Luis Miguel's relationship with his daughter, Michelle Salas, had quite the rocky start, and it's been fodder for public speculation for decades. People will forever be interested because Luis Miguel was estranged from his firstborn for years after her birth in 1989, but they eventually got reacquainted when she was older. Michelle is the result of a relationship he had with Stephanie Salas at the height of his career in the 1980s, when the pair were quite young. Although they never exclusively dated, they were bound together forever through their baby girl.
The "La Bikina" singer was not in contact with his daughter for years, and when she was a teenager, Michelle called her father out in an interview and demanded answers as to why he turned his back on her for so long. Many believe that it was that interview that inspired the "Si Nos Dejan" singer to reconnect with her after so many years.

Spoiler alert: He has, and scientifically there is no denying it. Let's take a look at Luis Miguel and Michelle's complicated relationship throughout the years.
