Pitbull, 45, sat down with Billboard to explain why he’s kept his six children away from the public eye all these years, explaining “they’re not built” for the world just yet in relation to his fame.
The Grammy-winning rapper has ever only publicly identified two of his children, Destiny and Bryce, with his former longtime partner, Barbara Alba. He’s made it a point to keep the names, ages, and personal lives of his other children largely private.
Speaking with Billboard, Pitbull explained that his decision to keep his children out of the spotlight stems from love and a desire to protect them. He said he wants them to decide for themselves how they wish to present themselves to the world when they’re older.
“So look, when my kids get to a certain age, which some are, and they wanna make their own decisions as far as how they wanna live their life and how they want to welcome the world to it, that’s on them. But if you’re a kid, 3 years old, 5 years old, early teens, and you’re taking a picture with me and we’re posting it to the world, I’m letting you into my world now,” he explained.
The rapper also adds that his fame and status play a role in wanting to keep people out of his private life. He admits that he can be involved in situations that may have nothing to do with him, and his children can become targets.
“If today or tomorrow I’m in a certain country, and I come across some situation that has nothing to do with me because my name will always put me in a situation to be guilty by association,” he explained. “That’s why I’m very private on what I do.”
As a result, Pitbull explains that he doesn’t want his children to be a part of his very public image. He believes they’re not ready for it, and it’s his responsibility as a father to protect them from it for the time being. The rapper does it out of love and only wants his children to foster relationships that are genuine.
“I don’t wanna put them in my world ‘cause they’re not built for it yet,” he said. “And then it’s my responsibility as a parent to protect them. So if I put you in my world and now you go to school and everybody like, ‘Oh, ‘cause you’re Pitbull’s kid, and you’re Pitbull’s. Come here.’ How are you gonna ever know who’s your friend?”
Not only are details about his children kept private, but also of his relationships. His only reported romance was with Alba, and details about who the mothers of his other children are are largely unknown. He’s been linked to women in the past, but the “Time of Our Lives” singer is notably tagged as being single.
