Nodal and Cazzu began dating in 2022. In a March interview with Billboard, Nodal reflected on how his tour life had changed since starting a family with the "Maléfica" singer.

"I remember those times when I would come down from the stage and feel alone," Nodal said at the time. "Now I come down to a stroller with my baby in it, and it all seems perfect. … When she was born, I was feeling exhausted.
