Romeo Santos Opens Up About His 10-Year-Old Son

By Michael Lopez

People en Español got quite the cover story this week. In an exclusive sit-down interview, Aventura frontman Romeo Santos talked about his 10-year-old son Alex, who many fans didn't even know existed.

Posing next to his lookalike hijo, Romeo confessed that he hasn't always been the best father figure to Alex. Originally when he found out his ex-girlfriend had became pregnant, Santos (who was then only 19) walked away and acted like, as he puts it, a "coward."

"No fue planeado y huí como un cobarde", Romeo admitted "[Nuestra relación] era como de lejitos. Decía: ‘no, no, no’. Sentí que era un niño teniendo a un niño y me alejé por dos años".

But now, it looks like father and son have definitely patched up their relationship. And we're sure little Alex is now very proud of his famous daddy. Especially when you consider that Romeo's "You" single is still the #1 on Billboard Latin Song charts.
