Dayanara Torres reflects on her sons leaving home
Dayanara Torres said her sons leaving home was painful during a radio conversation with Colombian singer Camilo Echeverry.
Torres, a Puerto Rican presenter and former Miss Universe, has two sons, Cristian and Ryan, from her marriage to Marc Anthony.
She said she felt lost when both sons moved away, including when they left for university and began their own lives.
Cristian studied graphic design and illustration in New York, while Ryan has focused on music engineering and modelling.
