The divorce petition, deposited on September 11, 2025, cites irreconcilable differences.

He also explained his role as a father: “My work is not going to do all these additional things and these holidays and recitals. Although I take care of my responsibility to make sure that the family has a roof over their heads and their food, if I have time to do it and show love, yes, I will do it.
