J Balvin’s “life has changed” since he became a dad.
The 40-year-old singer – whose real name is José Álvaro Osorio Balvín- became a father when he and his girlfriend Valentina Ferrer welcomed son Rio into the world in June 2021, and is excited that the little one will finally be able to see him on tour.
He told E! News: “Every time I see him, it’s just like my life has changed, my day has changed. The cool thing about this tour is that it’s the first time he’s gonna see my performance and he’s just about to turn four so I think he’s gonna remember at least something.”
The ‘Mi Gente’ hitmaker a labelmate of Rihanna through RocNation and even though he didn’ get a change to see the ‘Umbrella’ hitmaker when she announced that she and ASAP Rocky are expecting their third baby at the Met Gala last week, he still gets “starstruck” whenever he does cross paths with her.
He said: “I didn’t have the chance to congratulate her, but I love her, I’m a big fan, I’m a pure starstruck fan, she’s just amazing.”
Last year, J revealed upon the release of his album ‘Rayo’ that becoming a father had ultimately brought him “peace” in life and he was able to “enjoy” things in a way he hadn’t been able to before.
He told PEOPLE: “I became a father three years ago. That’s one of the things that really marks this new album. I think that’s really powerful. It also reminds me that I’m at peace. I know what I want more than ever.
“When my son was born, a switch went off in my brain that I have to enjoy life, and check all the small details and be grateful for all of them. I think this album comes from a really beautiful and grateful energy, more mature, and always keeping my DNA of good vibes.”
