Julián Gil

Argentine businessman, model, and actor, Julián Gil has three children. At only 15 years old, he became a father. First, he had his oldest daughter, Nicolle Alejandra with Brenda Torres, whom he married and divorced years later.

Nicky Jam

Reggaeton artist Nicky Jam is the father of four children, Alyssa, Yarimar, Joe Martin, and Luciana. We are sure that the Puerto Rican is an amazing father but he doesn‘t often show his little ones on social networks. It’s a decision a lot of celebrities choose, and the artist is reserved when it comes to his personal life. Nicky Jam has had a very hard past marked by addiction, but the singer is healthier than ever, enjoying his professional career and his wonderful children.
