Cuban actress Danay Cruz turned her mother's birthday into a truly memorable event this Monday by posting a video on Instagram that captured her mom's reaction upon learning she would soon become a grandmother.
"Today is my mom's birthday (the most beautiful of all moms, for the record), and I want to celebrate it with her reaction when she found out she would be a Grandma," the actress shared alongside the touching reel. The video shows her mother receiving the news with a mix of astonishment and joy.
Danay described the revelation as the most special gift she could give: "I think I couldn't give you a better present this time."
In the heartwarming family video, Danay's mother lifts the lid off a dish to discover tiny shoes and an ultrasound image inside.
The post quickly gathered over 3,400 likes and 144 comments, with congratulatory messages pouring in for both the future grandmother and Danay herself.
Taking the opportunity to express her affection, the actress wrote, "If you are already the best as a mother, I can't imagine how you will be as a grandma."
The pregnancy announcement came just two days earlier, on Saturday, from Paris with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop. Danay was seen with her partner Maxime, displaying some knitted baby shoes while he held the ultrasound of their child.
In that post, the actress stated, "Our greatest joy and blessing is on the way," adding, "Thank you, God, for this immense gift."
This will be the couple's first child, and the baby's gender has not yet been disclosed by the actress.
The joyful news arrives just seven months after Danay announced her engagement to Maxime in December 2025, when he surprised her with a proposal at a restaurant boat on the Seine River, with the illuminated Eiffel Tower in the background.
