Isabella Ladera, a renowned Venezuelan influencer with over 12 million followers, recently disclosed on her Instagram story that she gained more than 20 kilograms during her pregnancy. Her candid revelation charmed her followers.
It all began when a fellow expectant mom reached out with a question about weight gain. Isabella's response was refreshingly honest and empowering: "I was never concerned about my weight; my only focus is that my baby is healthy, measuring and weighing as he should, with all the necessary fluids. I gained over 20 kilos, and it doesn't worry me. I'm simply enjoying this phase."
These words encapsulate the philosophy that has guided the content creator through her pregnancy: free of pressure and insecurities, with attention on what truly matters.
Countdown to Baby's Arrival
The much-anticipated moment is nearly here. Isabella is in her 38th week of pregnancy, expecting to give birth in July. This means the child she is expecting with Peruvian model and influencer Hugo García could arrive at any moment.
On Wednesday, Isabella dropped a subtle hint on TikTok: "POV: It's time to cut my nails because my baby is about to be born." This small detail was immediately picked up by her millions of followers as a sign that the countdown has begun.
A Journey of Love
The journey to this point has been one of love, which Isabella has openly shared. She announced her pregnancy on February 13, 2026, with an ultrasound photo, and revealed she was expecting a boy on April 7.
In the same announcement, her eldest daughter, Mía Antonella, born in 2020, participated by kissing her mom's belly, creating a heartwarming moment that melted social media.
Isabella and Hugo made their relationship public in October 2025 after months of speculation and a growing bond. Hugo, 33, previously a contestant on the Peruvian reality show "Esto es Guerra," is about to become a father for the first time. The couple resides in Miami, where they plan to welcome their baby.
As her followers eagerly watch each update, Isabella shows that motherhood, with its changes and extra pounds, can be embraced with gratitude and joy.
