Tengo algo que compartirles.” Some people thought that the actress was making a pregnancy announcement. 

People started commenting and wishing the actress but still did they did not know that they were in for a bigger surprise. A couple of minutes after Karla uploaded the first picture, she soon shared another one in which she was holding her adorable baby girl. 


She captioned the picture as “God blessed us.” She further wrote, " We welcome our healthy baby girl Gianna, and we couldn’t feel more blessed in this moment."

At the same time, Karla wanted to make sure that her fans got a glimpse of how her pregnancy journey has been.

While another wrote, "Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you! She looks so beautiful!"

Well, maybe, other celebrities can ask her for some tips.
