De Vera and Cruz tied the knot twice; the first one was during a civil ceremony in 2018 and the other one was during a church wedding in September 2021. The couple welcomed their firstborn Lana in 2018, and Laura in June 2023.

Speaking about fatherhood in a September 2023 interview, De Vera said, “There are a lot of dad stereotypes that need to change. I want to show a different side of being a father; that’s why I often post about my family.”
