Cyn Santana has been keeping a lil’ secret from her four-million-plus Instagram fans! The 31-year-old is expecting her second child, and her baby bump is definitely bumpin’!
For context, Santana is already a mommy to a six-year-old son named Lexington, whom she shares with former fiancée Joe Budden. The former couple welcomed him in December 2017. According to BET, they were in a relationship that lasted about three years and included a four-month engagement before Cyn dipped out in spring 2019.
Cyn Santana Reveals She’s Pregnant
The ‘Love & Hip Hop’ alum announced her pregnancy on Monday (July 29) by revealing what appears to be a maternity shoot. The Dominican beauty wore a long-sleeved white sundress, with her growing bump fully exposed and poking through! In the slow-motion video announcement, Santana rubbed her bump with her feet kicked up on a couch. Her wavy hair was swooped to one side.
Cyn Santana kept her caption simple, writing, “Life been showing out lately,” with a white-heart emoticon. Watch her announcement video below.
At the time, there were no signs that Cyn Santana spun the block to procreate with Joe a second time. And that might be highly unlikely, given her past comments on their breakup.
In an October 2019 episode of ‘Brunch With Tiffany,’ Santana explained that the decision to leave Budden was not mutual. Instead, she claimed that leaving was for her “mental health…peace” and for herself and Lexington.
“It was a decision that I had to make on my own. This wasn’t a unison thing. How can I keep this very sweet? Basically, let’s just say that I’m probably the happiest I’ve ever been and that was probably the best decision that I’ve made in my entire life. In the 26 years I have of living on this earth, the best decision I made was leaving that relationship. And my son and I are amazing.”
Additionally, Cyn Santana’s Instagram feed shows no signs of a bae or romantic relationship.
Elsewhere online, folks speculated that singer Brent Faiyaz might be expecting with Cyn after a blog reported so. For context, they were spotted together in 2023. However, he took to social media to seemingly shut down those claims, writing, “Fake news.”
Nonetheless, fans also noted in her comment section that she had a huge diamond ROCK on her left hand’s ring finger. So, perhaps our good sis is also keeping an engagement under wraps? Take that one with a grain of salt, though, given that Cyn has not spilled any tea on her unborn baby’s father.
What Has Cyn Been Up To Lately?
Baby bumpin’ aside, Cyn has seemingly continued to be the Beyoncé, car karaoke-loving personality fans fell in love with during her time on ‘Love & Hip Hop New York.’
In recent years, she’s also worked to create a lane in Spanish rap and R&B. Last summer, she gagged fans with her sultry track, ‘Veneno.’
Earlier this year, in April, Cyn Santana revealed she had landed her first movie role. The accomplishment had been on her vision board for the year.
“It’s been such a fun challenge preparing for this role. I’m superrrrrr nervous but so excited for you guys to meet Carla. Thank you to the team for believing in me and my talent. I am incredibly excited to step into this new chapter of my career and see how far we soar. I’m grateful!!”
