The little guy in the photos? Yeah, that’s his son. You can tell from the way Reyes talked about him that fatherhood was his real MVP role. It’s pretty clear from these posts that his son was his world.
He shared his son with his ex-wife, Ivelka Felin, whom he married in 2020.
Reyes was sailing solo as a parent as they were already separated, having filed for divorce in 2021. There’s a noticeable absence of any recent pics or mentions of his baby momma, suggesting they had split up.
His social media was all about those father-son moments, not date nights or couple’s selfies. When he passed away, it appears he was single, focusing on his career and his kiddo.
The news of Reyes’s sudden death is a real heartbreaker, not just for his fans but even more for his child. The legacy Reyes leaves on the field is undeniably impressive, but the one he leaves as a dad? It’s on a whole other level.
