After sharing the news on Mother’s Day that he and girlfriend Susana Gómez are expecting baby number two, Maluma revealed its gender exclusively to Billboard.
“It’s a boy,” he says to Billboard’s Leila Cobo. “We’re still thinking about the name, but we have many options.”
The Colombian artist shared the exciting baby news on Sunday (May 10) via an Instagram photo featuring his girlfriend’s baby bump and their two-year-old daughter, Paris Londoño Gómez, planting a kiss on the belly.
He kept the secret under wraps for five months, expressing to Cobo: “First and foremost, for the sake of health at home. It felt lovely to enjoy a large part of my [partner’s] pregnancy without having to think about other things — simply being with my family.”
Ahead of the release of his seventh studio album Loco X Volver on Thursday (May 14), Maluma couldn’t hold back the excitement of his second child on the way, following the birth of his baby girl in 2024.
“With this baby — and especially knowing that it’s a boy — I am filled with a happiness and joy that is very different from my first pregnancy,” he admits.
Furthermore, the 32-year-old artist born Juan Luis Londoño Arias elaborates on the importance of having a son.
“This is a very old-school way of thinking, but my grandfather and dad are absolutely thrilled because the family name is going to live on,” he expresses. “For my grandfather, that is incredibly important…for me, family is very important, and if Grandpa is happy, that makes everything in the family circle work.”
