Marc Anthony is, without a doubt, an unstoppable Latino music star. His songs are played all over the world and wherever he goes, he is always recognized for the exceptional artist he is. However, the great commitment he’s made to his career and to his fan base have, on occasion, hindered him from spending quality time with his family, specifically his five children: Ariana, his oldest daughter; Cristian and Ryan, whom he had with Dayanara Torres, and his twins Emme and Max, from his relationship with Jennifer Lopez.

In a recent interview, the Vivir Mi Vida singer revealed how his children get along and how they have reacted to him being so far away from them.

The Latin pop star does often post beautiful family moments on his social media channels and judging by the happy photos Marc has a strong bond with his children.

I would have loved to do that. But it couldn’t have been that way,” confessed Marc.
