Former Cartel Crew star Nicole Zavala is officially stepping into her mom era.
The reality star, known for her unfiltered moments on TV and going viral for openly discussing her plastic surgery journey, is expecting her first child. Zavala exclusively shared the news with Hollywood Unlocked and, true to form, she didn’t hold back.
Opening up about this major new chapter in her life, Zavala told us:
“My next chapter is really about being a full-time, great mom. I want my baby to experience a full mommy present, loving, and intentional. At the same time, I’m continuing to build my brand and focus on my business, especially my body shapers, which I’m really passionate about. I also have goals of becoming a realtor, so I have a lot going on in the best way. This chapter is about growth, balance, and setting a strong foundation for my future and my child.”
And when it comes to preparing for motherhood, Zavala says she’s more than ready. She added:
“Mom life is going to be amazing for me. I’ve always wanted to be a mom, so stepping into this role feels natural and exciting. This journey makes me happy, fulfilled, and motivated in a way I’ve never felt before. I’m embracing everything that comes with it the love, the lessons, and the new purpose it brings into my life.”
Of course, one of the first questions people always ask is about the child’s father.
While Zavala is keeping his name private for now, she did share insight into where they stand as co-parents and partners:
“My relationship with my baby’s dad is good. We’re building toward being a family and taking things step by step, seeing where life leads us. Right now, the focus is communication, growth, and doing what’s best for our child. We’re in a positive space and committed to moving forward in a healthy way.”
And speaking of healthy relationships, Zavala is already setting the tone for the bond she’s building with her baby. She penned a heartfelt message to her soon-to-arrive bundle of joy, writing:
“Every heartbeat I hear reminds me that the best chapter of my life is just beginning.”
“My heart is full, my hands are waiting, and my soul is ready for you. So excited to meet the tiny miracle growing inside me. This journey is already the greatest adventure of my life. I didn’t know I could love someone I haven’t met yet this much. Growing a life has changed me in the most beautiful way. You are already my favorite thought, every single day. My body is creating magic, and my heart is overflowing.”
As for what’s next, Zavala isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
She revealed to Hollywood Unlocked that she’s launching her very own show on NOW That’s TV through her baby father’s network:
“I have my very own show on NOW That’s TV through my baby father’s network. He gave me the opportunity to create something special that really reflects our lives. The show is called ‘Baby on Board with Nicole Zavala.’
It follows my pregnancy journey, my life, our relationship, and even him being part of it as well. It’s real, raw, and authentic showing motherhood, love, and growth all unfolding naturally.”
Socialites, Nicole Zavala is clearly entering a new era. And from the sound of it, she’s embracing every moment of it.
