Daddy Yankee Becomes Grandfather as Daughter Jesaaelys Ayala Welcomes Baby Eira

Puerto Rican reggaeton star Daddy Yankee has become a grandfather following the birth of his daughter Jesaaelys Ayala's first child. Jesaaelys and her partner Carlos Olmo announced that their baby, named Eira Del Mar, was born on July 22, 2026 at 2:41 p.m., weighing 2.9 kg and measuring 51 cm.

The delivery was medically induced after Jesaaelys was diagnosed with intra‑hepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, a liver condition that causes severe itching and can endanger the baby if left untreated. The family shared photos and a heartfelt message on social media, thanking God for the blessing. Former partner Mireddys González also praised the newborn, and the celebration spread across social platforms.

The news marks the first time the singer, known for hits such as “Gasolina,” will be addressed as “Grandpa,” adding a personal milestone to his long‑standing music career.
