Mexican artist Natalia Lafourcade surprised fans with the news that she is expecting her first child with her husband, Venezuelan producer, director and documentarist Juan Pablo López-Fonseca.
Although Lafourcade is one of the most recognized female artists in the Mexican music industry—and among the most decorated in the Spanish-speaking world—her personal life has long remained private. Few details were known about her relationship with López-Fonseca, and even less about her pregnancy, although her announcement reveals she is already well into it.
Natalia Lafourcade's Wedding
The first time she publicly acknowledged being married was in 2023, when she mentioned on her YouTube channel that she was leaving for her honeymoon.
"This afternoon I'm happy. Finally, after two years of being married, I'm going on my honeymoon. How wonderful. Maybe we'll write a song for our honeymoon? Okay. I want to share with you that we're getting ready for the next concerts and that I'm really excited about what's coming up," he said enthusiastically.
López-Fonseca had only appeared once before on Lafourcade's social media, in 2021, with the caption "Long live love!", though no one interpreted it as an announcement of romance.
The artists have been working together since at least 2017 and have starred in award-winning projects such as the album-inspired documentaries Musas (2017) and Hasta la Raíz, which won a Latin Grammy for Best Music Video.
Who is Juan Pablo López-Fonseca, Natalia Lafourcade's husband?
Born in Venezuela, this audiovisual artist graduated from the Metropolitan University of Caracas and studied Scenography and Art Direction for Film and a master's degree in Object Theater at the IUNA in Buenos Aires.
He is also the director, producer, and co-founder of CASA ELEFANTE, an audiovisual production company and creative studio in Mexico that produces documentary and fiction content for film, television, and digital media.
The artist published a carousel of photos about her pregnancy on Monday, July 7, and revealed that she is five months pregnant with the caption:
"Five months and we're still on tour, five months and we're still growing. There's a beautiful being inside my body, and I certainly didn't expect this. What a gift from life, at the same time I sing and sing and keep singing for you, my beautiful people. See you very soon in Spain. In the meantime, we'll keep growing."
That means their baby is expected to be born in the final weeks of this year. Congratulations to the expectant parents!
