In the final days of the year, Rodri Fuertes decided to share one of the most personal moments of his life with his followers. Together with Marta Castro, they are expecting a daughter, and Rodri has now revealed for the first time how his parents learned they would become grandparents. He kept this moment private until Marta’s pregnancy became visible and their family’s happiness—boundless.
In the carousel of photos and videos he posted, you can see not only ultrasound scans, hospital photos, and family gatherings, but also unique moments never before shared online. Among them is the reaction of Rodri’s parents to the news of a future grandchild. Sitting on the couch, his father listens in surprise and joy as his son says, “You’re going to be a grandfather, it’s true.” His emotions—a mix of shock and happiness—show as he struggles to believe the news, then hugs Rodri tightly, unable to hide his tears. His mother, learning about the new addition right on a restaurant terrace, reacts spontaneously and with humor, adding even more warmth to this family video.
Family changes
The couple officially announced the pregnancy at the end of September, after two years together. For Marta Castro, this will be her second child—she already has a son, Hugo, from her previous marriage to Fonsi Nieto. The news of their upcoming baby is the result of a long journey, which Marta has spoken about openly, not hiding the challenges of planning a family.
Shortly after announcing the pregnancy, Rodri and Marta held a creative gender reveal: they are expecting a girl, due in April 2026. Although the couple shares many details of their lives, they have decided not to reveal the baby’s name for now. This decision sparked a wave of discussion among their followers, who are trying to guess which name the parents will choose.
Warm memories
In his post, Rodri confessed that 2025 was a special year for him. He compiled all the brightest moments in one video: family celebrations, gatherings with friends, professional achievements, and, of course, the long-awaited news about the upcoming baby. “I want nothing from 2026 except health, love, and work,” he wrote, adding that he feels incredibly happy.
Among the memories are some that were never published before: footage with their pets, personal videos with Marta and their son, as well as moments from Rodri’s professional life. Rodri notes that this has been the best year of his career, and he is optimistic about the future.
The name mystery
In a recent video podcast, the couple said they like the names Covadonga for a girl and Pelayo for a boy—both connected to Asturias. Marta admitted she had thought about these names for a long time, while Rodri pointed out that not all of them appeal to him. Despite discussions on social media, the parents are firm in their decision not to reveal their daughter’s name until she is born, wanting to keep at least part of their private life to themselves.
Fans continue to speculate, but the couple is in no hurry to share details. For them, it’s important to keep this moment private despite their public life. Rodri and Marta are confident the baby’s name will be a surprise for everyone when she is born.
