Paulina Rubio is a mommy again.
The Mexican singer and her boyfriend Gerardo Bazua welcomed their boy over the weekend in Miami.
The baby boy arrived a few days earlier than expected, according to People en Español, but is in perfect health.

The couple has been together since 2013, when they met while taping “La Voz Mexico,” the Mexican version of “The Voice.” He was a contestant and she was a coach.
The singer confirmed they were expecting during an exclusive interview with Hola! Magazine in December in which she, Bazua and her son Andrea Nicolas (with ex Nicolas Vallejo Nagera) appear on the cover. She kept the new pregnancy private well into her third trimester.
