They say “new son, new life”, but Vicente Fernandez Jr. has taken it very seriously. The first-born son of music legend Vicente Fernández has left the social networks and the entertainment press open-mouthed after reappearing publicly with a totally renewed figure.
It’s not 5 or 10… It’s 17 kilos that the singer has lost! And all this is happening in the final stretch of his wife’s pregnancy, Mariana González, with whom he is expecting their fifth child (the couple’s first) in 2026.
At 62, the eldest of the “Potrillos” faced a reality that many men in his position avoid: the generation gap. In a recent conversation with local media, Vicente opened up about his main motivation. It wasn’t vanity, it was paternal survival.
Vicente Fernandez Jr. and his physical change
“I know I’m not a youngster. When my son is 10 years old, I’ll be over 70. I don’t want to be the dad who just sits there watching the kid play; I want to have the energy to run, get down on the floor and carry him without being short of breath,” confessed the singer, silencing many critics who questioned his decision to be a father at a senior age.
It’s no secret that his relationship with Mariana Gonzalez, popularly known as the “Mexican Kim Kardashian,” has rejuvenated the singer’s style. From hair grafts to wardrobe changes, Vicente Jr. has sought to keep up with his glamorous wife.
However, sources close to the family assure that this weight loss was the most difficult. She underwent a strict diet:
Zero alcohol and processed sugars during the last 6 months.
Strength routines designed to take care of your joints but burn fat.
Constant medical supervision to avoid decompensation, given his medical history (let’s remember that he is missing part of two fingers due to his kidnapping years ago, although that has never stopped him). As expected, the Internet is unforgiving. While his fans applaud the health effort, the “haters” were quick to appear. Comments suggesting the use of fashion drugs (such as the famous Ozempic) or cosmetic surgeries flooded her publications.
Vicente, true to the Fernández style, has ignored the negative rumors and has focused on showing off his results. “Let them say what they want, the scale doesn’t lie and neither does my energy,” he wrote in an Instagram story, sporting much tighter clothes than usual.
A new heir for the Dynasty
With the arrival of this baby, the Fernández Dynasty continues to grow. The family, which still honors the memory of the “Charro de Huentitán”, has closed ranks to support the couple. It is said that even Alejandro Fernandez, “El Potrillo”, has joked with his older brother telling him that now he “looks like the younger brother”.
The truth is that, whether for vanity, love or health, Vicente Fernández Jr. arrives in 2026 renewed, proving that it is never too late to reinvent himself, especially when there is a new life on the way.
