“Luca arrived lighting up Saturday night! He arrived here on February 11th, already claiming his space. We made it through,” the proud mom shared on Instagram, announcing the birth.
The journey to the family’s new addition — who joins the actress' older children, daughter Sophia, 19, and son Enzo, 25, whom she shares with actor Edson Celulari — came after a whirlwind fertility journey.

Before getting pregnant, Raia was told during a medical exam that she appeared to be ovulating again, but the actress believed it was a mistake or an anomaly and never thought it could result in pregnancy.
“I had given up. I went traveling with my children,” she recalled of the time. “I worked out, took classes, dyed my hair. Everything was fine.”
When she felt off months later, and all her other tests came back as expected, doctors gave Raia a pregnancy test. Not only did it come back positive, but Raia would quickly learn she was just shy of clearing her first trimester.
“Our dream to be parents is nothing new! And didn’t it come true? Me and@jarbashomemdemelloare pregnant! And@clearbluewas part of this beautiful and exciting moment, confirming to us with 99.9% accuracy that the family will grow!” she wrote.
