It has been confirmed that Gloria Estefan is in talks to play Santana’s mother on Glee sooner than you think!

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the talks are in motion for Gloria to appear on the show as early as January alongside Ricky Martin, who we told you about earlier this week.

The January episode is also expected to feature some of Gloria’s music.

Recently, Ryan Murphy has said that one of the things fans want to see the most are the characters’ parents:

“Across the board, a huge amount of fans want to see parents,” he said. “That’s not to say we’re going to heavily feature them, but I think it’s interesting to see some of them – not all of them.”

We think Gloria Estefan would be a perfect fit as Santana’s mother. What are your thoughts on her potential debut on Glee?
