Singer Thalía to teach daughter to do 'what makes her heart happy'




At the autograph signing for her book, Thalía: ¡Belleza!, singer Thalía, 35, announced that she is due in four weeks. She and her husband, producer Tommy Mottola, 58, are expecting a daughter around October 2nd. People en Español was on hand to ask her a few questions:
How are you getting ready for the birth? Are you getting used to the idea of it? It’s been said you might do a Cesarean…
There’s only four weeks left or something. God has his plans, and I sincerely want to do things naturally, but you never know, you might get there and have to do a Cesarean. I’m ready for all surprises, and if it can be done naturally, then I’ll do it naturally.
There’s no established date; my mom’s birthday is Oct. 2, so I hope I can give her a great surprise…but she’s going to be a Libra, like my mom.
You’re working on your radio show and now the book, so it seems like you never rest…Are you thinking about taking a year off once your daughter is born?
When she’s born, I’m not going to have time for anything. For now, I’m so hyperactive that I can’t take a break. I have the radio thing and I keep touch with my people, but in a much more relaxed manner, with a microphone. Thanks to God, the radio show has been a success, and we have the worldwide connection with
thaliaradio.com, which has listeners and fans all over the world: Greece, Hungary, they listen to it everywhere. I have a studio in my house, so fortunately I can bring my co-host and producer to work.
What do you think you’ll teach your daughter about inner and exterior beauty?
Overall, that she should be happy in life, that she does what makes her heart happy, that she follows her intuition, that she be daring, fantastic, glorious, loving and thankful to God, and I’ll teach her the rest; simple things like putting on eyelashes and lipstick, I’ll teach her that stuff.

How you do feel about the fact that you and fellow Mexican Salma Hayek are both pregnant and will have girls?
Both Mexicans, both businesswomen, both pregnant, both married to men, well, both with marvelous men, (I’m married), but that we’re both pregnant with girls seems incredible to me, and I wish the best to her.
This will be Thalía's first child and Tommy's third.
