He was so ecstatic that he expressed his emotions on Instagram by posting Maria’s picture with the caption, “I’m so glad you came into my life.” He posted the picture on Instagram days before his death, along with a cute pic of Maria on the beach sporting her baby bump. He added, “I’m ready for where this journey is gonna take us together. #familyfirst.”

Baby’s Due Date

Fernandez started dating Arias weeks after he broke up with Carla Mendoza, his girlfriend of three years. Arias became pregnant in May and the baby is due in February. Maria’s cousin’s wife said, “She is due in February and they were living together in his apartment in downtown Miami. They were very excited about having a baby.”
