Rep. Matt Gaetz revealed Thursday that he has an adopted son from Cuba, a previously unknown fact the Florida Republican kept largely hidden, including from organizations compiling biographical data on the lawmaker.

“For all those wondering, this is my son Nestor. We share no blood but he is my life,” Gaetz tweeted. “He came from Cuba (legally, of course) six years ago and lives with me in Florida. I am so proud of him and raising him has been the best, most rewarding thing I’ve done in my life.”

Data compiled by CQ Roll Call — and previously confirmed by Gaetz’s office — did not list the congressman as having any children during his two terms so far in Congress or as a House candidate. As recently as July 2019, CQ Roll Call conducted biographical data checks, and Gaetz’s staff did not disclose Nestor Galban as his son when they were asked to confirm basic biographical information. Instead, his office confirmed that Gaetz was single with no children.
