coincidentally

As luck happened

Coincidentally marks that something happened by coincidence rather than by design: Coincidentally, we were on the same flight.

It often introduces information that connects unexpectedly to what came before: She mentioned Paris, and coincidentally, I had just booked a trip there.

The word signals that a connection exists but wasn't planned.
