“July 8, 2026 🩷 the best day of our entire lives,” wrote an excited Hernán Reggiardo on his Instagram account to announce the birth of Dalí, their first daughter with Samantha Trottier. With this moving declaration and a photo album that captures the minute-by-minute of the birth, the content-creating couple welcomed the newest member of their family.
The images, which quickly warmed the hearts of their millions of followers, show the intimacy of the hospital stay, the labor process, and the exact moment when they hold the baby in their arms for the first time. Meanwhile, the American influencer summed up her happiness with a straightforward and love-filled post: the baby’s name followed by a pink heart.
An intimate album to welcome Dalí
The arrival of the baby marks a milestone for the digital community that follows the couple’s day-to-day. In the post shared by the new parents, the full sequence of the hospital stay and the birth is showcased in a mood of complete solidarity.
Without the need for grandiose staging, the photographic record focused on spontaneity: supportive glances in the delivery room, the bright exhaustion of birth, and Dalí’s first nap. Followers’ reactions soon poured in, filling the comments with wishes of happiness and a warm welcome for the little one.
The tender journey to fatherhood: from the announcement to the gender-reveal cake
The sweet wait began in late December 2025, when the couple surprised their audience with a photo session showing the first ultrasound of their baby. “We’re going to have a baby,” they had announced at the time, sparking a wave of excitement among their fans.
Weeks later, the couple shared a viral video of the gender reveal. In the clip, they appear noticeably anxious in front of a cake decorated with blue and pink bows and the word “Baby.” Before slicing it, Hernán guessed it would be a girl, while Sam thought it was a boy. Upon discovering the pink cream filling, the emotion was overwhelming: they melted into each other’s arms and cried with happiness, drawing more than 227 thousand likes and hundreds of comments celebrating the arrival of “a mini Sam.”
A multicultural love story that began in Bali
The birth of Dalí seals a love story that became a social media phenomenon. Samantha and Hernán met in 2020 on the island of Bali. Despite cultural and language differences (he is from Santa Fe and she from the United States), their bond grew quickly.
Together they moved to the United States, where they founded Mate Society, a successful content agency and a yerba mate project that won over thousands with the freshness of their approach. In 2024, the couple sealed their union with an intimate wedding of 88 guests at a country estate in Luján, a celebration attended by figures such as Sofía Zámolo and Clarisa Sarkany, and now completed with the arrival of their first daughter.
