Dr. and her fiance, Anthony Lopez, have welcomed their second child!
On Thursday, the 38-year-old Real Housewives of Miami star – who already shares 4-year-old son Greyson with Lopez, 45 – announced the birth of her daughter, Genevieve, on her Instagram Story after previously revealing pregnancy in November.
“Mommy and baby girl are recovering from a C-section that occurred a little earlier than expected,” Martin shared as a baby cried in the background. “…I’ll probably take a break from Instagram while we recover, but we’re good.”
She added of her new bundle of joy, “Baby girl is trying to figure things out.”
Before the announcement, the anesthetist took to her Instagram Story earlier this week to tell fans that she was in labor weeks ahead of schedule. According to Martin, Genevieve wasn’t due until April and she was only 35 weeks pregnant at the time of birth.
“So the other day, I told them the girl was going to be an Aries, and all the Aries said, ‘Aries is the best. We are confident, passionate and determined,’” she said Tuesday. “Well guys, in true Aries fashion, the girl has decided that she wants to arrive early because she is very impatient.”
Martin also shared a photo of himself in a hospital bed eating some food while waiting for “baby Gena,” smiling for the camera and thanking friends who came to deliver snacks.
“Get friends to bring arepas to the hospital,” she wrote on Instagram Story, which included a screenshot of a text message.
The couple first shared the exciting news of their second child when they posted a newspaper reveal video with the headline “BABY LOPEZ COMING SOON!” The caption read: “Extra! Extra! Our family is growing ❤️.”
Martin and Lopez met in 2015 and dated for several years before Lopez decided to make their marriage official by proposing on December 31, 2021, while on vacation in Aspen, Colorado, with her beloved son, Greyson, by her side.
In 2022, the couple ET guest to visit their renovated beachfront property and talked about their wedding plans (or lack thereof), saying they were in no rush to walk down the aisle.
“It was something we always talked about,” she said of the engagement. “We’ve both been married before, so that wasn’t on the priority list. There were other things we really wanted to do — like have a family. And then we went down the rabbit hole of renovating a house. Then, there were so many other things that we decided to focus on, and now we feel like the dust has settled.”
