Maluma comes from humble beginnings. "My family, we were not rich," he said. "We had what we needed, but then my dad lost everything, and my parents got divorced . . . It's what made me realise I had to work super hard so my family could have food and a house to live in . . . But between everything, I was a very happy child."
He and his sister, Manuela Londoño Arias, have a special bond. "We love going to the farm, riding horses together, talking about life," the singer explained. "My sister is a psychologist, so it's beautiful having someone like that close to me. This is a crazy industry, and you always need someone who can support you and listen to you. She is like a spiritual guide."
