Ranbir is an ardent FC Barcelona fan. A few years ago, the club gifted him a Barcelona shirt that had Lionel Messi's signature on it. In 2011, Ranbir met Messi in Barcelona. As quoted by Times of India, Ranbir had said in 2011, "I’m just an actor, Messi is a Rockstar... If I wasn’t an actor, I would have played professional football. Or at least struggled to get into the team."

Alia and Ranbir welcomed their first newborn, a baby girl on November 6. Alia, on Thursday, on Instagram shared a picture. In the blurry photo, Ranbir held the newborn with a small football jersey of FC Barcelona hanging on the wall that read Raha.

She wrote, "The name Raha (chosen by her wise and wonderful Dadi) has so many beautiful meanings... Raha, in its purest form means divine path, in Swahili she is Joy, In Sanskrit, Raha is a clan, In Bangla -rest, comfort, relief, in Arabic peace, it also means happiness, freedom & bliss. And true to her name, from the first moment we held her – we felt it ALL! Thank you Raha, for bringing our family to life, it feels as though our lives have only just begun."

Announcing the baby's arrival, Alia had posted on Instagram, "And in the best news of our lives:- Our baby is here...and what a magical girl she is. We are officially bursting with love - Blessed and obsessed PARENTS!!!! Love love love Alia and Ranbir."

The couple announced the pregnancy in June this year. Alia and Ranbir had tied the knot on April 14, 2022, after dating for a few years. The wedding, an intimate ceremony, took place at Ranbir's Mumbai residence Vastu.
