In an interview with PEOPLE, Sanchez shared, “The moment I held her, everything around me just stopped. It’s the kind of love you can’t explain — that fills every part of you all at once.”
“These first few days have been emotional, sleepless, beautiful…everything I dreamed of and more,” the singer continued. “We chose the name Eliana because it means ‘God has answered,’ and that’s exactly how she feels. Our answered prayer, our reminder of grace and purpose. I’m healing, learning and soaking in every second with her. My heart has never been this full.”
Sanchez announced her pregnancy on AGT after receiving the golden buzzer during her audition.
After her win, she wrote on Instagram, “Winning AMERICA’S GOT TALENT wasn’t just about a single performance or one night… It was about a journey that began over 20 years ago…This isn’t just a trophy or a title, it’s the reminder that dreams delayed are not dreams denied. That God’s timing is always perfect. That perseverance, faith, and love can carry you through valleys you never thought you’d get out of.”
“This victory isn’t just mine, it’s ours. It belongs to everyone who has ever dared to keep going, even when the road felt too long,” Sanchez continued. “And to my baby girl, Eliana Mae.. Mama did it. We did it.”
Her pregnancy even inspired her latest single, “Two Lines.”
“Two Lines is one of the most meaningful songs I’ve ever shared,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “It captures the exact moment I found out I was pregnant with Eliana. A wave of emotions I’ll never forget. The joy, the tears, the fear, and the overwhelming love all at once.”
Sanchez continued, “This song will always take me back to that life changing day, the start of a beautiful journey, and a reminder that God’s timing is always perfect.”
She finished her post with Ecclesiastes 3:11 — “He has made everything beautiful in its time.”
It looks like Sanchez is more than ready to step into this new chapter of her life as a first-time parent!
