In a recent video shared on her social media, Cuban actress Laura Treto emphasized the essential role that her parents, Jorge Treto and Emma Robaina, play in raising her daughter, Havana.

"While there are grandparents who don't call or ask about their grandchildren, my parents would give their heart for my daughter," the artist stated in a message that did not go unnoticed.

The message was interpreted as a clear allusion to actress Isabel Santos, the mother of Havana's father, Alejandro Mirabal, from whom Laura Treto has been separated for some time.

A few months ago, Treto already stated emphatically that "the grandmother of my daughter is only the one who loves her granddaughter. The one they share, I don't know who that is."

The post generated supportive reactions among its followers, such as: “A grandmother who doesn’t love one grandchild doesn’t love anyone…”; “Your parents are enough…”

Since the birth of his daughter in 2022, the result of his relationship with Alejandro Mirabal—son of Isabel Santos—Treto has shared intimate and touching moments with his maternal family with his followers.

Last May, for example, he organized a birthday party inspired by Tangled, where Jorge Treto was the main entertainer.

Although they were close in the past — when Treto visited Cuba in 2022, he shared a warm embrace with Isabel Santos in Havana, accompanied by the phrase “The mother-in-law… I deliver her alive, alive…” — the relationship now seems to have changed.

What is undeniable is that, at this stage, Laura Treto prioritizes her daughter's emotional well-being and celebrates the unconditional love of her parents.

She constantly shares moments filled with tenderness and reflection on social media, and in this case, a clear message about what she truly finds meaningful in her family environment.
