A live broadcast of Yailin La Más Viral became the most discussed moment when her three-year-old daughter Cattleya referred to her mother's boyfriend as "uncle."
The clip was trimmed and published on TikTok by the account @rdvibezzzz, and within a few hours, it accumulated nearly 300,000 views and over 31,000 likes. In the video, you can clearly hear the little girl say "uncle" as she addresses Yoanki, the 25-year-old Dominican barber and stylist with whom Yailin has been in a relationship since the beginning of the year.
The scene is as spontaneous as it is revealing: Cattleya appears, greets the camera, and interacts with Yoanki with the ease of someone who knows exactly where he fits in her world. The creator of the video summarized it lovingly in the description: "Catta calling Yoanki 'uncle,' what a lovely family together."
The reactions in the comments came immediately, with a tone predominantly filled with tenderness and humor. Many users instantly identified with the situation. "I also call my stepdad 'uncle,'" wrote one follower along with laughing emojis. "My daughter doesn’t even acknowledge my partner," "My husband's daughter calls me 'aunt,'" "It's fine for her to call him 'uncle' instead of dad, and people are criticizing. It's okay for her to say 'uncle,' she doesn’t need a stepdad, she has her father for that," said others.
There were also those who delicately pointed out the issue: "Better for her to call him uncle than to call him dad; she has her dad, who is Anuel," wrote a user, reminding that the girl is the daughter of Anuel AA. And most agreed: for Cattleya to call Yoanki "uncle" is exactly what's appropriate, and she does so with a charming ease that melts hearts.
Yailin publicly introduced Yoanki in May on the program Planeta Alofoke with a phrase that has already become famous: "that man has it out for me." Since then, the relationship has been moving at full speed: in July the three enjoyed a vacation together in Playa Ermitaño, Samaná, and shortly after, Yailin got Yoanki's name tattooed on the back of her hand, a gesture he reciprocated with a tattoo dedicated to her.
The fact that Cattleya shares space with Yoanki, called him "uncle" without thinking twice, and smiled for the camera says a lot about how that blended family is doing. And Yailin's followers received it exactly like that: "They seem to be getting along well, how lovely," summarized a comment with 16 likes that captured the general sentiment.
Cattleya turned three in March and, judging by this video, she already knows very well who is who in her life. "How lovely Cata is, and what an uncle, she knows a lot," wrote another user, and that says it all.
