Miguel Sets the Record Straight on New Baby & Divorce

Singer Miguel is setting the record straight! After welcoming his first child, a son named Angelito, in 2024 with his partner Margaret Zhang, some fans have been buzzing with speculation. The R&B star recently sat down with “The Breakfast Club” to discuss his new album “CAOS” and, of course, address the chatter surrounding his personal life.

Addressing the Rumors Head-On

Miguel didn’t shy away from the questions about his son’s arrival and its timing relative to his divorce from model Nazanin Mandi. The couple, who were together for nearly eighteen years and married for four, split in 2022. While many congratulated Miguel on becoming a father, others wondered if his new relationship and baby came before his divorce was finalized.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve kind of been…” Miguel shared with “The Breakfast Club” co-host Loren Lorosa, reflecting on the public’s reaction. He acknowledged that it’s a reminder that people feel entitled to comment on his life, but he’s proud of his journey.

The Truth About His Timeline

Miguel was particularly clear about the timeline of his relationship with Margaret Zhang. He emphasized that he did not start a new relationship or have a baby while still married. “I got divorced – and I’m going to say this straight up,” he stated firmly.

Everybody out there talking s–t like I was still in a marriage and then I had a baby or I was having an affair all this time? I met my son’s mom after we were divorced. — Miguel

He explained that he met his son’s mother after his divorce was finalized, even recounting how they met at an event they weren’t even planning to attend. This clarifies any speculation that he was unfaithful or that his new family life overlapped with his previous marriage.

Proud Fatherhood and Partnership

Beyond addressing the rumors, Miguel also expressed immense pride in his partner and their son. He called Zhang “incredible” and stated that their son “couldn’t have a better mother.” He acknowledged that life doesn’t always unfold as planned, but he’s embracing his role as a father.
