“It’s a lot of hard work, but she keeps me balanced,” he explained. “She calms my world. I didn’t have the perfect situation with her mother, but she’s turned out perfect. She’s so sweet and so polite.”
While working on his sobriety and focusing on family, Ortiz-Magro is frank about the “bad situation” he was previously in.
“I almost lost everything I built. I almost lost my daughter,” he said. “I was in treatment for eight or nine months, but it helped me grow and it made me a stronger person.”
