O-Town Lead Erik-Michael Estrada Estranged From His Biological Father Rubean!
Audiences have always been confused with 1949-born American actor Erik Estrada as the O-Town lead Eric-Michael Estrada’s father. But, no, they share no similar heritage.
Erik-Michael Estrada, the Baby Face lead vocalist, is famous for the multi-platinum pop group O-Town.
After O-Town disbanded, the artist explored acting briefly and appeared acting on several occasions.
He even appeared in archival footage on MTV’s Making The Band, where he talked about things when he was 20.
Besides, there are confusions about his father’s heritage as his audience confuses him as the son of actor Erik Estrada.
Though he shares a similar name to CHiP show actor Erik Estrada, he’s not related to him at all.
Erik-Michael Estrada Unravelled The Hoaxes Of His Fatherly Connection to ‘CHiPs’ Actor Erik Estrada
O-Town vocalist Erik-Michael Estrada made his name as a professional entertainer without any support from the Hollywood godfather.
Though he is mostly linked to actor CHiPs actor Erik Estrada’s kid, the similarly named individuals share no relation.
An article from Distractify explained that Erik was estranged from his biological father very young.
Further researching, we found a YouTube Video titled O-Town Making The Band in which Erik tries talking to him.
His biological father’s name is Rubean, and he stopped contacting him after his mother decided to split.
The video’s scene is upsetting, as Erik Michael uses his first name to identify himself after many years.
The incident shocked Rubean as well, as he was talking to his son after waiting years and years.
Though the vocalist pitched the idea of a meeting, he still accused him of showing interest after seeing him on TV.
As the video lapsed, we understood how Rubean’s low efforts left his son with unanswered questions about life.
His ex-father didn’t want himself in the documentary and exposed his current family to the internet.
Fabian, in the video, said:
Eric I put on honestly, I’m really excited that you called me. But I really don’t know if I really want to put my life on on film. It’s done cultural for me.
The musician didn’t say anything about the post-video incident, and the story of the estranged relationship ended for us.
However, there are some details that Mel, a Puerto Rican man, later married Erik-Michael Estrada’s mother, Micki.
Besides some Instagram posts on Estrada’s profile, we have no information about mother Micki and her husband.
Additional Information:
- Erik was raised in mixed Italian and Puerto Rican culture.
- He was one of the first four multi-platinum pop group O-Town members.
- The artist debuted with the hit single ‘Liquid Dreams’ in 2000
