Jay Wheeler and Zhamira Zambrano are first-time parents! The couple announced the exciting news in a joint post on Wednesday (Sept. 4).
“Welcome princess, we love you with our life,” reads the caption, which accompanies two adorable photos in which the newborn’s tiny feet and hands are shown.
The Puerto Rican artist and Venezuelan emerging act first announced they were expecting their first child on June 13 via a collaboration post on Instagram. “Bienvenida,” read the caption alongside four images of the couple embracing each other lovingly.
To coincide with the news, Zambrano also released a single called “Bienvenida,” with a music video that documented her pregnancy. “My life is about to change in a couple more months,” she croons sweetly against a slow pop ballad.
Wheeler and Zambrano tied the knot in December, and that same month dropped their second collaborative effort, “Extrañándote,” following “Dícelo” in 2022. The former earned Zambrano her first top 10 on the Latin Pop Airplay chart and Wheeler his third. They also performed the song at the 2024 Latin American Music Awards this April.
Zambrano will be participating in the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Week, joining previously announced artists such as J Balvin, Alejandro Sanz, Peso Pluma, Maria Becerra and Gloria Estefan, to name a few.
Celebrating its 35th anniversary, Billboard Latin Music Week — the “most important week in Latin music” — will take place Oct. 14-18 at The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater. Tickets are already available for purchase here.
