The couple announced their baby news in April in a cover interview for Vogue Mexico magazine while sharing the cover on Instagram at the time, Valentina wrote: “The family is growing”.

In the interview for the magazine, the former Miss Argentina admitted she “couldn’t believe it” when she found out she was pregnant.

She said: “After quarantine, I said: ‘This is my moment. No, not my moment. This is my baby’s moment.’

And the 27-year-old beauty recalled how her partner “froze” when she told him the news.

She continued: “He froze. He was happy, but it was like a call from Zoom that does not work when the WiFi crashes. He stayed frozen. I told him in person, but that’s how he reacted.”

Valentina has encouraged other expectant mothers to keep “closer” to their families.

She added: “Keep being yourself, doing the things you do, just be careful and get closer to your family.”
