Fat Joe was 19 when his son was born. “When he’s born, the doctor tells us, ‘Hey I got bad news ... he has Down syndrome; he’s going to be a big challenge,’” Fat Joe told Sharpe.

Fat Joe is also the father of son Ryan, from a previous relationship, and daughter Azariah, who he shares with his wife, Lorena Cartagena. At home, the rapper said that Joey is happy — really happy.
