Fuente has a big family.
Yazdani and Fuente have five healthy and ambitious children together: Ricardo De La Fuente, Roque De La Fuente III, Kamila De La Fuente, Kassandra De La Fuente, Katayoun De La Fuente.
Ricardo has followed his father's steps into politics, and he is currently running for congress. Kassandra is a senior at New York University who will be graduating in 2021. Being a dad is something Fuente is grateful for.
On his Instagram, he posted a family portrait for Father's Day with a caption that reads, "Being a father has given me the opportunity to learn to be a leader, have discipline and be an example for my family, my community and my country!"
Though the rest of the family is quite private, Fuente comments on them every once in awhile, bringing the big family into the public for a brief moment.
