Matt Gaetz, 38, is reportedly a father to an adopted young adult named Nestor Galban.

Gaetz claims that Nestor lost his mother to breast cancer at just 12 years old when he arrived in the US.

During the politician’s Hot Take podcast, he described how Nestor is the brother of an ex-girlfriend and that “I sort of feel like a single step-parent at times,” though it is unclear what ex he is referring to.

According to Gaetz, Nestor lived with him for four years after coming from Cuba and then moved to Miami for his junior year and lived with his biological father.

Gaetz dished to People magazine about keeping Nestor under wraps, saying: “Just imagine: You’re 12 years old, your mom has just died, you’re learning English as you’re trying to get your footing in school. 

Adding: “It just wasn’t the right time in middle school and high school to subject him to politics.”

What did Matt Gaetz say about Nestor?

Gaetz said that he had allowed Nestor to go on spring break on Panama City Beach to make up for not being allowed to go to prom or having a “real graduation.” 

Speaking to Fox News, Gaetz said: “My son is a college freshman. He had no real graduation, no prom, and I struggled with whether or not to allow him to enjoy spring break at Panama City beach.”

“I allowed him to have an abbreviated one,” Gaetz added. 

“I did not have a good night’s rest the entire time he was there until I knew he was safe, OK, and back at school.”

Panama City is just one of the few cities in Florida that have tightened their spring break rules due to unruly visitors and to curb the spread of coronavirus.

No alcohol is allowed on the beaches, and the bars will close at 2am instead of 4am, according to local news outlet WTVM.

Additionally, the city is barring large gatherings of more than 125 people, and anyone caught on the beach with alcohol could face a $500 fine or a jail term.

One user tweeted: “Matt Gaetz has no sons, adopted or natural. Calling Nestor his “son” is a fiction to disguise the awkwardness of a man’s having no legal relationship to his live-in teenage boy companion.”

Another said: “It’s cute he still thinks we believe that Nestor is his “son’”

A third chimed in: “I want to see the adoption papers for his “son”, a grown man who lives with a grown man.”
