Alexander Delgado, leader of Gente de Zona, used his Instagram account to send a message full of love and humor to his son Alex Jr., who turned 13 years old on August 1.
The Cuban singer shared an emotional birthday message that quickly garnered reactions: "Happy Birthday my champion! Dad wishes you many more years of fulfilling your dreams and shining brighter each day... We love you," he wrote alongside a blue heart.
But the phrase that brought the most smiles came at the end, in the form of an inevitable postscript: "P.S. She is only 13 and has already caught up to me in height..."
The comment, delivered with all the charm in the world, made it clear that Alex Jr. —son of the artist and Mily Alemán— is growing at a pace that is already challenging for his own dad, whose height is around 1.79 meters.
The post quickly turned into a small phenomenon among the singer's followers, amassing over 13,000 likes and 537 comments in a short time, with dozens of fans joking about the topic of centimeters.
Alexander Delgado is known for openly sharing the most tender moments of his family life on social media, and Alex Jr.'s birthday is no exception: every August 1st becomes a small public celebration that his followers eagerly anticipate.
The bond between father and son was also evident last year when Alex Jr. returned the gesture to his dad by calling him "the best dad in the world" on social media during Alexander's birthday in August 2025.
That public exchange of affection between the two has become almost a tradition: the reunion between Alexander Delgado and his son has been one of the most celebrated moments by their followers in recent years.
In addition to Alex Jr., the singer has two other children: Kuki Delgado, his eldest daughter, with whom he also maintains a very close and visible relationship on social media, and Sofía Vargas, born in September 2016.
Alexander himself will turn 47 years old on August 21, so this month is undoubtedly the most festive for the Delgado family. For now, the absolute star is the 13-year-old champion who is already taller than his dad and promises to keep growing at that unstoppable rate.
