The summer of 2024 will forever remain in the memory of model Estela Grande and her partner, footballer Juan Iglesias, as a time of pure happiness. On July 30, the couple announced their upcoming addition on social media, posting a touching video with the first ultrasound images. This news marked the culmination of many years of hope and anticipation, made even more significant against the backdrop of health issues Estela previously faced that had cast doubt on her dream of becoming a mother. Just a few weeks later, their joy doubled when they found out they were expecting twins. Recently, the couple shared yet another exciting detail, posting a video of a 5D ultrasound. In the video, they learn that they will have “la parejita” – a boy and a girl. Every stage of this pregnancy is a true event for them, which they share with their audience, seeing it as a priceless gift after everything they have been through.
Recently, during a conversation with her followers, Estela decided to lift the veil of secrecy and revealed how she found out about her new status. It happened completely unexpectedly during a vacation with Juan. “I took the test one morning because for a couple of days I had been having strange pains in my stomach and legs, and it immediately showed a positive result,” the model shared candidly. To be sure, she took another test, which confirmed the first result. Unlike many public figures, Estela and Juan chose not to film this intimate moment. She explained that this memory would remain only between them, as it was the most important moment in their lives together, one they wanted to experience just the two of them. That evening, according to her, they celebrated with a special dinner, marking the beginning of a new, most beautiful chapter in their story.
However, the road to this happiness was not easy. Before her dream of having a family became a reality, Estela Grande had to go through a serious ordeal. In December 2023, she was urgently hospitalized for surgery to remove a fibroid. The tumor was located in a difficult area of the uterus and was rapidly growing in size. The surgical procedure turned out to be more complicated than expected: behind the first fibroid, doctors discovered a second one, which required opening the uterus for complete removal. After the surgery, doctors strongly advised Estela to take care of herself and informed her that pregnancy would not be possible for a certain period. Despite this, she remained optimistic and focused on her recovery. What had seemed like an insurmountable obstacle has now turned into a remarkable story of hope. Just a few months later, the former “Gran Hermano VIP” contestant not only managed to become pregnant, but is now preparing to become a mother of twins.
