Lele Pons

The dress code is pajamas. On her new podcast, Suite 305, Lele Pons invites guests to settle in for conversations that feel more like a sleepover than a traditional interview. Shakira opened the season talking about motherhood and perfectionism, and Paris Hilton, Natti Natasha, Mau y Ricky, Ester Expósito and members of the Bridgerton cast have since joined her.

Launched in June by iHeartPodcasts’ My Cultura and the TikTok Podcast Network, Suite 305 also streams on Netflix, giving Pons a new platform at a moment when her life has changed considerably. “I’m entering a new phase of life and have a much broader perspective now,” she said this summer. She also acknowledged something that would have been harder for her to say a few years ago: she is no longer afraid of being canceled for speaking her mind.

That is quite a shift for someone who learned early how closely the internet watches. Born in Caracas and raised in Miami, Pons became the first creator to surpass one billion loops on Vine, helping shape social media comedy before being an influencer was a conventional career. She eventually moved into music and television, building an Instagram audience of more than 52 million along the way. “Se Te Nota,” her 2020 collaboration with Guaynaa, has surpassed 500 million Spotify streams. The two married in 2023.

Recently, motherhood has naturally rearranged Pons’ days. She welcomed her daughter Eloísa in 2025, and she hasn’t shied away from talking about the harder parts of pregnancy and becoming a mom.

She has long spoken publicly about living with OCD, and this year discussed feeling “out of control” after stopping her medication during pregnancy. The strict routine she once kept online, including posting every day at the same time, no longer fits her life. As she put it simply, “Now that I’m a mom, I can’t do that anymore.”

There has been plenty of fun in 2026, too. Pons joined Sofía Vergara as a guest judge during America’s Got Talent Season 21 and formed a Latina Mami Club with Natti Natasha, Nadia Ferreira, Greeicy and other mothers. Then came one of those moments that had nothing to do with a stage or a camera: in September, she shared her 13-month-old Eloísa taking her first steps.

Pons has spent much of her career making millions of people laugh, watch and follow along. These days, what she wants to share is changing because her life is changing. Suite 305 gives her a place for that version of Lele, pajamas included.
