Nadia Ferreira and Marc Anthony are parents once more. The Paraguayan model has given birth to a baby girl. They shared the first photo of their daughter on social media and have revealed her name, completing the family’s joy. With the baby’s arrival, Marquito, who celebrated his third birthday this past June, is officially a big brother.
In the black-and-white photo, the family of four appears together: Marc Anthony on one side, Nadia Ferreira on the other, and Marquito in the middle, holding his baby sister in his arms in his debut as a big brother. Alongside the image, which has quickly become one of the family’s most adorable yet, the caption introduces the name of the baby: Myla.
“What a huge blessing to share with you all the arrival of our precious MYLA. You have no idea how happy we are at home; we’re over the moon,” reads the post’s caption.

It wasn’t until the baby’s birth that her name was revealed. The only hint had come at the baby shower this past June, where the couple teased the name of their daughter with the letter “M” featured in the decor.
It was this past January, during their third wedding anniversary celebration, when Marc and Nadia shared the happy news that they were expecting their second baby together. “Happy third anniversary! What an incredible gift life has given us. God is great. Marquito is going to be a big brother,” wrote Ferreira alongside a photo showing her growing baby bump, with her hand, her husband’s, and their young son’s all resting on it.

Nadia Ferreira and Marc Anthony: Their dream of having a girl
After becoming parents to Marquito in 2023, the couple talked about the possibility of trying for another baby, hoping this time for a girl.
“We always wanted another baby, and obviously our dream was for it to be a girl, and we got that. God blessed us with a girl,” said Ferreira in an interview with HOLA!

The sweet moment happened right during New Year’s celebrations, with some help from loved ones in on the secret. “He wanted a girl and so did I, and that’s when we found out. It was really special. We found out on New Year’s, on December 31st. Someone in my family had gotten the news, because my family was here in Miami for the holidays. They’d gotten the results that same day, December 31st,” she recalled.
“So we wanted to know what we were expecting, a boy or a girl. And I told them, ‘Please, come up with any surprise you want. But we want to know right when the clock strikes 12, when it becomes January 1, 2026, we want to know what we’re expecting.’ It was the best way to start the year, with Marquito right there, the three of us together, when they gave us the surprise and we saw pink everywhere,” she concluded.
