2024 Rewind: Maluma Celebrates Upcoming Fatherhood with Sizzling Playgirl Spread

Maluma tells Playgirl that a "period of time" will be devoted to Susana and Paris, but he anticipates the day when his daughter will see that the world sees him as a sex symbol and hopes "it will have a positive effect on the way she thinks about her sexuality and bodily autonomy in a Puritanical world where most young women are punished and shamed for both."

He also acknowledges the big lifestyle change from player to family man. "He knows he's already spent the past decade "enjoying the spoils of his 'nice life' with enough V.I.P. clubs, 'crazy' sexcapades, and last-minute trips to Miami, where he was 'living hard' by "drinking a lot and spending a lot of time with women," writes Playgirl.

"I was living a moment that I dreamt about," he recalls. "But if you really think about it, it's not a healthy life or a way to celebrate your success." Maluma sighs, "I just got tired of feeling like nothing of this craziness was myself."

His evolved attitude came through his devotion to Buddhism, which grounded him and disciplined to a new level that he didn't know existed. He also met Susana, an architect and designer who prefers a low profile, who shares his desire for a "totally different lifestyle."
