Maluma has revealed why he is nervous about fatherhood while attending the 2024 Grammy Awards.
The Colombian singer, 30, spoke about expecting his first child with his girlfriend Susana Gómez during the MY! Live from the red carpet Previous show. When host Laverne Cox asked him if he was ready to welcome her daughter, whom the couple decided to call Paris, Maluma responded: “I'm not ready. “I’m a little nervous, to be honest.”
Maluma – whose real name is Juan Luis Londoño Arias – explained that he is eager to be a first-time father because “there is no manual for having children.”
Despite his doubts about fatherhood, the “COCO LOCO” singer noted that he is simply going to take things one day at a time. “I'm just going to learn and see what happens,” Maluma said. “All I know is that I will love that baby with all my heart.”
While attending the awards ceremony in Los Angeles, he admitted that it was “a little difficult” leaving his girlfriend in Colombia, but she “knew I had to come here to work, and this is what I love too.”
