Los Angeles is buzzing with baby fever, and R&B heartthrob Mario is at the center of it all! The singer, known for his silky smooth hits like “Let Me Love You,” just turned 38 on August 27, and he celebrated with the ultimate gift - news of his first child with girlfriend Esmeralda Rios. Talk about a Virgo season glow-up!
Breaking the news straight from the Hollywood hills (or at least his Instagram Stories), Mario shared a tender snap of his hand resting on Esmeralda’s growing baby bump. The vibe? Pure joy with a side of West Coast cool. This SoCal crooner is ready to trade late-night studio sessions for late-night diaper runs, and we’re here for it.
Mario couldn’t hold back his excitement, captioning the bump pic with, “It’s a whole universe in there!” He’s not wrong - fatherhood is about to open up a whole new world for this LA-based artist. Fans are already flooding his socials with heart emojis and congrats, proving that the love for Mario runs deep on the West Coast and beyond.
“I’m feeling blessed beyond words - becoming a dad on my birthday is the best gift I could ask for,” Mario shared in a heartfelt post.
In a follow-up birthday post on Instagram, Mario dropped a photo dump complete with a sweet video of him rubbing Esmeralda’s belly. Captioned “BDAY VIBES #virgoseason” and “Thank you God! WE LOCKED IN,” it’s clear this dude is all in for the dad life. We can almost hear the Pacific Ocean waves cheering him on from Malibu!
As Mario steps into this new role, the LA music scene is already speculating - will we get some baby-inspired ballads soon? After all, this is the guy who’s been melting hearts since the early 2000s, and a little one might just be his next big muse. We’re picturing lullabies with that signature R&B flair, straight from a Venice Beach recording sesh.
For now, though, it’s all about soaking in the moment. Mario and Esmeralda are keeping the deets under wraps - no word yet on due dates or baby names - but one thing’s for sure: this power couple is bringing some serious family vibes to the Golden State. Stay tuned, fam, ‘cause this is one SoCal story we’re gonna be following closely!
