The Cuban reggaeton artist El Chulo melted social media with a video showing him playing ball with his baby Justin in a garden in Mexico, while the little one bursts into laughter with his dad.
In the images, El Chulo is seen—wearing a sleeveless black shirt, Supreme shorts, and his unmistakable tattoos on both arms—kicking the ball with a huge smile, while the baby enjoys every second of the game in his mother's lap.
The artist accompanied the post with a phrase that says it all: "Happy baby, 'Sponge' is never sad with his dad, he's having a great time."
This moment comes just a day after the emotional reunion that El Chulo experienced when he hugged Justin for the first time after months of forced separation. "Happiness is not having it all, but rather loving what you have," said the Cuban singer.
The video of the game with the ball also generated an avalanche of affection: over 37,600 views and 7,042 likes in just a few hours, with reactions from artists like Osmani García, Rmillo, and Rey El Mago, who commented: "That brings me so much joy, man."
The very María Karla, the baby's mother and tagged in the post, quickly appeared in the comments: "My baby is always happy."
The distance from his children had been one of the most recurring themes on the artist's social media since he arrived in Mexico in early March. On the 16th of that month, he wrote: "I love them and miss them with all my heart", alongside a picture of his two children.
On March 23, María Karla traveled from the United States to reunite with him at the Mexican airport —without the baby on that occasion—, and the couple enjoyed a few days in Isla Mujeres afterwards. Chulo then called her "the love of my life."
Now, with Justin running after the ball among palm trees and buildings in the background, the family circle seems to close in the sweetest way possible.
Justin is the second child of the artist, born in June 2025 from his relationship with influencer María Karla. Although the couple separated for a few months after the birth of their child, they both baptized the little one together in September 2025, making it clear that the priority would always be the baby's well-being. Soon after, they announced their reconciliation.
El Chulo also has an older son, Jadiel, who remains in the United States, a country he had to leave after being arrested by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement on January 22 of 2026 at his residence in Homestead, Florida, due to a deportation order from 2018.
After signing his voluntary exit, he reappeared in Mexico on March 13 with a defiant attitude: "What they did to me was a favor", he declared at that time, announcing new music and a new phase of his career from Mexican soil.
Today, watching Justin laugh heartily with his dad, it seems that this new chapter has the best of beginnings.
