Jay Wheeler and Zhamira Zambrano are expecting a baby girl. On Thursday, Zambrano announced that she and the Puerto Rican singer are expecting their first child in a sweet caption of the couple during a pregnancy shoot.

“Bienvenida,” read the caption, referencing the new single, which translates to “Welcome” in Spanish. “You’re going to change my life/I’ll give you what you ask for,” she sings on the soft ballad. “Don’t take so long, I’m waiting for you/You’re already welcome to change my life.”

The video jumps between clips of Zambrano singing the track’s lyrics from inside a portrait studio and a picnic scene with her husband.

On Instagram, other artists congratulated the pair on the news. “FELICIDADES,” wrote Maria Becerra. “Felicidades pa Bendiciones,” added Dei V. “What happiness damn!!! Believe me they are about to live the most beautiful thing in the world! ,” added Mau of Mau y Ricky.

“Bienvenida” follows her single “7 Vidas” and last year’s “Estrellita” and “Extrañándote,” a duet with Wheeler. The couple performed the track at the 2024 Latin AMAs in April. The former La Banda contestant also released “Dícelo” alongside Wheeler in 2022.

 “The fact that people love a song that I have with my wife is beautiful,” Wheeler told Billboard in May. “Sometimes you can do songs with the person that you love, and it probably doesn’t go that well.”

“But every time that song is [performed], people go crazy, people go absolutely wild. It’s funny because the first time we collaborated and it became a hit,” he added.

Watch BTS Perform ‘Swim’ in the Guggenheim Museum on ‘Fallon’

BTS took over The Tonight Show last night, appearing as the musical guest and sitting down for a lengthy interview with host Jimmy Fallon. Instead of performing from the late-night show’s studio, BTS took over New York City’s Guggenheim Museum to showcase the track, which comes off their new LP, Arirang.

The performance marked the TV debut of “Swim,” a reflective number with a propulsive beat. The band members appeared in different levels of the Guggenheim before joining forces on a circular stage on the museum’s ground floor.

Security Guard Takes ‘Full Responsibility’ in Chappell Roan Hotel Fiasco

The security guard who appears to be at the center of a debacle involving pop star Chappell Roan and soccer player Jorginho’s stepdaughter took to social media to clarify that he was not part of Roan’s team and was acting independently.

“I do not normally address online rumors, but the accusations currently circulating are false and constitute defamation,” Pascal Duvier began in his statement. “I take full responsibility for the interactions on March 21st. I was at the hotel on behalf of another individual, and I was not part of the personal security team of Chappell Roan. The actions I took were not on behalf of Chappell Roan, her personal security team, her management, or any other individuals.”

Inside Sublime’s ‘Until the Sun Explodes,’ Their First New Album Since 1996

For the first time since 1996, Sublime will release a brand-new album, Until the Sun Explodes, June 12, with Jakob Nowell — the late Bradley Nowell‘s son — on vocals alongside original members Eric Wilson on bass and Bud Gaugh on drums. Jakob, who originally imagined a more limited involvement with the band when he first signed on in 2023, tells Rolling Stone that he kept finding himself deeper and deeper in.

“It’s kind of like being a drug addict,” says Jakob, who got sober in 2017. “You’re like, ‘Oh, I drink, but I don’t do coke.’ And it’s like, ‘OK, I do blow, but I would never do blank.’ And then you just keep going. I was like, ‘Well, I’ll sing one of the songs, but I’ll never join the band. OK, I’ll join the band, but I’m not going to step on people’s toes and write a new record.'” He laughs. “And so I’m like, God, where am I? What am I doing?”
