Luis Fonsi Opens Up About Life at Home with Two Kids: 'We Don't Talk About "Despacito" '
Luis Fonsi may be a music superstar, but at home, he’s just Luis — and Dad.
Posing with wife Águeda López and their two children — son Rocco, 13 months, and daughter Mikaela, 6 — for the March cover of ¡Hola! USA, the singer opens up about how his family life is worlds away from his public one.
“Here, in my home, we try not to talk about work; I am not the singer, and we don’t talk about ‘Despacito,’ ” says Fonsi, 39. “I am a dad, a husband and I try to enjoy the small and simple things in life.”

“One is a performer, a rock star onstage, but here at home, we are a super normal family,” Fonsi explains. “We barbecue on the weekends. We try to live as close and normal as it is possible and give that to our children.”
