Ricardo Montaner, the esteemed Venezuelan-Argentine singer-songwriter, is not only known for his musical talents but also for being a devoted father to his five children. At 64 years old, he has built a musical legacy while embracing the most significant role of his life: being a dad. Let’s meet the Montaner crew, all of whom are following in their father’s footsteps in the music industry and are affectionately described as “a music herd” by the proud patriarch.
- Alejandro Montaner: Alejandro is the eldest son of Ricardo Montaner from his first marriage to Ana Vaz (1975-1986). After being born in Venezuela, Alejandro later settled in the United States. Besides his passion for music, he holds a degree in Marketing and music business from the University of Miami. Alejandro embarked on his singing career with the release of his debut album “Everything I Have” in 2001, which included two charting singles on the Billboard Latin Songs chart. He currently works as a headhunter for Sony Music Latin, serving as the Vice President in the area of artists and repertoires. He’s 45 years old and maintains a private and reserved presence on social media.
- Hector Montaner: Hector is also the product of Ricardo Montaner’s first marriage to Ana Vaz. He is an accomplished author, composer, and singer, known for collaborations with artists such as CNCO and Abraham Mateo. Hector’s voice has a resemblance to his father’s, and he gained recognition with the song “Buen Amor.” Like his older brother Alejandro, Hector was born in Venezuela but now resides in the United States with his wife and three children. He’s 40 years old.
- Ricardo ‘Ricky’ Montaner: In 1989, Ricardo Montaner married his second wife, the Venezuelan filmmaker Marlene Rodriguez Miranda, and Ricky was their first child. Ricky spent his early years in Caracas before moving to Miami with his family. Now 31 years old, Ricky began his musical journey at the tender age of six, singing in his church choir. Later, he joined his father’s tours and formed the duo Mau y Ricky with his younger brother Mauricio. Recently, Ricky made headlines for his wedding with Argentine television host Stefania Roitman.
- Mauricio Montaner: Ricardo Montaner’s fourth child, Mauricio, was born in 1993. At 28 years old, he is married to Colombian designer Sara Escobar since February 2018. Following the footsteps of his father and brother Ricky, Mauricio started in music as part of his church choir at the age of four. He became a drummer and toured with his father’s Latin American music shows while Ricky played the guitar. Later, he and Ricky formed the duo Mau y Ricky, establishing themselves as singers in the urban genre and successful songwriters for other artists.
- Evaluna Montaner: The youngest and only daughter in the Montaner herd, Evaluna, was born in 1997. She made her artistic debut before her siblings, appearing in her father’s music video “If I Had to Choose” at just four years old. As she grew older, Evaluna sang on various occasions, including performing the theme song “Only Hope” on an Argentine TV show alongside her brother Mau. She took on acting roles in Nickelodeon’s youth series “Grachi” and hosted a segment on “The Voice Colombia.” In February 2020, Evaluna married Colombian singer Camilo, and they recently announced their excitement to welcome their first child, whose name is Indigo.
The Montaner family is not only a musical dynasty but also a testament to love, inspiration, and support. Despite the weight of their famous heritage, the Montaner children have found their own paths and acknowledged their father’s role as both an artistic inspiration and a loving family man. Their bond remains unbreakable, and their achievements continue to shine brightly in the music industry.
