Marc Anthony’s best moments with his six kids


UPDATED JUNE 9, 2020 10:10 AM EDT

“Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father,” said American novelist Lydia Maria Child, and  Marc Anthony  would be the first to admit himself lucky to have his six children who are a continual source of pride and wonder to him. From his eldest children Arianna and Chase Muñiz, through to his two boys with ex-wife  Dayanara Torres ,  Cristian  and  Ryan  and his ‘coconuts’ with  Jennifer Lopez

Whether attending milestone moments in his – or his kids’ lives – or just hanging out together, Marc Anthony has shared some beautiful images of himself together with his special mini-mes. Take a look though our gallery of highlights...

Arianna Muñiz

His eldest daughter Arianna was born in 1994, during her dad’s relationship with Puerto Rican ex-police officer Debbie Rosado.

She stays out of the spotlight but that doesn’t stop the salsa legend making a fuss of her to his 11 million Instagram followers. Wishing his ‘beautiful Ari’ a happy birthday on one occasion, he also wrote: “You’re always gonna be daddy’s little girl!!! My baby you...I love you so much.”

Supporting roles

Although he split from the boys’ mother in 2004, the three have always been an integral part of each other’s lives, from heading to premieres together to attending award shows. Here Ryan and Cristian are seen supporting their Dad as he is named Latin Recording Academy Person Of The Year in 2016.

Mini-mes

As they’ve grown into young men, it’s obvious what a strong bond Marc has with his boys. With Cristian studying art at NYU, Ryan living at home with mom Dayanara and Marc often on tour, it’s not easy to organize get togethers but they are epic when they do happen!
