Marc Anthony already has six children. Now he gets the seventh with his newly married wife. For the former Miss Paraguay, however, it is the first baby. The couple made the happy news public just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Sweet baby news: US musician Marc Anthony and his newlywed wife, former “Miss Paraguay” Nadia Ferreira, are expecting their first baby together. The two announced this on Tuesday in an identical post on their Instagram accounts.
“Best Valentine’s Day gift ever!” she commented on a photo showing his hand on her baby bump. She put her hand on his. “Gracias Dios por esta bendición tan grande en nuestras vidas,” the couple wrote in Spanish, which translates to “Thank you God for this great blessing in our lives.”
The announcement comes more than two weeks after the pair’s wedding, which took place on Jan. 28 at the Pérez Art Museum in Miami. Her closest friends, including David and Victoria Beckham, Salma Hayek, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Luis Fonsi, attended the romantic wedding ceremony.
The 54-year-old world music star and the 23-year-old beauty queen had confirmed their relationship via Instagram with a selfie they took on a plane in March 2022. In May of the same year, they announced their engagement.
While it’s Ferreira’s first child, the singer already has a large blended family, including 14-year-old twins Max and Emme from his previous marriage to Jennifer Lopez. They weren’t at the wedding, by the way, but were in Los Angeles on the day of the ceremony with Lopez’s fourth husband, Ben Affleck. It is not known why they did not want to attend their father’s remarriage.
Marc Anthony has previously been married three times: four years to Dayanara Torres, ten years to Jennifer Lopez and three years to Shannon De Lima.
