In February, Balvin spoke to PEOPLE abouthis motivation to create a better world for his son. “When you have a son, you want your kid to be better and not commit the same mistakes we did.
In July 2022, Balvin toldE! Newsthat his strong sense of style hasn’t changed much since he became a dad.
“Being a dad is a huge role. It’s a top priority,” he said at the time. “But you still don’t have to become or act like a dad. I don’t want to start wearing boring clothes because that’s how a dad is supposed toact.”
“I just want to be a cool dad. I’m still looking for what’s next, for the new vibe, color, shapes,” the singer continued.
Balvin met his girlfriend Ferrer on the set of his 2017 music video “Sigo Extrañándote.” The two made their red carpet couple debut in 2018 at New York Fashion Week.
Ferrerconfirmed her pregnancyin an April 2021 interview withVogue Mexico, telling the outlet that she “did the pregnancy test in the bathroom with my dog to not be alone.”
“I did three tests in a row because I couldn’t believe it,” she said, later revealing that Balvin couldn’t believe it either when she told him.
“He froze. He was happy, but it was like a call from Zoom that does not work when the WiFi crashes. He stayed frozen,” she said.
