The announcement

Martínez posted two photographs on Instagram showing her and Vázquez smiling while holding several ultrasound scans, including a 5D image clearly showing the baby's face. In her message, she wrote: "Hace 7 meses empezó el proyecto más bonito de nuestras vidas" ("7 months ago the most beautiful project of our lives began") and added "Aún no me lo creo" ("I still can't believe it") Source: clarin, infobae. The couple has not disclosed the baby's sex Source: clarin.

Context of her career break

The pregnancy announcement sheds light on Martínez's decision in December 2025 to take an indefinite break from performing. At the time, she said: "No quiero, pero lo necesito más que nunca... El escenario me da la vida pero a veces también me la quita" ("I don't want to, but I need it more than ever... The stage gives me life but sometimes also takes it away") Source: clarin, elconfidencial. Sources agree that this hiatus allowed her to keep the pregnancy private for most of its duration Source: clarin, infobae, elconfidencial.

Relationship and past reflections

Martínez and Vázquez met over 15 years ago at a gym he owned, where he initially denied her entry for trying to bring in two friends Source: infobae. The singer had previously expressed a desire to become a mother but cited her demanding career as a barrier. In 2021 she said "Me encantaría. Yo creo que ya va tocando" ("I would love to. I think it's about time") Source: elconfidencial. Now, with her career on hold, she is focusing on family.
