Anthony, 54, and Ferreira, 24, also shared the first photo of their newborn.

Weeks before the pregnancy announcement, the two wed. Their wedding was star-studded and held at the Pérez Art Museum in Miami on Jan. 28. Celebrity guests included Victoria Beckham, Salma Hayek and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Ferreira shared a glimpse from the wedding on Instagram, showcasing rows of white roses are seen adorning the venue. She captioned the post, “Mr & Mrs. Muñiz.” In a separate post, she captioned it in Spanish, which translates to: “Memories from a unique, magical and unforgettable day.”
Ferreira, the runner-up in the 2021 Miss Universe Pageant, pulled out all the stops for her big day.
