Controversy[]
Ali is Ferran's stepfather. Andrea used to be an adult film star and fled from Colombia due to being involved with shady people.[1] According to Pierre Lepine (Ferran's Biological Father), all the happy behavior that they show on Social Media is fake. Pierre also said that, Andrea did not meet Ali in a restaurant as they say in all their stories, but actually in a gym, and she cheated on Pierre with Ali[2]. Andrea has been preventing Pierre from contacting Ferran for 7 years (for an unknown reason) despite having legal permission for him to do so.
