Jim Velasquez, a 24-year-old Colombian content developer, is about to become a father. His wife, Alina Lozano, is an actress who is 55 years old. This is a very big change for him. What started as a faraway infatuation has turned into a love story that goes against age, tradition, and what society expects. Jim watched Alina on TV as a child and never believed he would meet her, marry her, and build a life with her. Their story is garnering a lot of attention again in the US and across the world now that they have said they are pregnant.
It was news when they went public with their love, but their wedding in November 2023 astonished everyone. The 31-year age gap got a lot of attention in the headlines, and many started to wonder what kind of relationship they had. Was it real love, or did they just want to look good, make money, or be with someone for convenience? Because Jim and Alina were both famous people in Colombia, they were both watched very closely. There were a lot of different reactions on social media. Some were supportive, while others were highly skeptical. A lot of people thought their love wasn’t legitimate because there was such a significant age difference.

But Jim and Alina have never sought to evade the questions. Instead, they have always been honest, hilarious, and confident. Alina talked freely about what people said about her on a recent TV show: that Jim was only with her for money or fame. “People think Jim must want money,” she said, “but he’s actually doing very well on his own.” And she’s right: Jim has built his own digital platform, gotten followers, and negotiated brand deals, so his job doesn’t depend on his wife’s fame. Some people might be surprised by his age, but his maturity and desire are clear.
The couple’s choice to attempt to have a child, which was incredibly personal, complicated, and hard on their bodies, was the final proof of their love. It is incredibly rare and quite dangerous for women in their 50s to get pregnant. Jim and Alina were aware of this. They knew that it was improbable that they would get pregnant spontaneously, and that it wouldn’t be easy even with science’s help. But they were more excited about having more kids than scared about it.

They tried assisted reproductive technologies, like in vitro fertilization (IVF), and in the end, they spent over 100 million Colombian pesos, which is around $25,000 USD, on therapies to help them get pregnant. Every appointment, shot, scan, and surgery had an effect on the body and the mind. Alina has talked about how hard and stressful the process has been for her, as well as how much she doubts herself. But they never gave up. When things got hard, they helped each other and worked together.
They had been waiting and hoping for months, and finally they got the news they had been dreaming of: they were having a baby. Fans were pleased to hear they were pregnant, but old complaints came back. How could a woman who is 55 years old care for a baby? Is Jim ready to be a dad at only 24 years old? The questions came rapidly, but so did their will. When they chose to have kids, they didn’t want to show the world anything. According to them, it was about making the life they wanted together, on their own terms.

Alina hasn’t been shy about talking about the real physical issues that come with being older and pregnant. But she has also talked about how grateful she is for the medical advances that made her pregnancy possible. “Every peso was worth it for this blessing,” she said, and her words proved that she was both relieved and tremendously happy as a mother. The couple is getting ready for their baby’s arrival by buying things they need, setting up the nursery, and coping with the new feelings that come with being a first-time parent.
Their story has sparked critical conversations about love, having kids, and old values that people still believe in. Some people have trouble with the thought of a 55-year-old lady having a kid with a man who is 31 years younger than her. But for some, their trip is a painful reminder that love doesn’t always go as planned. There are several methods to become a parent. Modern medicine helps us get around biological limits. And that kind of judgment has nothing to do with someone else’s happiness.
Jim and Alina keep posting about their vacation on social media, not to change the opinions of people who don’t like it, but to show how things really are. People have said nice things about them for being open, funny, and friendly, but they have also said bad things about them. But they are still tough. This is their life, their love, and their family is growing. As they get ready for their baby to arrive, their hearts are full—not just with excitement, but also with the knowledge that what they have built together is real, solid, and based on respect for each other.
Jim Velasquez’s life has come full circle. What started off as a childhood crush has grown into a lifelong love and soon, fatherhood. Alina Lozano, who used to be a famous TV personality, will play her most intimate role yet: she will be a mother again, this time with a partner who sees her for who she is now, not just who she was.
