AceShowbiz - Jackie Cruz is officially a mom. Announcing that she has welcomed twins with her husband Fernando Garcia, the Marisol "Flaca" Gonzales depicter on "Orange Is the New Black" gushed about "feeling content" in life.
The 35-year-old broke the exciting news on Instagram by sharing a black-and-white maternity photo and a picture of her newborns' feet. Alongside the Wednesday, March 23 post, she raved, "Being a mother has changed my world. My babies are everything to me. I've been taking my time to enjoy every moment."
"I'm feeling content, exhausted, overwhelmed, grateful, tired, joyful, blessed, and fortunate all at the same time. My Babies are healthy and beautiful," the actress added. "I want to thank my gorgeous friend @elenakosharny for capturing this image right before I met my babies. We were lost en el bosque de Tlalpan, Mexico surrounded by nature and Love."
It remains unclear when Jackie gave birth to her babies. However, her husband Fernando posted an image of him with a stroller in late February. Alongside the snap, the new dad penned, "A man never truly understands the meaning of life until he has a family of his own. God is great."
Jackie went public with her pregnancy in December 2021. "It's been a wonderful pregnancy, honestly," she said in an interview with PEOPLE. "I've been working on it for a few years. I've had some issues with fertility."
Unlike her spouse, the former model was in a rush to conceive and didn't believe she could do it naturally. "Going to doctors, they want you to take all this medicine. My husband, he's really into just being natural and believing that you can do it," she explained. "I was against it."
"I was like, 'No, I want this now.' But he was like, 'No, come on. Give your body a chance. This is what the woman is made for,' " she went on recalling. "But some people are different. Some people have to take fertility [medication], but we wanted to try natural first. And of course, if that didn't work, there were other avenues."
Jackie and Fernando got married in August 2020 in Oaxaca, Mexico. When confirming their marriage, the actress shared a picture of the couple's hands with a picturesque beach in the background and she simply wrote in the caption, "8/28/20."
