Debbie Rosado dated Marc Anthony when he was an emerging musician in the early 1990s. They have a son and a daughter together, both of whom keep their lives away from the spotlight.

Their union ended after only a couple of years, followed by a legal battle. Despite their parental discrepancies, Debbie approves of her ex's fathering traits.

Debbie Sued Her Ex-partner

Debbie was not always the girlfriend of a famous musician. In actuality, before she began dating the father of her children, she worked as a civil servant. Debbie was a policewoman in New York before getting into a relationship with the "I Need To Know" singer in 1993.

The couple remained together for two years in the early 1990s and eventually split in 1995. That was a big year for the Latinx musician as he could not put a foot wrong in the musical side of his life, compounded by an impressive run of eight Billboard chart-topping hits from the album "Todo a su Tiempo."

The pair became parents during their relationship, but after a few years of cordially splitting the parental bill, Debbie felt that her co-parent needed to increase his contributions to their child's life.

On May 18, 2000, Debbie and Marc were in a Queens, New York court, figuratively tugging on either side of a rope in disagreement over Marc's child support payments. At the time, the singer was paying $450 a week in child support, covering his ex's $800 rent, and fitting the bill of her vehicle.

The Latinx hitmaker's net worth was the focal point of the battle in court as it was revealed he had purchased a property in Manhattan for $2,000,000 while already owning other properties in Puerto Rico and the Catskills. The court ordered him to add to Debbie's existing health insurance plan for their child.

After all, Debbie openly admitted that the singer is a good father, but he refused to answer any of the media's questions. Debbie has lived a pretty private life since, and little is known about her and her relationship status.

Debbie Shares 2 Children with Her Ex

During the 1990s, the couple became parents for the first time when they welcomed a daughter named Ariana Muñiz. Although she is the daughter of a famous musician, the details about her life are pretty concealed. However, it has been established that she also works in the entertainment industry.

She appeared in an episode of "South Beach" in 2006 as Lola. The TV series starring the actress with four children of her own, Vanessa Williams, is about two New York friends, Vince and Matt, who run off to Miami to escape the troubles of their Brooklyn lives.

With Ariana's life being as private as it is, very few facts are known about her; however, she is the child whose child support became a conflict between Debbie and the musician.

After Ariana, Debbie and Marc adopted their only son, Chase Muñiz Rosado, formally known as Alex. Chase prefers to lead a private life and does not have a publicly recognized social media account despite coming from a very famous, blended New York family. This year, Chase will be turning 27.

Chase is heavily influenced by his father, and he seems to support his father during all the crucial moments of his life. Debbie's son is also very accepting of the relationships that his father got into after he split from his mother.

Debbie's son picked up some of his father's quirks, like the love for tattoos, as his inked neck is seen on the second slide of the media below. Chase is seen dressed to the theme with his step-siblings at Marc's 50th birthday celebration.

Before she married retired baseball player Alex Rodriguez, singer Jennifer Lopez married Chase's father and remained with him for a decade between 2004 and 2014. After Marc and Jennifer split, Chase still considered the songstress his stepmother despite Marc remarrying.

Debbie's ex-boyfriend has found love in marriage for the fourth time with Paraguayan fashion model Nadia Ferreira. The singer's wife is a little over 30 years his junior and younger than some of his children.
