This January, Spanish singer Melendi celebrated his 47th birthday. However, this time it wasn’t just the date that captured public attention, but also an unusual gift—an emotional letter from his eldest daughter, Carlota. The young model and influencer, who herself recently turned 21, chose to congratulate her father not with simple words, but with a heartfelt message full of sincere emotions and personal revelations.
In her letter, Carlota didn’t hide that the past year had been a real challenge for their family. She admitted that everyone was affected by hardships, but it was thanks to her father’s support that they managed to get through the difficulties. She thanked Melendi for his patience, care, and ability to be present even when words fell short. Her message gave special meaning to the everyday advice and familiar phrases like “take care” and “let me know when you arrive,” which, she said, had become a true source of comfort for her.
Carlota emphasized that it was her father who taught her to value hard work, respect, and perseverance rather than seeking easy solutions. She noted that Melendi had always been her role model, even when he wasn’t aware of it himself. In closing, she confessed she was proud to be his daughter and felt at peace knowing he would always be there for her. These words touched the artist deeply, and he couldn’t hold back his emotions upon reading his daughter’s message.
Family changes
In recent interviews, Carlota shared details about their family life. It turned out that Melendi has recently bought a new house in a small village to spend more time with his loved ones. According to her, their family is quite unique—everyone lives their own lives, but they are all very close and supportive of one another. She laughs when she calls them ‘crazy and different,’ but stresses that this is exactly what makes their bond special.
Despite their differences in character and interests, Carlota believes that family ties are the most important thing for them. She openly says that she is proud of her brothers and sisters, and sharing moments from their lives on social media brings her joy. She has an especially warm relationship with her brother Marco, who, she says, is always a hit with her followers.
Kids and jokes
Melendi is the father of five children. His eldest, Carlota, was born from his first marriage to Miriam Martínez de la Vega. His second child, Marco, was born from his relationship with the singer Dama. The three youngest daughters—Lola, Abril, and Dakota—are from his marriage to Julia Nakamasu. Jokes are a regular part of their family life: Carlota admitted that she sometimes teases her father that they could become parents at the same time if she decides to have a child. This idea always makes everyone smile, as the age gap between his children and grandchildren could end up being minimal.
Carlota speaks fondly of her siblings, emphasizing that each one is unique. She openly expresses pride in their achievements and considers them her main source of support. On social media, she often shares photos and videos with her brothers and sisters, which consistently draw attention from followers.
Family values
Carlota’s letter was not just a congratulation, but also a kind of manifesto for family values. She highlighted the importance of support, mutual understanding, and respect in relationships among loved ones. She believes that it is these qualities that help them overcome any difficulties and maintain warmth in the family, regardless of outside circumstances.
Many of Melendi’s fans noted that such heartfelt words from a daughter are rare among public figures. Carlota’s letter sparked a wave of support and approval on social media, and the artist himself admitted he was deeply moved by the gesture. Melendi’s family story reminds us once again that behind the facade of fame and success lie genuine human feelings that resonate with everyone.
