Charlie Puth wrote, “I promise I’ll love you every day in this life, and even more when we move on to our next. Brooke Ashley Sansone, And now you’ll be Brooke Ashley Puth. Thank you for making me the happiest man alive. It has always been you.” This was the big day the couple had been waiting for—the day they sealed off a long journey of their friendship, finally to marriage.
