Grammy-winning singer Marc Anthony and his wife, Nadia Ferreira, announced on January 28, 2026, that they are expecting their second child together. The announcement came via a joint Instagram post on the couple's third wedding anniversary. It marks Anthony's eighth child overall.
The post featured a photo of Ferreira's baby bump, with hands from Anthony, Ferreira, and their young son Marco placed on her belly. The caption read: "Happy 3rd anniversary!! Qué regalo tan grande nos da la vida. Dios es grande Marquito is going to be a big brother. " The Spanish portion translates to "What a great gift life gives us. God is great."
Anthony, 57, and Ferreira, 26, did not disclose a due date or additional details about the pregnancy. The news was shared publicly on social media and quickly spread across entertainment outlets.
The Couple's Relationship and Family
Anthony and Ferreira began dating in 2022 after rumors surfaced following an outing in Mexico City. They confirmed their relationship in March 2022 with an Instagram selfie captioned, "Que Dios les multiplique todo lo que ustedes nos desean" ("May God multiply all that you wish us").
The couple got engaged three months later during a party in Miami. They married on January 28, 2023, in a high-profile ceremony in Miami attended by celebrities including Romeo Santos, Daddy Yankee, Maluma, Luis Fonsi, Salma Hayek, and David Beckham.
They welcomed their first child, son Marco (often nicknamed Marquito), in June 2023. Ferreira has previously described motherhood in social media posts, including a message on Marco's first birthday in June 2024: "Today marks one year since you came into the world... Happy birthday to the greatest blessing of my life. My beloved Marco!"
The new baby will be Ferreira's second child and Anthony's eighth.
