Mario has officially embarked on the journey of fatherhood!

The celebrated R&B artist, along with his partner, is rejoicing over the arrival of their newborn son. Mario broke the joyful news on Instagram Stories, accompanied by a heartwarming photo from the hospital.

The snapshot shows the singer clad in blue scrubs, commemorating the birth of his little one.

“Women are truly divine creations because what I witnessed today was nothing short of miraculous! Welcome to our healthy baby boy!” Mario expressed passionately in his post.

Further details about the birth have yet to be disclosed.

Mario and his partner first revealed they were expecting in August 2025, sharing a series of maternity photos on social media. One image showed Mario standing behind his girlfriend with his hands placed on her baby bump, while another captured him leaning down to kiss her stomach.

In the caption, the mom-to-be kept the announcement playful, writing, “Whooopps I ate too much brownies.”

The pregnancy news sparked heavy discussion online. While many fans congratulated the couple, others revived criticism tied to the race of Mario’s girlfriend.

One user on X commented on the reaction, writing, “What an interesting thing to see Black women crashing out on the internet over Mario’s girlfriend and her baby bump. He doesn’t even know you, sistas!”

Mario previously addressed backlash over his personal life during a December 2024 appearance on Way Up With Angela Yee, where he spoke about his partner and defended their relationship.

“I love her, yeah of course, but it’s a safe place,” he said. “She’s a good person. I trust her. If I trust you and you’re a good person and I know you’re not trying to be all in the blogs and stuff like that…”

During the interview, Mario also shut down speculation about his girlfriend’s background, clarifying that she is Mexican.
