The young Cuban Thalía set social media ablaze with a reel titled "A Morning with Me," showcasing her morning routine after her older son's return to school. In the video, her boyfriend, music producer Dany Herrera, is seen feeding the baby a bottle alongside their older child. The result: over 27,800 likes and 705 comments in just a few hours, along with a flood of opinions that extend far beyond motherhood.
The post came right after the start of the Cuban school year 2026-2027, which began on September 1, and the timing did not go unnoticed by anyone. Because Thalía is not just a mom sharing her morning: she is the ex of Velito El Bufón (Dariel Gutiérrez Pérez), and her followers are very aware of that.
One of the comments with the most likes on the post says it all without beating around the bush: "These kids are so mature, my God, and Thalía, a round of applause for you, my queen. People are still not ready to enjoy at a concert of your ex like you did with your current partner. You have only shown that you are a super mature woman, completely the opposite of what Velito and his girlfriend have demonstrated. Velito has left a lot to be desired in this situation; he showed that for him, a European, a passport was much more important than the woman who supported him throughout his journey."
The second comment with the most likes, 839, is more succinct but equally impactful: "Thali is doing very well, folks."
And the praises for the boyfriend are no less. "May God bless those men who are better stepparents than their biological fathers," wrote one follower, receiving 343 likes in support. Another, with 332, went straight to the point about the biological father: "That’s a father, not like the one who made him, off acting all European." One more mentioned the boyfriend by his username: "With the way he looks at the kids, he charms them; he's worth his weight in gold. Honestly, that's what being a real man is about, not the deadbeat father they ended up with, for God's sake. More men like @dany_herrera_18."
There were also those who pointed out the issue more delicately: "All of this while the artist goes on living his life with his blonde; it’s hard to witness this—a young mother with a responsibility that no amount of money can compensate."
And there were plenty of messages expressing pure support for her: "She found a man who loves her and loves her babies," "My respect goes to the guy, because Thalía already knew what it was like to be a mother with her first child, but the guy stayed with her even with two children and is helping her raise them; that doesn't happen in the youth of Cuba anymore."
The backdrop of all this is a story that has been on the lips of half of Cuba for months. Thalía and Velito El Bufón announced their separation in February, just days after the birth of their second child, Thiago.
The singer officially confirmed his relationship with Paula Martínez, a Spanish cabin crew member, on the same day as Thalía's 21st birthday. Instead of being downcast, she introduced Dany Herrera as her new boyfriend in July, celebrated their first month together with a photo at the beach, and on August 31, they both attended Velito's concert in Varadero together, which also went viral.
Now, with a morning routine reel, Thalía has once again captured the conversation. And the conclusion of her followers seems unanimous: "Sometimes life takes people away from you to reward you with something better."
