Aarón and Ife adore their son Yuma and have expressed that countless times on social media. Here is everything to know about the pre-teen.

Get To Know Yuma Sanchez – Posts His Father Shares about Him

Yuma was born in March 2011 in New York City and is 12 years old. As a newborn, his famous father Aarón posted a picture holding him and wrote, "Me and my son, Yuma, at home. Enjoying every moment spent with him."

Fast forward to December 2018, when he was seven years old, Yuma's dad gushed over him again on his Facebook account, writing, "My face melts when I am with Papi Pequeno, and he's all rock and roll."

Three years later, in October 2021, when Yuma was ten, Aarón noted how much time flew by as he was growing up too fast. The doting dad shared a throwback photo of him and his son as an infant.

"My boy Yuma a.k.a. Papi Pequeño is growing up so fast! Taking a moment this weekend to remember these old precious moments," the television personality captioned his post.

Aarón has also shared pictures of him and Yuma spending time as father and son on social media. In March 2014, he posted a snapshot of his child holding Chef John Besh's cookbook and said Yuma was "doing some light reading."

In July 2022, the duo attended the NASCAR Quake State 400 in Atlanta. Aarón posted an image of the pair posing at the event with his arm wrapped around Yuma, revealing that they had fun together.

Yuma Sanchez's Bonding Time with His Mother

Aarón, who appeared on "MasterChef" with Gordon Ramsay, was married to Yuma's mother Ife. Ife is a musician and is part of a band. She and the Mexican-American native were husband and wife from 2009 until 2012.

Like her former spouse, Ife shares photos of her and the duo's son on social media. Young Yuma may follow in her footsteps as he appears interested in music.

In May 2016, the loving mom posted a clip of Yuma on Instagram playing drums and captioned it, "My son, with his new drum set that Abuelo got for him, jamming out to Black Keys."

She, too, has shared snapshots of the mother and son duo spending time together. Ife posted a photo of the pair at the subway station in September 2018 and revealed Yuma still remembers being a New Yorker, which amazes her.

The Michigan native paid tribute to her child on National Son Day a year later in September 2019, showing off more of Yuma's talents. She proudly called him her "little artist," buddy, and sunshine on her caption alongside a picture of him smiling while pointing at one of his drawings.

In addition to Yuma, Ife has also given glimpses of her daughter Sofia Piana. On a Mother's Day post in May 2016, she called her child a beautiful "bright, wise, intelligent kind soul," adding she is lucky to be her mom alongside a throwback childhood picture of her and Sofia.

Sofia is now all grown up and is also active on social media. She has over 2,000 followers on her Instagram account. Being a big sister, Sofia has also posted images of Yuma on her page, including one post from September 2020, which she captioned with his name.

Despite her and Yuma growing older, their proud mother said she still considers them her "babies," adding that no matter how old they get, it will never change.
