“My people, I have a surprise for you tonight. Today, we will have the world premiere of my next music video. You will witness something that no one in the whole world is seeing,” the singer said on the night of October 19 from the stage at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., introducing the projection of “Procura.”
He then showed the music video, which consisted of a compilation of happy moments between him and his girlfriend, with whom he has been in a relationship for two years. As the video was about to end, it showed the couple in a doctor’s office and then revealed an ultrasound, confirming Susana’s pregnancy. While this projection left the concert audience in awe, the Colombian singer reacted excitedly. Sitting on the stage, he let tears of happiness flow freely.
“It’s time to have a child,” he confessed in an interview with the Colombian magazine “Revista Vea” in December of last year. “I dream of having a family, children... the time will come, who knows if it will be in 2023, but it’s something I would love,” he revealed then.
