How’s this for a Father’s Day present?

Marc Anthony and his wife, Nadia Ferreira, have welcomed a baby. The “I Need to Know” singer announced in an Instagram post on June 18 that he has become a father once again with a black-and-white photo of the baby appearing to be held in his arms.

“God’s timing is always perfect. Happy Father’s Day,” he wrote in Spanish and English. Ferreira also posted the same photo and caption on her Instagram page. It's unclear when the baby was born.

Anthony, 54, and Ferreira, 24, married in January and announced on Valentine’s Day they were having a baby.

“Best Valentine’s Gift Ever!!!” they captioned a photo of themselves touching Ferreira’s stomach in a joint Instagram post.

A little over a week later, Anthony also rubbed Ferreira’s stomach at the 2023 Premio Lo Nuestro awards, which honors the best in Spanish-language music, when he won tropical album of the year.

“Mami, te amo,” he said to her during his acceptance speech, telling Ferreira he loves her in Spanish. The camera panned to her and she replied, “Te amo.”

This is the first child for the Paraguayan-born Ferreira, who was Miss Universe runner-up in 2021, while Anthony has six other children. He shares daughter Arianna and son Chase with ex Debbie Rosado. He and ex-wife Dayanara Torres have sons Cristian, 22, and Ryan, 19. He also shares twins Emme and Max, 15, with ex-wife Jennifer Lopez.
