Peruvian actress Anahí de Cárdenas caught the attention of her fans this weekend with the joyful news of her pregnancy, marking her first step toward motherhood. On her Instagram account, the 41-year-old star expressed her excitement about this new chapter of her life alongside her husband, lawyer Elías Maya.
Announcing the news, Anahí shared a photo of her pregnancy test along with an emotional message: "And life chooses me, and I choose it back. One thousand times. There are few times when I'm left speechless about what I feel, but I believe after everything I've lived through, this is the greatest miracle. We’re eagerly waiting for you, Wibi; you have made your dad and me the happiest and luckiest people in the universe. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Married on October 28, 2022, Anahí and Elías have been through thick and thin together. Elías, who holds degrees from prominent institutions and has worked at renowned law firms, was Anahí's rock during her battle with cancer. The actress previously faced breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, which she overcame thanks to early detection.
"After receiving treatment, Anahí became a passionate advocate for cancer prevention, founding the organization Previene Perú, where they raise funds for social causes such as the Food Bank of Peru and the Peruvian Cancer Foundation," reported local sources.
The pregnancy announcement was met with overwhelming joy and support from Anahí's circle of friends. A video shared on her Instagram highlights the emotional reactions of her friends, including Natalia Salas and Alicia Mercado, capturing moments filled with laughter and tears of happiness as they learned about her pregnancy.
Notably, Anahí shared, "I loved doing this for my friends. It was so much fun and exciting. I love you all dearly! Some people are missing here, but they know I love them just the same." This assertion resonates with her belief about building families not just by blood but by chosen relationships.
The clip, which has gained over 39,000 likes, showcases Anahí’s close-knit friendships and the jubilant atmosphere surrounding her news. She remarked, "Families are not just built from direct and blood ties but with those we choose to bind our lives with. Thank you, chosen family, I love you all from the bottom of my heart."
Before announcing her pregnancy, Anahí had shared her desires to become a mother, stating even back in 2021, "I would like to have children; at some point, I will probably have them. I just have to wait for my treatment to finish. So it will take some time." It highlights her readiness to embrace such life-changing experiences after overcoming her health challenges.
This announcement has undoubtedly captured the hearts of many, reflecting not just personal joy but the connection and support from her friends and fans. Anahí de Cárdenas's story serves as powerful inspiration, reminding everyone of the beauty of resilience, hope, and love.
