• Appearing on La pija y la Quinqui in Spain on Oct. 6, the singer shared how each of her three cats—Lupin, Villano and Pelusa—got their names.
• She said Pelusa honors Diego Armando Maradona’s childhood nickname, a connection she noted “means a lot” to her.
• Villano was named after Puerto Rican rapper Villano Antillano, whom she had just met before friends surprised her with a kitten on her birthday in Buenos Aires.
• Lupin is a 12-year-old cat that belongs to her partner, which she described as her adoptive child.
• Espósito added that growing older has helped her set boundaries, noting she often chooses quiet time at home with her cats during a busy run of Spain tour dates.
