An Intimate Revelation
Ladera revealed the pregnancy through a deeply personal video clip, documenting the moment she discovered she was expecting. The video, shared with her followers, captured her emotional reaction – tears and visible excitement – as a home pregnancy test confirmed the positive result. She described the moment as “magical,” even though she had already suspected she might be pregnant.
In an interview with HOLA! magazine, Ladera explained that the positive result followed several previous attempts that had been unsuccessful, making the confirmation all the more meaningful. “I was shocked, it was news that gave me a lot of gratitude,” she shared.
Differences in This Pregnancy
Ladera has been open about the differences she’s experiencing in this pregnancy compared to her first, with her five-year-old daughter, Mia Antonella. She reports that the current pregnancy has been more challenging, with more pronounced symptoms. These include persistent nausea, frequent and intense headaches, significant fatigue and marked mood swings. “This pregnancy has been more difficult, We see completely different from the one I had with Mia,” she stated.
Hugo García’s Emotional Response
García’s reaction to the news was equally emotional. Ladera initially planned a more elaborate surprise, involving balloons and decorations, but her excitement led her to tell him spontaneously while they were in a park. García reportedly responded with tears and expressed how long he had been hoping for this news: “He told me: ‘I’ve been waiting for this news for so long,’ and he started crying for a while.”
The couple announced the pregnancy publicly with a photograph of the ultrasound and Ladera’s growing belly, accompanied by the message: “Half yours, half mine. Ours.” The post quickly received over 1.5 million reactions and numerous congratulatory comments.
Privacy and Future Plans
While the couple has shared their joy with the public, they are choosing to keep some details private. Ladera has declined to disclose her exact stage of pregnancy, stating, “I prefer to keep it to myself,” prioritizing her peace of mind. They are currently considering names for the baby, looking for options suitable for either a boy or a girl.
Responding to Criticism
The announcement also sparked some debate online, including comments from Stephanie Abasali, a former Miss Venezuela, who questioned the acceptance of having children outside of marriage. Ladera responded directly, defending her relationship and commitment to García. “I hope you never have to feel and live firsthand that this role does not guarantee you that,” she stated, emphasizing that commitment is built through daily choices and a strong bond, rather than solely through legal documentation.
Ladera and García are now preparing for the arrival of their child, surrounded by the support of family, friends, and colleagues. While the exact due date remains undisclosed, estimates suggest the birth will occur between and .
