“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.”
Chase Muñiz
Seen here far left with his siblings, Marc adopted Chase while in a relationship with his mom, Debbie Rosado, with whom he also shares daughter Arianna. Chase was born in 1995 and was adopted by Marc when he was a year old.
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!
The Coconuts
And then in 2008 along came the ‘Coconuts,’ Marc Anthony and ex-wife Jennifer Lopez’s cute nicknames for twins
Max
and
Emme
Muñiz.
Family forever
Marc and JLo announced that they were splitting in 2011 with their divorce finalized in 2014. Despite no longer being romantically involved, they’ve managed to remain great friends for the sake of their twins.
Youngest daughter
As a father of four boys, his two daughters obviously have a special place in his heart: “I don’t know where you end and I begin Emme!!” he wrote in 2018.
Generational bond
Keeping his family close is top of Marc Anthony’s priorities, as seen here with his dad Don Felipe, Max and Emme in 2019
Blended family
The Vivir Mi Vida singer tries to remain on friendly terms with his exes, and their new partners. Here he is with Jennifer Lopez’s fiancé
Alex Rodriguez.
A blessed father, it’s obvious that his kids are blessed too to have him in their lives.
