The renowned Argentine physician Alberto Cormillot celebrated the birth of his new son in September 2021 when he announced the joyful news through his social media.

Emilio is the third child of Cormillot, 83, with his wife Estefania Pasquini, 35, who managed to get pregnant after fertility treatment.

The nutrition expert is also the father of Renné and Adrián, the fruit of his previous relationship with Monika Arborgast, who passed away in 2017. Sometime later, he began an intense and passionate affair with fellow nutritionist Pasquini, whom he married in 2019.

Cormillot, who is also a former member of the Argentine Chamber of Deputies, says he will do everything to give his baby as many memories as possible, reports the New York Post.

"I am aware that life is not infinite. This little guy is here and I'm going to stick with him until a certain point," he stated. "I plan to enjoy each day to the fullest and make shorter-term plans, which means I enjoy each day as much as I can."

The doctor constantly leaves audio messages for his son to discover in the future. "Even though he is still a baby, he has a phone number with WhatsApp on which I record audio and send him videos." 

"Who said it was easy? We're learning together - Happy Father's Day!" wrote Cormillot on Sunday in an Instagram post accompanied by a video where he teaches his son to play the keyboard.

The couple hired a private Chinese teacher to teach Emilio. The doctor revealed in the radio program Detrás de Escena that the professional visits the baby twice a week to sing and talk to him in that language, according to the statements cited by eltrece.

"The teacher comes to our house and you don't know how much fun Emilio has with her. The idea is for him to retain the Chinese sounds. I don't know if he will speak Chinese in the future, but at least this way he can incorporate it," he concluded.

Cormillot was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2012, but all traces of the tumor were removed by surgery.
