‘90 Day Fiancé’ star Juliana Custodio gives birth to baby boy
Juliana Custodio has given birth to her first child, welcoming a baby boy named Benjamin with Ben Obscura on Tuesday.
"I can't express the sensation of finally holding my kid in my arms and finally feeling like a mother," the "90 Day Fiancé" alum, 23, said on Instagram. "With all of those emotions come anxieties. It's now time to learn and develop with this tiny one.
"This is more than a dream come true," she said. "I'm really grateful for this wonderful family."
In her social media post, the new mom breastfed her young boy in the hospital, noting that she had a "natural delivery with no epidural."
The model confirmed her pregnancy in November 2021, only one month after her and husband Michael Jessen called it quits.
Juliana Custodio and Ben Obscura have welcomed a baby boy. julianacustodiooo/Instagram “So excited for our new adventure,” the then-expectant star told her Instagram followers at the time.
"Words cannot express how great you are; I will be eternally thankful for the pleasure and love you have brought into my life, as well as for making one of my biggest dreams come true," she said. "I am the happiest lady in the world to be able to call you my @ben obscura."
Custodio subsequently defended her milestone, writing via Instagram: “Pls: if you have nothing good to say, please just leave.”
Obscura had proposed to the Brazilian native in January. She filed for divorce from Jessen, 52, one month after displaying him her sparkler and telling him her "would you be future spouse."
Custodio and the former rower married in October 2019, as shown on Season 7 of "90 Day Fiancé."
Jessen announced their breakup on Instagram in October of the following year.
"Today is just our second wedding anniversary and, regrettably, our last," the 2021 unveiling captioned. "Our marriage is a Covid-19 casualty that will not appear in any statistics."
Jessen congratulated his separated wife for "resurfacing healthier and stronger than ever," but he admitted that he required additional time "in intensive care."
The ex-reality star finished by saying he didn't "blame" Custodio for "wanting to go" and that he was "glad" she had "moved on and soon met someone new."
Custodio reacted with her own article about their "toxic" marriage.
"You claim I've met'someone new,' but the fact is that I've discovered pleasure inside myself," she wrote. "I left my life and profession in Europe to be with you because I loved you." But I love myself more, to the point where I understand my worth and want to be happy."
