Dayanara Torres left the studio of Enrique Santos speechless when, during a conversation about the eight children of Marc Anthony, she offered a response that was as cheeky as it was accurate: that her children are so good-looking because he "had help" — a playful and direct nod to her own beauty as a mother.
The moment was captured in a clip posted on Instagram that racked up hundreds of comments.
It all started when someone in the studio mentioned that Marc Anthony "has quite attractive children" and pointed out that he is the most famous Latino with the most kids. The conversation also included an interesting fact: that the singer's father, Don Felipe, told him as a child that he was ugly, which led him to develop his charisma and "work on his charm."
It was in that atmosphere of laughter and camaraderie where Dayanara, without a second thought, made her remark with all the naturalness that defines her.
The reaction in the studio was immediate: laughter, applause, and an atmosphere of complete camaraderie that was captured on video.
On social media, fans quickly celebrated the response. "It's the absolute truth!!!!! And the prettiest kids are Dayanara's," "I loved it when you said he has help, so true," and "Definitely! The two most beautiful are the ones he had with Dayanara!" were some of the comments.
The children being referred to are Cristian and Ryan Muñiz Torres, the result of his marriage to Marc Anthony from 2000 to 2004. Cristian debuted as a comic artist after graduating from Parsons in illustration, while Ryan has ventured into modeling and music.
Despite their divorce, Dayanara and Marc Anthony have maintained a cordial relationship for the well-being of their children. They were both present at Cristian's graduation in 2023, and the former Miss Universe has always been open about how she manages that family dynamic.
The singer, for his part, is expecting his eighth child with his current wife, Nadia Ferreira, announced earlier this year.
Dayanara is a regular contributor to Enrique Santos' morning show on TU 94.9 FM, where she previously had another viral moment by admitting that she keeps the photos of her wedding to Marc Anthony in the garage "for her children."
Moments like this, where Dayanara combines humor, spontaneity, and a touch of mischief without losing her elegance, are exactly what explain why her audience continues to love her so much, decades after her reign as Miss Universe 1993.
