The Big Daddy

[Blind Gossip] This story just gets weirder and weirder.

If you are calling someone your son, shouldn’t there be some sort of legal record that the child belongs to you?

There is not.

But there is a lot more information to add to the mystery!

The boy actually does have a birth father.

The boy’s birth mother posted on social media a couple of years ago how proud she was of her son’s scholastic achievements.

The boy’s aunts live locally to the boy in the United States.

The boy’s sister moved to the other side of the country and left the boy with New Daddy.

So there are all these blood relatives around, but the boy was left to live with a single, older man who was unrelated to him and who did not have any sort of legal relationship to the boy or to any of his relatives.

No one seems to know who was taking care of the son when New Daddy – a big, rich, important politician – was working in another city, far away from home.

Despite having this son for years, New Daddy never included Son on his holiday card, although he did include other family members.

Finally, despite having Son for years, New Daddy never mentioned him to most of his colleagues. If someone asked him who the child was, he referred to him as a “local student” or his “helper.

New Daddy only referred to him as Son when there was a political point to be made.

We really don’t know what is going on.

    Rep Matt Gaetz from Florida and his Cuban “son”.

    Op- not sure but honestly does sound weird. The “son” is 19 I believe, so maybe he can bring some clarity to the situation without any threats of blackmail or retribution.

    New Daddy: Matt Gaetz?
    What do you think is going on?: Possibly he didn’t tell people he considered him his son because the relationship with the sister ended (maybe she didn’t feel ready for the responsibility). Too hard to explain especially if there were no official adoption papers. And didn’t Nestor’s parents let sister have him?

    Unless there’s outcry from the mom or dad (there was from a whole community when a child was taken in Costa Rica), it may not be nefarious. Though it’s…

    Matt Gaetz
    If a child is not your biological, adopted, foster or under your guardianship you have ZERO rights over that child, You can’t authorize medical treatment or request records. ANY guardian, parent, foster parent or DCF (wink wink) case manager would know this and go through all the legal red tape to ensure the PROPER legal placement of any child you are harboring. How has he been “caring” for this child or enrolling him in school? This STINKS of human trafficking of which MIAMI is…

    Matt Gaetz.

    Agreed, something peculiar going on here. I’m thinking Matt would be better off if he had kept this in the closet.

    It’s Matt Gaetz and his ‘son’ Nestor. Matt never said he adopted Nestor, but he is financially supporting him. They’re happy. Now give it a rest.

  16. zappy2050 says

    Parents all over the world use their children for financial gain.

    Letting their child live live with a stranger in order to reap financial gains is not unusual.

    I am not leveling any accusations against Matt Gaaetz who may have a generous soul and just helping this young man – Who he calls a son but with no legal documents and with no family ties and blood relatives living nearby – out of the kindness of his heart

    Congressman Matt Gaetz. It will come out. Perhaps Matt was trying to get in front of a salacious story by claiming the kid is his son…

  19. tcw2579 says

    Matt Gaetz, my “esteemed” representative in Congress.

    I think they are bangin’

  20. deepsigh says

    Sometimes families are like that. For whatever reason no one wants the kid. Parents divorce and remarry, new spouses don’t want kid around. No one is paying support. The bio family happy to let someone else deal with it all. Even if the child is healthy, intelligent,and good hearted. Bio families can be self centered scum bags. * it’s basically the story of a cast member of Mad Men. Raised by friends’ parents. So how about we give the evil minded thinking a rest? Benefit of the doubt.

    I have heard he has been living quietly with a male. Whether this young man is it, I don’t know, but it sure doesn’t sound like a wholesome arrangement. I suspect the family has been “helped” financially.

  24. opulence says

    Matt Gaetz and his Boy Toy. Kind of creepy given the fact Nestor was 14 when they met. If we are to believe Matt, he had major problems around the time he “adopted” him. Somethings fishy

  26. Shameless says

    Rep. Matt Gaetz. He’s gay and met the “son” when the kid was working as a congressional page / intern. Sugar daddy!

    Matt Gaetz

    What I think is going on is so sinister I can’t even bring myself to mention it… As far as I’m concerned the boy’s family failed him. He would have 12 when he went to live with Matt. Nothing is right about this.

  28. sleepless says

    Sounds like an informal type of adoption approved of by the family. Happens all of the time. I understand the boy was left an orphan and did anyone happen to think that maybe his family members were not in a position to take the boy in? Not everything has to be sinister ya know.

  31. Pinkieswear says

    Nestor is the “son” of Matt Goets. Nestor’s older sister used to be Matt’s girlfriend, and when they split, Nestor stayed with Matt.

    I think they probably got along well, and when things didn’t work out with Matt and his girlfriend, they all decided that Nestor would stay in the same school with the same friends and with the opportunities that come from being around political people. Nothing nasty or inappropriate.

  33. lvsoxfan says

    Obviously Matt Gaetz. I’m absolutely floored that it’s very possible this guy is going to turn out to be a closet case–and yet has spent his career victimizing LGBTQ people (and, by extension, Latinos).

    That’s a special kind of evil and hypocrisy.

  34. letinstar says

    Matt Geatz is the “New Daddy”
    Something in the milk ain’t clean with this” father/son relationship”.

  36. BeauSo says

    Matt Gaetz was the ONLY person to vote against the Human Trafficking Bill in 2017. This was during the time his “son” or “helper” or “page” was living with him. The Human Trafficking Bill passed the US Senate unanimously and passed the US House of Representatives 418 to 1.

    Gaetz claimed it was because he is for “less government.” Suuuuuure.

    Gaetz is known for stunts and right-wing fringe conspiracy theories, and he took a Holocaust denier as his guest to a State of the Union…

  37. bec215d says

    According to news reports, after living with Gaetz a few years, the kid went to live with his birth father for several years, but at some point he moved back in with Gaetz. Families can be very dysfunctional. Maybe his family was abusive. Maybe his aunts didn’t want out have money to take him in. If he choose to leave his dad to be fostered by Gaetz, great. Even a broken clock (Gaetz) is right twice a day – he’s still a *, even if he did one good deed.
