It's a great experience. Every time I see the belly getting bigger, and I see the sonogram and I hear his heartbeat, I'm like 'Oh, man.'
Not many shows bring fans and artists together, and 'Rock Dinner' is one of the few shows that does it. Every opportunity I get to get closer to one of my fans - and get to know them and talk to them - I'm always going to take that opportunity with arms wide open and make it a priority.
My first language is both English and Spanish. My mom was raised in Los Angeles, so with her we spoke English, but my father was born in Cuba, so with him we spoke Spanish.
My career did start in the Spanish language industry, and that's probably because my father is my manager. He pushed my career in the direction he knew best.
I was a musician first before anything.
My beautiful son... I can't wait to see his face, hug him, and spend time with him.
It's an honor for me to have the opportunity to work with Emilio Estefan.
I only respond to Telemundo when it's about novellas, in regards to music or movies they have nothing to do with it; that's mine.
I never pictured myself as a telenovela galan - never imagined Id be in a soap opera.
When I was five or six, I asked to sing at a big family party, and ever since I got up there in front of everyone in my suit - it had a blue collar, like in 'Scarface' - I had the bug.
