Marc Anthony is a father once again! The singer’s wife, Nadia Ferreira, has given birth to the couple’s second child together, a baby girl named Myla.
Myla is Marc's eighth child, and the duo shared a joint Instagram announcement on July 21, revealing the news of her arrival
"What a huge blessing to share with you the arrival of our precious MYLA," Marc and Nadia shared. 'You can’t imagine the happiness we feel at home."
The pictures showed their son, three-year-old Marco, holding his baby sister, as Marc and Nadia leaned over their children. A second snap was a close-up of Nadia holding her little girl's hand, while Marc and Marco held her arm.
The name Myla is of Slavic origins, most commonly meaning "merciful" or "gracious".
Marc, 57 is also dad to six other kids: daughter Arianna, 32, and son Chase, 36, with ex-girlfriend Debbie Rosado; sons Cristian, 25, and Ryan, 22, with ex-wife Dayanara Torres; and twins Emme and Maximilian, 18, with ex-wife Jennifer Lopez.
Celebrity friends were quick to share their love with Prince Royce sending his "blessings," and Ken Paves commenting: "Congratulations!! I’m so happy for you."
Nadia and Marc married in 2023 and on their third wedding anniversary shared the news of their second pregnancy.

Nadia, a former Miss Universe Paraguay, was celebrated in a lavish baby shower in June, and shared a series of beautiful photographs from the event, giving fans a glimpse inside the pink-themed gathering.
Nadia, 26, looked radiant in a floor-length blush pink gown featuring a dramatic cape detail draped over one shoulder, and standing proudly beside her was Marc, who coordinated with his wife in a pale pink blazer paired with cream trousers and loafers.

While the singer has had an incredibly successful career, during a conversation with CBS Sunday Morning, he expressed regret over not being as present a father as he'd have liked, due to his commitments as a musician.
"The one regret would be that what I chose to do took so much of my time…What I would have done to have been a stay-at-home dad, and you know, witnessed every second of everything," he remarked. "I would have loved that. Didn't work out that way."
He added: "It's the one thing that just tugs at me going and — that's the biggest sacrifice. And you start to wonder, 'Was it all worth it? Was it worth it?' You know, on that level."
