Maluma Says ‘Everything Changed’ When He Became a Father

Maluma‘s life is as complete as it gets. That’s the reverberating effect of fatherhood.

The Colombian-born superstar opened up about how fatherhood has changed him in a new interview with Allure. The 30-year-old Latin GRAMMY-winning star and his girlfriend, Susana Gómez, welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named Paris, back in March.

Life’s been bliss ever since.

“Everything changed. And I love it,” Maluma tells the magazine when asked what life’s been like since becoming a father.

The “Cuatro Babys” rapper, who in a matter of years became a global sensation following the release of F.A.M.E., says being a father’s the ultimate motivator.

“Now, I wake up every day with the desire to conquer the world,” he says. “I know I have to f***ing kill it. For Paris, nothing is impossible.”

And it starts with giving his baby girl someone to look up to.

“You have to lead by example,” he continues. “I go to bed every night that I can at 9 and wake up at 5:30 to hit the gym because I want to be healthy. You want to live forever for your kids. I want to make her proud.”

It was just a few months ago when Maluma shared that his baby girl, Paris Londoño Gome, was born on March 9 at 8:23 a.m..

Maluma, who also goes by Juan Luis Londoño Arias, posted a black-and-white photo of little Paris holding his finger. The Colombia superstar’s birth announcement post continued with another black-and-white image of him kissing Susana on the forehead while she held their baby girl. Maluma rounded out his post with a picture of him getting skin-to-skin time with Paris as she rested her head on his chest while her doting dad kissed her. 

Ahead of the baby girl’s birth, Maluma explained to ET the origin of his daughter’s name.

“We made her in Paris,” said.

And ahead of her arrival, the rapper-singer shared he was “nervous.”

“I’m not ready. I’m nervous… They don’t bring any manual… or instructions, so I just want to go with the flow,” he said. “I want to see how it is. I just want to love her. I want to be with her all the time and I’m already in love with her.”
