"If I were asked to describe myself with just one word at 43, I couldn't do it. There are several versions of Romeo, but very few people truly know Anthony."

The "Imitadora" singer added: "I am humble; I am decent; I am respectful; I am shy; I am proud; I am a romantic dreamer; I am as serious as a clown. I am competitive; I am demanding; I am boastful; I am intense; I am sensitive; sometimes I am misunderstood but it doesn't matter. I am an ARTIST." 

"Dear God! If you give me the privilege of returning in another life, please send me with all my virtues and defects; with the same soul mate; with the same 5 children; the same family, the same friends, and with the same fans. Thank you for the teachings during these 3 decades! And please, continue to educate me with your blessings and your tests in the fourth season of my life!" he concluded.

The emotional post gave fans a rare glimpse into Santos's multifaceted personality, which is as complex and layered as his music. His reflections on life, love, and gratitude resonated deeply with his followers, further endearing him to his loyal fanbase. Santos rarely shares his milestones with the world. He is a proud father to four boys and a girl: Alex Damian, born in the early 2000s; Valentino, born in 2019; Solano, born in 2021; and Milano, born in 2022. 

The singer had hinted at the arrival of his fifth child in the music video for "Solo Conmigo," where his partner was shown pregnant. This subtle clue comes full circle with the joyous announcement of his daughter's birth.

As he enters this new chapter of his life, Santos continues to inspire with his authenticity and passion, both in his music and personal life. Happy Birthday, Romeo!
