He also shared that he was scared about becoming a first-time dad as “it‘s something new for me. Totally new.“

“It scares me the fact that it‘s another life,” he added, explaining that with life being so challenging, he constantly asked himself “how [are] you going to help your kid be stronger, better than you?”

The iconic couple met in 2017 on the set of his music video Sigo Extrañándote, making their official red carpet debut in 2018 at New York Fashion Week.
