Yahir discusses past poverty as son defends him against Gala Montes

Singer Yahir has shared personal details regarding the extreme financial hardships he faced during his early years of fatherhood. While participating in “La Casa de los Famosos México”, he revealed that while living in Tijuana with his son Tristán and the child's mother, he lacked sufficient funds for basic necessities. He recounted stealing cheese from a supermarket to feed his family and receiving mayonnaise from a local hot dog vendor to supplement meager meals.

In a related development, Yahir’s son, Tristán Othón, has publicly defended his father following criticisms from fellow contestant Gala Montes. Tristán used social media to counter Montes' remarks, describing his father as a disciplined and principled individual. Tristán also addressed Montes directly, suggesting she seek rehabilitation for alleged drug use, noting that he personally underwent such a process after hitting rock bottom.
