Marc Anthony is a devoted father to seven children – his wife, Nadia, is expecting their eighth – and he makes sure to spend quality time with each of them. This week, it was his fourth child, 22-year-old son Ryan, and the father-son duo revealed their matching personalities, as the pair rocked sunglasses and graphic tees, both pouting for the camera.
“Quality Father Son time,” Marc captioned the post, which came after his first string of dates in Las Vegas for his first-ever residency. The four-time Grammy winner and eight-time Latin Grammy winner began the show in February 2026, and there will be five more in July and August 2026.
Ryan was the second son Marc welcomed with his second wife, Miss Universe Dayanara Torres. They wed on May 9, 2000, in Las Vegas, and in 2001 Dayanara gave birth to Cristian, known as Cris. Two years later, they welcomed Ryan, who was raised in LA with his older brother. Ryan had kept a small social media presence, but in 2025 began to raise his profile as he entered the world of modeling.
In a candid interview with Magacín, a Puerto Rican magazine, Ryan confessed that he often lied about his father’s career, telling classmates that his dad worked at Best Buy.
“It was also a way to find out which people were genuine in my life and which ones just wanted to take advantage,” Ryan explained, sharing that he was keen to carve his own name in the world of music and modelling.
Mom Dayanara has previously revealed that he studied Music Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and plays several instruments, but that he was a natural in front of the camera.

Jennifer and Marc often use gender neutral pronouns when referring to Emme, who has shown off their own musical talents, appearing onstage to perform with mom Jennifer, including at the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show. Max has remained out of the spotlight for most of his life, although he has appeared in his mom, Jennifer’s, social media posts.
The twins celebrated their milestone birthday on February 22, and mom JLo took to Instagram to post a video compilation of memories that paid an emotional tribute to their family of three, sharing it’s always “been the three of us.”
Sharing insight into the teens’ personalities, she continued: “You are both so kind-hearted, generous, and loving. How lucky the world was on this day 18 years ago when God decided to send you here with all of your talents and spirit and heart to make this world a better place, because that is what you do for me and anyone who is lucky enough to know you both every day.”
