Maria Becerra Shares Ectopic Pregnancy Medical Intervention: ‘I’m in Recovery, Surrounded by Love’

Maria Becerra took to social media on Sept. 5 to share a personal update with her millions of followers.

Posting a photo of herself in a hospital setting and holding hands with her partner J Rei, also a recording artist, the Argentine hitmaker wrote, “Yesterday I had to undergo surgery because I was having an ectopic pregnancy. Fortunately, everything went very well and we are already at home with Juli, recovering surrounded by lots of love.”

She continued to explain that the “unexpected moment” was preceded by pain in her abdomen following rehearsals. “We went to the emergency room where we both found out that the pregnancy was ectopic and with hemorrhage. It was very hard emotionally everything we went through since we were looking forward to being parents and having a baby (which is still in our future plans since we have plenty of love and a whole life ahead of us). Thankfully the amazing medical team and the support of our family and closest friends helped us feel strong and in good hands.”

The “Automático” singer is currently on a short break from her world tour, which is set to resume Sept. 12 in Lima, Peru and, in October, she will kick off the North American leg of the stint with stops in New York, L.A. and Dallas, among other major cities. Becerra is also set to participate in Billboard Latin Music Week 2024, as announced back in July.

“I know some of you may have heard and are worried, that’s why we are telling you, we don’t want false news to be circulating at this delicate time. I want you to know that I am fine and that as the doctors recommended, I will be returning little by little to my routine and to work. Thank you for your messages of support, they really mean a lot to us.”
