Dayanara Torres responded to all those who criticized that she speaks English with her children Cristian and Ryan when she is with her grandmother.
Dayanara Torres responds to the allegations
On Wednesday, May 19, Dayanara Torres uploaded a video to her Instagram account of her speaking in English with Cristian and Ryan.
The three were aboard a limousine with Ms. Luz Delgado, the driver’s mother, as they headed to the ceremony where the New School released another generation. At the beginning of the clip, the grandmother of Marc Anthony’s children says a few words in Spanish.
Although many users of the social network congratulated her on the success of her firstborn with Marc Anthony, others criticized her.
“Do you speak Spanish out of respect for the lady who I think is the grandmother”, “Why don’t you speak Spanish?” What happened?”, “Why do you speak English?” I really didn’t understand. “You are of Puerto Rican origin, out of respect for your country you should speak Spanish,” the netizens wrote.
Faced with the wave of allegations, Dayanara responded in the same publication to those who opposed using the English language to chat with Ryan and Cristian.
“Here is a copy and paste for those who judge without knowledge. My kids speak Spanish, but we won’t translate every conversation we have into every language they know…” he judged.

“(They) were ‘born and raised’ (born and raised) in New York and Los Angeles and speak both languages,” he added emphatically.
The equally popular model, who recently celebrated her Miss Universe crowning 30 years ago, took the opportunity to highlight what she thinks is truly remarkable in the clip she posted.
“The beauty of the video is our conversation and mother-child interaction … but it seems that’s not important to some,” he concluded.
Because of this news, Torres received support from his fans. “Don’t give these ‘haters’ explanations, live and enjoy the moment you were a model mom,” said one fan.

Dayanara Torres passed her love for Puerto Rico on to her children
A decade ago, Dayanara Torres made it clear that one of her parenting goals was to introduce Cristian and Ryan to the country they grew up in.
“As a mother, it is a priority for me to share the beauty and culture of Puerto Rico with my children so that they appreciate it as much as I do,” she said during the tribute presented to her by that country’s government.
Last year Cristian and Ryan visited the so-called “Island of a Thousand Names”. Accompanied by their current stepmother, Nadia Ferreira, they even witnessed the concert given by their father at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum.
