Being a father or mother is much more than bringing a child into the world, into this life. Outside of the merely biological, parents must assume this role in the life of their offspring and be present and accompany their children at all times and, especially, when they need it most. Being a father is a responsibility and a role that begins to be fulfilled the first moment it is confirmed that a boy (or a girl) is on the way. And in the world of celebrities and celebrities, there are countless episodes in which a celebrity did not take responsibility for taking charge.
Last week, the Puerto Rican singer anuel aa (30) recognized a girl as his daughter. In the middle there was a paternity test that confirmed that the girl, who was born last year, is the daughter of the rapper and the Colombian model Melissa Valecilla. It was precisely she who claimed that she take over paternity, the same one that was confirmed in recent days.
Another celebrity who experienced a situation similar to that of anuel aa was Luis Miguel. At only 19 years old, “El Sol de México” was the father of Michelle Salas. However, and although he was present during the girl’s early years, he publicly denied it. And only in 2007, through a DNA test, did he officially recognize her.
