In October 2023, Maluma announced in a video for his song “Procura” that he and his girlfriend Susana Gómez were expecting a baby. Since then, he has not been shy about sharing just how excited he is to become a first-time papa, so it comes as no surprise that he and Susana hosted an epic baby shower to celebrate the upcoming birth of their baby girl, Paris.

According to Maluma’s tía Yudi Arias, the baby will be born in March. "Paris arrives in March, my birthday is in March and it falls on my day," she said on the TV Azteca show Ventaneando. This explains why Maluma captioned images from the baby shower he posted on social media with “Comenzó la cuenta regresiva” (start the countdown). The countdown to the baby’s birth has begun, for sure. Check out how Maluma and Susana celebrated the imminent arrival of baby Paris!
It was a co-ed baby shower.
The proud Colombian couple chose to celebrate their baby shower together. I don’t know about you, but I love that co-ed baby showers are not rare anymore. Why shouldn’t both parents be celebrated? And why shouldn’t all genders be welcome to celebrate the parents-to-be?
Was there a theme?
There was certainly a Paris vibe going on, which makes sense since the baby’s name has already been chosen and it’s Paris! So, I guess you could say that even if there was no reference to Paris, France, it was a Paris-themed party.
But there were definitely Parisian vibes going on.
Notice how the "A" in Paris was replaced by a replica of the Eiffel Tower. Then there's the whole outdoor Parisian café set up, complete with architectural backdrop to make it feel more authentic.
But it wasn't all Paris-themed.
Unless mechanical bulls are a big attraction in Paris, but I don't think so. Still, what a fun thing to have at a baby shower. Notice how much fun everyone is having watching Maluma fall off the bull.
Could these two be any cuter?
Susana and Maluma were not shy about getting their smooch on at the party. I think Maluma has caught some of Susana's pregnancy glow because they are both radiant. Or maybe he's just super in love.
Just look at him.
He looks like he's drunk in love and I mean that as a compliment. He just looks so relaxed and happy like he is truly living his best life and luxuriating in every moment. Plus, get a look at the size of that monogrammed bear he's relaxing on. It's HUGE!
The cake was cute.
The tiered cake featured big leaves and cute animals with a lion wearing a crown sitting on the very top. The cake was also decorated to look like it has a little wooden sign on it with the name Paris written across it.
Guests participated in a strange drinking game.
It's not every day that you see grown men cradling other grown men drinking from baby bottles. Or maybe you do see this kind of thing regularly. Maybe you've seen this before, but I haven't.
And some simulated birthing took place.
I don't know what kind of baby shower game this is, but it appears that there is a guy pretending to give birth and another guy pretending to deliver the baby. Everyone sure seems to be having a hilarious time.
Could you change a diaper blindfolded?
I have definitely changed a diaper while sleep deprived and also in the dark, but I never tried to do it blindfolded. Guests at the party tried to do it on dolls. Is it me or does the one doll with the crazy hair look like it's not having a good time?
Of course, there was dancing.
I don't know how much dancing there was, but a video shared of the event, just about everyone joined in and did their best pajaritos steps with Maluma up front and center.
The baby's gender was revealed in the same video that announced the pregnancy.
If you watch the entire "Procura" video, you can see the couple's actual gender reveal party where they jump for joy when pink something or other starts showering all over them. In the video, both Maluma and Susana wear necklaces that say Paris, so it appears that Paris was the chosen name regardless of the baby's gender.
They were first seen holding hands in 2020.
Maluma previously dated Natalia Barulích for a couple of years. They broke things off in October 2019. Maluma and Susana have kept the details of their relationship pretty quiet, but the first time they were seen holding hands in public was in 2020.
Maluma and Susana have known each other since they were children.
Although their love story only started a few years ago, Maluma and Susana Gómez have known each other since they were children. Their families were friends, so they grew up in each other’s worlds.
Susana is also incredibly creative.
Maluma is talented and so is Susana. Unlike Maluma, she expresses her creative talents offstage, though. She is an architect, interior designer, and a jewelry designer as well.
Congratulations to Maluma and Susana as they embark on their most creative adventure ever—parenthood!
