Cyn Santana is a mom of three. The Love & Hip Hop: New York alum announced on Instagram Stories that she gave birth to a baby boy after 23 hours in labor.
“23 hours in labor. Gave birth to a beautiful, healthy boy. So proud of him! And so proud of myself,” Santana wrote over a close-up of her newborn’s foot resting in her hand.
In another Story, Santana shared a selfie from the hospital and joked about the delivery. “I’m reaaaal tough til it’s time to push an almost 9lb baby out,” she wrote, adding, “Women are f#ckin incredible.”
Another photo showed the back of her newborn’s head as he rested against a man’s arm. “Poppas came out with a head fullllllllll of hair. I wonder if this is why I was throwing up every single day during this pregnancy,” she wrote.
After giving birth, Santana was treated to a sushi spread and shared a photo of the rolls and nigiri. “Waited almost 10 months for this. Thx love,” she wrote.
She also shared a glimpse of her recovery, captioning a photo of her swollen “Postpartum feets.” Over a black-and-white photo of her son, she wrote, “In healing and baby land til further notice.”
Santana announced her pregnancy in September with maternity photos that showed her cradling her bump in a black cropped top and floor-length skirt. “Life, lately. Our love multiplied,” she captioned the post.
Around the same time, Santana shared a photo of her 8-year-old son, Lexington, walking with his arm around his little sister. “Lex is such a great big brother. My hearts in human form,” she wrote.
Santana shares Lexington with her ex-fiancé Joe Budden and her daughter with chef Kwame Onwuachi, the restaurateur behind Tatiana in New York City. When she introduced their daughter in January 2025, she included photos from her maternity shoot and baby shower, along with a picture of Lexington kissing his baby sister’s feet.
