The arrival of a child is often described as the happiest moment in a person's life. However, for Juan Luis Londono Arias, known worldwide as Maluma, the birth of his daughter Paris brought with it an unexpected challenge: a battle against depression and anxiety. In a recent revelation on his podcast, Las Cosas Como Son, the "Hawai" singer shared how the first months of fatherhood transformed his emotional stability. "Paris was just born, and everything went haywire; I was the one who experienced postpartum," the artist confessed during a conversation with his aunt, Yudy Arias. Maluma explained that while his partner, Susana Gomez, seemed fulfilled and calm in her new role, he began to experience overwhelming symptoms. Although he clarified that he didn't feel "extreme sadness" that prevented him from functioning, he did deal with persistent anguish, constant worry, and a deep fear of death. "I would ask Susi, 'Aren't you...'" “Feeling like a little pit in my stomach?” And she was fine, she was perfect,” the Colombian singer recounted, emphasizing that parental mental health is a rarely discussed topic. This isn't the first time the singer has opened up about his psychological well-being. Maluma has previously spoken candidly about his panic attacks and how the “dopamine bubble” of fame sometimes prevented him from processing basic emotions for years. Recently, the Colombian singer surprised everyone by announcing the launch of his new project: a podcast focused on mental health. Called “Las cosas como son” (Things as They Are), the Colombian artist presented this initiative on his social media as his “Christmas gift” to his followers, promising to create a space for honest dialogue about the internal struggles that often remain unspoken.
