Madison De La Garza is definitely no longer the little girl we all discovered in “Desperate Housewives”. The one who played the unforgettable Juanita Solis, Gaby’s daughter, is indeed expecting her first child.
Yes, it’s a real blow to all the fans of Desperate Housewives! This Thursday, September 5, Madison De La Garza, the unforgettable Juanita Solis in the cult series of the 2000s (which you can still binge-watch on Disney+), announced on her Instagram account that she was pregnant with her first child. The actress, who will celebrate her 23rd birthday next December, shared several photos of herself with a rounded belly, posing alongside her partner Ryan Mitchell. “Oh Ryan, how I love you. Thank you for making all my dreams come true,” the young woman wrote in the caption of her post.
Madison De La Garza Victim of Harassment
Madison De La Garza was just 6 years old when she made her first appearance on our small screen as Juanita Solis, the daughter of Gaby, played by Eva Longoria. While she loved working with the actress, Madison De La Garza doesn’t only have wonderful memories of her experience in DesperateHousewives. The little girl had been bullied because of the show’s storyline, which mocked her physical appearance by contrasting it with that of her fictional mother Gabrielle, who was beautiful and thin. “It was like they wanted me to die because of my appearance. It was just horrible, like ‘ugly and fat cow’ or ‘I hope you get cancer and die because you’re so fat,'” she recalled in a recent interview with the podcast Heart of the Matter. Madison De La Garza has since regained all her self-confidence. Comfortable in her body and in her head, it is with complete serenity that she prepares to become a mother. Congrats!
