Cuban actress Danay Cruz recently delighted her Instagram followers by sharing the heartfelt reaction of her French in-laws upon learning they were about to become grandparents. The video captures a moment filled with surprise, emotion, and pure joy, something her audience had eagerly awaited.
This genuine clip follows a humorous sketch previously posted by Danay, where her comedic character Lola Mento Guasimita exaggeratedly announced the pregnancy to her French in-laws. The sketch humorously referenced Cuban ration books and cooking with charcoal during power outages, making the mother-in-law nearly faint from shock, which only fueled public curiosity for the real-life reaction.
In the new Instagram reel, the French family receives the news with gasps of astonishment, heartfelt hugs, and teary eyes, truly capturing the emotional depth and happiness of the occasion.
The actress herself described the scene as follows: "Here it is, what you all have been waiting for and many requested! My in-laws' reaction. Thank you! I am certain they will be wonderful grandparents, and our baby will be blessed to grow up surrounded by so much love."
Surprises on social media began when Danay publicly announced her first pregnancy from Paris, with the iconic Eiffel Tower in the background. Her partner, Maxime, held the ultrasound image while she displayed a pair of knitted baby shoes. She expressed her joy by writing, "Our greatest joy and blessing is on the way. Thank you, God, for this immense gift."
Just two days later, she surprised her mother with the pregnancy news as a special birthday gift, accompanied by a heartfelt message: "If you're the best as a mother, I can't imagine how amazing you'll be as a grandmother."
The love story between Danay and Maxime also includes a memorable romantic chapter. In December 2025, Maxime proposed to Danay on a boat-restaurant on the River Seine, with the illuminated Eiffel Tower as the backdrop. Under the guise of a company year-end party, he asked for her hand, and Danay joyfully accepted.
