Jorge Macri He publicly confirmed that he will be a father again. He did it himself, without intermediaries, through his social networks. “This blessing of a new son arrives with Belén,” he wrote last night in X. Macri is 60 years old, and this will be his fourth child: he is already the father of three, the result of his first marriage.
His wife, the journalist María Belén Ludueñais 39. And the news is enhanced by something she had said this year, in a well-remembered television episode: through tears, she revealed that she was undergoing fertility treatment. He talked about the physical exhaustion, the emotional ups and downs and the medical support. It was an unusual scene on TV: the exposure of something intimate, in real time, without shields, and in first person.
“Today I want to share one of the most beautiful news of my life,” Macri wrote. And he added that being a father, for him, “changes everything.” He claimed fatherhood as a central axis of his life and said that his three children are “the most beautiful thing” that happened to him.
Ludueña, for her part, accompanied the announcement with her own message on Instagram: “All this love and more is for you, my life. Happy with the news of your arrival. This is how we wait for you.” And she added a spiritual reference that was already known to her circle and her followers: “Thank you, little Virgin, for granting our wish and very grateful for all your prayers and cards that have been coming to me for a long time. We are going to be parents!”
The couple married in November 2022, after four years of dating. They met in 2018 during an interview. She has told it many times: he was invited to her program, they chatted, they took a photo and the first sign remained. Afterwards there were scattered messages, Christmas greetings, small approaches. And a decisive role of a third party: Eduardo Feinmann. She said it was he who told her “give it a chance, don’t close yourself off.”
This is how it started a relationship that was consolidated in publicwho got married when Macri was already an established figure in politics and she was a journalist with a daily presence on TV, and who now has a son.
In the midst of the dense political agenda that is going through the country, the news broke into another record. Not because it escapes the public—both are public figures—but because it touches a chord that exceeds politics. Stories of assisted fertility, pregnancies that require waiting and treatment, are increasingly part of contemporary biographies. Ludueña chose to tell it. He chose to put words to it before he even knew if it was going to work. This gesture makes the announcement of this pregnancy have a different power. Less spectacular and more human.
