Exclusive | Baby cousins went viral for getting blessed by Pope Leo

“I’m sobbing, this is amazing,” another said.

“I’m not even Catholic, but I’d be throwing my baby too,” someone else added.

Two-month-old Alonso Fuentes and his cousin, five-month-old Vittorio D’Amico, were on a family trip in Rome in October when their dads held them up to catch the attention of Pope Leo as he approached in the popemobile.

“We probably looked kind of crazy. I’m holding the baby a foot or two above my head and just trying to push him out,” Ignacio Fuentes, Alonso’s dad, told The Post.

Fuentes, 26, a cooking content creator from Chicago — which happens to be where Pope Leo hails from — had scoped out the scene in St. Peter’s Square months earlier. And he came prepared.

“I had been to Rome last year in May, and I attended the papal audience. And I just thought to myself, ‘This is so easy. I feel like I can pull this off,’” he said.

“So when we were with the baby, I was very determined to get it done. You know where the pope’s gonna go already, it’s not a matter of if he’s going to go there, it’s just when. And then making sure that they see the baby, that’s the big thing.”

Fuentes’ extended family, who were on a pilgrimage with a Catholic group, as well as good Samaritans in the crowd, assisted in the holy cause.

In the video, shouts can be heard of “Bambinos,” which means babies in Italian, and “Primos,” which means cousins in Spanish, to alert the security guards flanking His Holiness.

“At this point, not just us, but everyone around us were all going crazy,” Fuentes recalled. “The people there were helping, they actually wanted to see it happen.”

When the guards finally took his son, Alonso, to hand him to the pontiff, Fuentes was momentarily concerned his nephew would be overlooked.

“For some reason, we thought they would know that the babies are related and they’re going to take them at the same time,” he said.

“So right away I’m like, ‘Hey, take this baby too.’ And I’m pointing at the baby. I almost actually missed the moment where my baby got blessed.”

Alonso, who is three months younger than his cousin, took the blessing — which lasted about 30 seconds for both babies — better than Vittorio.

“My baby was so chill. Like he didn’t even look like anything happened,” he said. “His cousin was a little scared and crying.”

The females in the family also burst into tears.

“All the girls started crying, my wife, her sister, and her mom, especially,” he said. “I wasn’t crying, but I definitely felt emotional. It was surreal.”

One of the trickiest parts about getting the babies blessed is getting them back, Fuentes said, “cause [the guards] gotta find the parents afterwards in the crowd, which can be a little difficult.”

The doting dad said he posted the video to provide inspiration to others, never thinking it would go viral and garner so many comments — many reveling in the divine intervention.

“Wow, that’s a fun fact for school,” one wrote, while another added, “Forever win 2 truths 1 lie.”
