At the recent GenZ Awards ceremony, which brought together Spain’s leading influencers and social media stars, Carlota Melendi made an appearance. The eldest daughter of one of Asturias’ most famous performers rarely makes public outings, so her presence immediately caught the attention of journalists. Carlota, who is actively developing her own blog, was happy to answer questions, including those about her famous father.
The main topic of discussion was the possibility of the already large Melendi family growing even further. Not long ago, the artist’s current wife, Julia Nakamatsu, jokingly hinted on social media that there might be another baby on the way. With a smile, Carlota commented on the situation, explaining that everything in their family happens gradually. She suggested that if there’s going to be a new addition, they’ll approach it thoughtfully and without haste—taking things, as she put it, ‘one at a time’.
For Melendi himself, fatherhood is one of the central themes in his life. Today, the musician is a father of five. With Argentine dancer Julia Nakamatsu, he has three daughters: Lola, Abril, and the youngest, Dakota. The singer also has two children from previous relationships—Carlota and a son, Marco. Carlota shared that she has a very close and warm relationship with her half-brother, even though he lives with his mother, the singer Dama. She said she feels protective of him and tries to spend as much time with him as possible.
Interestingly, the head of the family himself publicly announced back in 2019 his decision to “stop” at four children. He pointed out that family stability brings him immense happiness, but he was not planning any further additions. However, life had its own plans, and Dakota was born. This clearly shows that the artist is quite capable of revisiting his own decisions. He has often spoken with pride about his children, emphasizing that for him, a large family is a source of joy, and he has always followed the principle “where three eat, there is room for a fourth”—and in his case, for a fifth as well.
Carlota also shared, with humor, a funny conversation she had with her father. She joked that it would be quite comical if she and her father ended up having children at the same time. In that case, her child and her new brother or sister would be almost the same age, creating a unique family dynamic. This reflects the relaxed and trusting atmosphere in their large household. Carlota’s appearance at a major youth event like the GenZ Awards highlights her own ambitions in the media space, where she is confidently building her career, regardless of her father’s fame.
