Souza is regarded as one of the sexiest women on TV but is off the market. That’s right, Karla Souza is married and is very happy with her husband, Marshall Trenkmann.

Then in the follow-up post, they realized she had welcomed a newborn named Gianna. The announcement shocked many because Souza hid her pregnancy in plain sight while filming “HTGAWM.”
Naturally, people had noticed her growing belly then, but Souza would tell publications that she was wearing prosthetic bellies to follow the progress of her character’s pregnancy.
The talented actress welcomed her second child with Trenkmann, Luka Olivares, on Friday, June 12, 2020. Already he shares a great bond with his big sister. Her first mission was to teach him the complete lyrics of “Poco loco” from Disney’s “Coco.”
Souza has been candid in the past about how motherhood changed her. She claimed being a mother is great for character development as it magnifies things people are trying to work on.
According to her, a lot could bubble up due to raising kids. Most times, those things need to be resolved slowly and constantly. Fortunately for Souza, she has a loving and supportive husband to help, and he never forgets his duties.
Souza is not the only star who has been impacted by motherhood. There are others like her, including Ivanka Trump, who became more efficient, and Anne Hathaway, who became more confident.
