Why J Balvin Prioritizes Teaching His Son About “Love and Being Happy”

For J Balvin, being an adult with a plate full of responsibilities can be taxing. However, he’s not afraid to express himself. As he puts it, “I always want to show how I really am because I’m human.”

“I cried yesterday, what’s wrong with that? It helps me,” he continued. “When I see a man crying, it’s not weakness. I see someone that has feelings and that is sensitive. I’m into being real and showing your emotions.”

After all, the Colores singer is passionate about tearing down the stigmas associated with mental health struggles.

“Because I had moments, and thank God I haven’t had those episodes again,” he said. “I’m really open because I know how it is to live this.”

J Balvin, who called himself “blessed” for taking medication to help with his mental health, explained, “I don’t feel like, ‘Oh s–t I have to live with this forever.’ That’s what really helps me swim and not get hit by the waves.”
