‘Mi Gente’ Hitmaker J Balvin Says Fatherhood Has Brought Him Peace

J Balvin says becoming a father brought him “peace”.

The 39-year-old singer welcomed son Rico, three, with model Valentina Ferrer in 2021 and says Rico is the best thing that’s ever happened to him.

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.”

Three years after the release of his fifth album ‘Jose’, Balvin has dropped new record ‘Rayo’ and he says his new attitude to life is evident in the music.
