Cuban actress Danay Cruz, famed for her beloved role as "Lola Mento Guasimita," revealed on Friday that she is expecting her first child with partner Maxime.
"Our greatest joy and blessing is on the way!!! Thank you, God, for this immense gift," the actress shared on Instagram, alongside an emotional reel that quickly garnered reactions from her followers.
In the video, set against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower, Danay holds tiny knitted booties while Maxime proudly displays the ultrasound of their upcoming baby.
The pregnancy announcement unleashed a flood of congratulations from fans, with numerous heartfelt and excited messages. "Aww, I'm crying. Congratulations," one user expressed. Another humorously noted, "Aww, the Guasimita community is growing."
The couple's diverse heritage didn't go unnoticed among admirers. "Congrats, a little French-Cuban baby," one follower commented, while another playfully referred to Danay and her partner's nicknames: "Congratulations, Lola and Fransua." Some speculated it might be a girl — "Here comes a little Lolita" — though the actress hasn't confirmed the baby's gender.
This exciting news comes months after Danay Cruz announced her engagement to Maxime in Paris. He proposed during a dinner on a riverboat-restaurant by the Eiffel Tower, under the guise of a company New Year's Eve party, to which Danay joyfully responded with, "I said yes!"
