The wait is over for Lucía Pombo and Álvaro López Huerta . The eldest sister of the well-known clan has given birth to her first child, a daughter named Lola Belén, at a clinic in Madrid. The birth, which took place last Wednesday, July 22, was one of the most anticipated moments for the family and their followers, who closely followed the influencer and race car driver's pregnancy.
The baby girl arrived after 41 weeks of gestation , in a natural birth that proceeded without complications, according to sources close to the family. Both mother and baby are in perfect health, and the father, visibly moved, said that the moment he held his daughter for the first time was unforgettable. "I was overcome with emotion when they placed the baby on me," Álvaro told ¡Hola! magazine.
The birth of Lola Belén
The couple went to the hospital on Tuesday, July 21st, and after a few hours of waiting, Lola Belén was born around 3:00 p.m. the following day. Lucía, who has always maintained a more private profile than her sisters, shared her first impressions as a new mother on Instagram. "These past few days have been incredibly busy," she wrote, acknowledging that the first night in the hospital was particularly intense: "There were a few scares, and now we have to adjust to the new version of Lola in our lives."
The influencer also thanked her followers for their support and asked for their patience, as she barely has time to check her phone . "I'm not on it much because there simply isn't the time," she explained, promising to share more details as soon as she has a moment. The father, for his part, emphasized that the most important thing now is to enjoy the peace and quiet and adapt to the newborn's routine.
A name with a very special meaning
The choice of the little girl's name has not gone unnoticed. Lola Belén is a tribute to Belén Domínguez , one of Lucía's closest friends, who passed away in April 2025 at the age of 31 after a long battle with a grade IV intramedullary tumor. Their friendship began when Lucía learned about Belén's story through social media and decided to visit her in the hospital, creating a very special bond that they shared publicly.
After her passing, the eldest Pombo sister dedicated a heartfelt farewell to her on Instagram, and now she has chosen to keep her memory alive through her daughter's name . Lucía herself recounted that she traveled with Álvaro to Seville to tell Belén about the pregnancy, and that she always felt her friend helped her from heaven to fulfill her dream of becoming a mother. "That baby who will be born in a few months... is thanks to your connections in heaven," she wrote at the time.
The path to motherhood
Lucía never hid the emotional difficulties she faced on her journey to motherhood . Months before announcing her pregnancy, she acknowledged how hard it was to see so many people around her fulfilling that desire while she was still waiting for her moment. "I wasn't aware that this process could hurt so much," she confessed on one occasion, referring to the frustration she felt.
The pregnancy was announced at the end of January 2026, just 20 days after the birth of her niece Mariana, with an Instagram video titled "More than ready." During the final stretch, the pilot shared her exhaustion and her eagerness to meet her daughter: "These last few days have been tough," she wrote, although she acknowledged that the pregnancy had been "wonderful ." She also offered words of encouragement to other pregnant women, whom she called "unsung heroes."
The Pombo family is growing
With the arrival of Lola Belén, the Pombo clan welcomes a new member. The little girl becomes the seventh grandchild of "Papín" and Teresa Ribó , and will share her childhood with her cousins: Martín (5 years old), Vega (3), and Mariana (7 months), children of María Pombo and Pablo Castellano; and Matilda (4) and the twins Candela and María (2), daughters of Marta Pombo and Luis Zamalloa. A true gang that promises to be the stars of family gatherings, vacations, and celebrations.
The couple, who married on June 25, 2022, at the Church of the Assumption of Our Lady in Villafranca (Segovia), have built their life away from the media spotlight , although they have shared some special moments with their followers. Now, with their baby girl in their arms, they begin a new chapter filled with the joy of starting their own family.
Meanwhile, Lucía's sisters, María and Marta, are on vacation in Cantabria with their families, but they are very attentive to the newborn. They are expected to return to Madrid as soon as possible to meet their niece in person, whom they have only seen in photographs so far. The arrival of Lola Belén puts the finishing touch on a love story that began away from the media spotlight and that today, with the whole family together, celebrates its sweetest moment.
