Latin and Cuban entertainment is experiencing a genuine baby boom in 2026. Social media is filled with colorful gender reveals, black-and-white maternity shoots, belly photos on luxury yachts, and viral announcements on TikTok and Instagram. From Cuban influencers based in Miami to global reggaeton stars, various figures in the entertainment industry are simultaneously going through one of the most special stages of their lives.
Followers track every detail with devotion: ultrasound images shared in stories, gender reveals turned into live events, discussions about baby names in the comments, and maternity looks that become trends. Many of these pregnancies have transcended the celebrity world to become cultural phenomena that reflect the increasing visibility of the Cuban and Latin community in digital entertainment.
These are the couples and figures preparing to welcome a new baby:
Flor de Cuba and Alex
The Cuban influencer announced her pregnancy on April 14 with a TikTok video that excited her followers. At just three months along, she is experiencing a very challenging first trimester: “Nausea, fatigue, feeling faint, my face is breaking out, I am swollen.” The pregnancy comes months after she underwent emergency surgery in December 2025 for an ectopic pregnancy that cost her a fallopian tube. This will be her third child in total, but the first with her partner Alex, to whom she got engaged in January 2026 on the beach in Miami Beach.
Samantha Espineira and Norlen Serra
Cuban influencer Samantha Espineira, with over a million followers on Instagram, announced on March 8 alongside her partner Norlen Serra that they are expecting their first baby. On March 23, they celebrated a gender reveal with beige balloons and a large teddy bear: it's going to be a girl. Since then, she has been documenting her pregnancy with photos in a bikini showcasing her baby bump.
Nadia Ferreira and Marc Anthony
The couple announced on January 28 —their third wedding anniversary— that they are expecting their second child together. “What a huge gift life is giving us,” wrote Nadia on Instagram. On March 27, they revealed aboard a luxury yacht, wearing pink shoes, that it will be a girl. This baby will be Marc Anthony's eighth child, who is 57 years old.
Aliday Alter and Tekashi 6ix9ine
The rapper confirmed the pregnancy of his Cuban girlfriend Aliday Alter, 29 years old, days after being released from prison in April. On May 11, they celebrated a gender reveal in Miami streamed live with blue smoke and fireworks: it will be a boy. The event sparked controversy due to the rapper's comments during the livestream. This will be the couple's first child together.
Maluma and Susana Gómez
The Colombian singer announced on May 11—Mother's Day—that he is expecting his second child with Susana Gómez, a 33-year-old architect. In an interview, Maluma revealed that it will be a boy and explained why they waited five months: "I thought it would be nice to enjoy most of the pregnancy without having to think about other things." The 32-year-old artist added, "The surname will continue to live on in the family." They are already parents to two-year-old Paris.
Ja Rulay and Marell Infante
The Cuban reggaeton artist and his girlfriend Marell Infante confirmed in January 2026, during their baby shower, that they are expecting a boy. In April, they shared an emotional black and white maternity photoshoot that went viral. Ja Rulay promised, "I dream every day of holding my baby in my arms and giving him the love and warmth of a father that I never had." Marell replied in the comments, "Our baby is very lucky to have you as a dad."
2026 has undoubtedly become the year of the babies in Latin and Cuban entertainment.
