Pablo López and Laura Rubio expect first child one year after Madrid wedding

First child expected in 2027

Spanish singer-songwriter Pablo López and his wife, singer Laura Rubio, are expecting their first child. The development was reported on 1 October 2026 by journalists Lorena Vázquez and Laura Fa on their Mamarazzis podcast for El Periódico. Rubio, 32, is currently in her second trimester of pregnancy, setting the estimated delivery for the early months or spring of 2027. Neither the exact due date nor the sex of the child has been made public. Although the couple has maintained their customary discretion and avoided formal statements, family contacts confirmed that the couple had been seeking a child for some time.

Origins on La Voz and years of friendship

López, 42, and Rubio, both natives of Málaga, first crossed paths in 2017 during the fifth edition of the musical talent competition La Voz on Antena 3. López participated as one of the celebrity coaches, while Rubio entered as a contestant. She joined his team and progressed through the rounds until reaching the semifinal stage of the contest. After the competition concluded, the pair remained in regular contact as Rubio entered López's professional sphere, working for a period as his assistant. The professional dynamic evolved into a personal friendship before turning romantic. The earliest public glimpse of their relationship occurred during the 2020 lockdown, when Rubio unexpectedly appeared in a live video stream López was broadcasting from his home.

Relationship timeline and wedding celebrations

The couple began dating in 2021, navigating a brief period of distance before reuniting. They made their partnership public in October 2022 with an appearance in the stands of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium during a UEFA Champions League football match. On 19 July 2025, they married in a private religious ceremony at the Basílica de Jesús de Medinaceli in Madrid, surrounded by immediate family. Two months later, on 20 September 2025, they held a larger celebration for 300 guests at a rural estate in Alcalá del Valle, situated in the mountain region of Cádiz. The gathering included prominent Spanish artists such as Antonio Orozco and David Bustamante, who joined the couple to celebrate their union.

Album release and upcoming tours

The pregnancy coincides with several milestones in López's musical career. The artist recently published his new album, El Cuatro, marking his first full studio record in six years. López is promoting the release across Spain on his El niño del espacio concert tour. In addition to these dates, he has announced the schedule for his Hibakusha Tour 2027, which will take him to venues across the country during the same year he enters parenthood. Rubio remains closely integrated with López's family in Málaga, including his mother Lola, while continuing to maintain a low public profile.
