R&B Singer Mario Announces His Latina Girlfriend Is Pregnant!
It looks like R&B singer Mario is about to trade in love songs for lullabies. The 37-year-old crooner, best known for his early-2000s hits like “Let Me Love You,” just announced some big news — his girlfriend is pregnant, and the couple is already showing off the baby bump.
Mario’s Big Reveal
Mario shared the happy update with fans this week, posting a series of pictures of himself and his stunning Latina girlfriend, who proudly displayed her growing belly. In one photo, Mario cradled her bump with a huge smile on his face, while in another, the pair looked every bit the glowing, expectant parents-to-be.
While Mario has kept much of his personal life low-key in recent years, he clearly wanted the world to know about this milestone moment. Fans were quick to flood his comments section with congratulations, with many noting how happy and settled he looks.
Who Is the Lucky Lady?
Mario hasn’t always been super public about his relationships, which is why fans were surprised to learn he’s not only in love but starting a family. His girlfriend, described as Latina and absolutely gorgeous, has yet to step fully into the spotlight, but the pictures speak for themselves — the two look smitten.
Media Take Out confirmed that the woman’s name is Esmerelda Rios, and she’s Mexican-American and :works in real estate.”
Industry insiders say the relationship has been going strong for a while, even though Mario has been careful about keeping things out of the tabloids. But with a baby on the way, the couple is finally letting their love story shine in public.
From Teen Heartthrob to Fatherhood
For fans who grew up with Mario’s music, this is a full-circle moment. The Baltimore native burst onto the scene as a teenager, capturing hearts with his smooth vocals and soulful delivery. Over the years, he’s managed to maintain a steady career, appearing on reality TV shows like Empire and releasing new music for his loyal fanbase.
Now, he’s preparing to take on his biggest role yet: fatherhood.
Social Media Reactions
As soon as Mario made the announcement, social media lit up with fans reminiscing about their teenage crush on the R&B singer. “Mario is about to be somebody’s daddy?!” one fan tweeted. “We’re officially old.”
Another wrote: “This is so cute. I’m glad he found happiness. He deserves it.”
Of course, a few playful comments popped up too. Some joked that Mario should start working on a “baby-making album” since he clearly knows a thing or two about love songs.
What’s Next for Mario?
While it’s unclear if the singer plans to take a break from music once the baby arrives, fans are already predicting that fatherhood will inspire his next project. Given Mario’s history of pouring real-life emotion into his songs, don’t be surprised if his upcoming work is filled with reflections on love, family, and growth.
For now, though, it looks like Mario is soaking up the joy of becoming a dad. And judging from the glow on both him and his girlfriend in the photos, the couple is more than ready to step into this next chapter together.
