Meet Pitbull’s Children: Bryce Pérez and Destiny Pérez

Pitbull, born Armando Christian Pérez, is a Cuban-American rapper, singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur known globally as Mr. Worldwide.

He was born on January 15, 1981, in Miami, Florida, and is 45 years old. His ethnicity is Cuban-American, and his religion, though not publicly documented, is presumed Roman Catholic, in line with Cuba’s predominant faith.

His parents were José Antonio Armando Pérez Estades, simply known as Armando Perez, a Cuban immigrant who arrived in the United States during the 1980 Mariel boatlift, and Alysha Ángela Acosta, simply known as Alysha Acosta, who came to the country in 1962 through Operation Peter Pan.

His parents divorced in 1985 when he was four years old, and he was raised primarily by his mother. He has a half-sister, Jennifer Betances. Pitbull attended South Miami Senior High School before graduating from Miami Coral Park High School.

Pitbull has never married and has no wife. His most notable relationship was with Spanish model Barbara Alba, whom he dated for close to a decade before they separated in 2011. He briefly had an affair with Mexican model Olga Loera in 2012.

He is a father of six children, though only two, Bryce and Destiny, have been publicly identified; the identities of the other four and their mothers remain private. He stands 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) tall, and his net worth is $100 million.

Bryce Pérez

Bryce Pérez is Pitbull’s son, born on May 3, 2003. He is the younger of the rapper’s two publicly known children, born to Pitbull’s former longtime girlfriend Barbara Alba during their nearly decade-long relationship.

Pitbull has kept Bryce almost entirely out of the public eye, and his son does not make public appearances alongside him.

As a mark of fatherly devotion, Pitbull had a tattoo of Bryce’s face and birth date inked onto his arm. Bryce has one older sister, Destiny, along with four half-siblings whose identities have not been made public.

Destiny Pérez

Destiny Pérez is Pitbull’s daughter and his firstborn child, born on August 15, 2002. Like her younger brother Bryce, she was born to Barbara Alba, Pitbull’s former partner of nearly ten years.

Destiny’s existence became publicly known in 2011 through reports on child support payments Pitbull made to her mother, which were first documented by the Miami Herald.

As with Bryce, Pitbull commemorated Destiny by tattooing her face and birth date on his arm. She has largely stayed away from the spotlight despite her father’s global fame, and Pitbull has consistently emphasized that his private approach to fatherhood is meant to protect his children’s childhoods from public attention.
