Lele Pons is overflowing with joy after welcoming her daughter earlier this year in July. Now, mother and father, she and her husband, Guaynaa's life has changed completely. For Pons, life has shifted not just at home, but within herself. In a recent interview, the 29-year-old opened up about what baby Eloise has already taught her.
Pons has shared sweet photos on Instagram to celebrate Eloisa’s milestones. During her stop at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, her first solo trip since giving birth, she reflected on how much she’s grown. “I’ve matured, I’m more patient,” she said, adding that motherhood has changed the way she sees her own mom. “In this stage, I’ve connected more with my mom; now I understand her more.”

Everything revolves around her now, not you. Every decision is based on her,” she told Entertainment Tonight.

While in Vegas, Pons also gushed about Guaynaa stepping into fatherhood for the first time. “Oh my God, he’s in love,” she said with a big smile. “She’s a daddy’s girl, and she stops crying when she’s with him. He’s so good at taking care of her, he knows exactly what to do and what she needs,” she added proudly.

Known for her funny videos, Pons has found ways to channel motherhood into her creativity. She recently shared a video about new mom life, showing herself with a breast pump, messy hair, and pajamas as Pons poked fun at the exhaustion of the so-called “fourth trimester.”
She added dark circles under her eyes to show the reality of sleepless nights with a newborn.
