Big extended family. Marc Anthony’s kids have a very talented father. The multi-Grammy and Latin Grammy award-winning singer has seven kids and the family keeps on growing.
The tropical salsa singer just welcomed his newborn baby with his wife Nadia Ferreira. He’s opened up about his parenting in past interviews including one with CBS News in 2016. “The one regret would be that what I chose to do took so much of my time,” Anthony admitted. “What I would have done to have been a stay-at-home dad, and you know, witnessed every second of everything. I would have loved that. Didn’t work out that way.” The Paʼllá Voy artist continued, “It’s the one thing that just tugs at me going and – that’s the biggest sacrifice. And you start to wonder was it all worth it. Was it worth it? You know, on that level.”
In an interview with W Magazine in 2016, his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez, to whom Anthony was married for seven years, admitted that while things weren’t always “easy” following their 2014 divorce, she continues to work on her relationship with Marc for the sake of their kids. “When my marriage ended, it was not easy to find forgiveness. It wasn’t the dream that I had hoped for, and it would have been easier to fan the flames of resentment, disappointment, and anger,” she told the magazine. But Marc is the father of my children, and that’s never going away. So, I have to work to make things right. And that is, by far, the hardest work I do.”

“So this is a very special occasion. They are very, very busy. Booked. And pricey,” Lopez continued. “They cost me when they come out. But they’re worth every single penny because they’re my favorite duet partner of all time.”
