Global music sensation J Balvin has shared a touching birthday tribute to his former partner, Valentina Ferrer, just days after the pair confirmed the end of their relationship. The couple, who were together for nearly a decade, recently announced their split, but the ‘Mi Gente’ singer made sure to honor Ferrer as she celebrated her 33rd birthday on September 19. Taking to Instagram, the 41-year-old artist posted a series of photos, including a sweet throwback and a candid shot of Ferrer with their five-year-old son, Rio.
In his emotional message, translated from Spanish, Balvin showered his ex-partner with praise, highlighting her strength, wisdom, and the beautiful way she navigates life. He expressed deep gratitude for their son, noting that watching her as a mother is something he deeply admires. The singer wrote, ‘There are people who deserve all the flowers, not just for what they do, but for who they are,’ before wishing her continued blessings and light in the next chapter of her life.
This public show of affection follows the couple’s recent confirmation that they have decided to part ways. Ferrer, who began dating the singer in 2017, emphasized that the decision was rooted in mutual love and respect. She stated that their primary focus remains their son, Rio, and that they are committed to co-parenting with the same love they have always shared. While the pair has historically kept their private life out of the spotlight, Balvin has previously shared his parenting philosophy, noting that his ultimate hope for his son is that he grows up to be a happy individual rather than feeling pressured to be the best at any specific pursuit.
