América Hoy’ Hosts Tear Up After Surprise Messages From Their Children on Mother’s Day

The tribute turned a light studio game into a rare on‑air look at two presenters’ private family ties.

Overview

  • Producers on the Peruvian morning show América Hoy set up a Mother’s Day segment with gift boxes and then played prerecorded video tributes for hosts Rebeca Escribens and Janet Barboza.
  • Escribens watched a message from her eldest son, Diego, recorded from abroad, then said she became a mother at 16 and credited him with shaping who she is.
  • Barboza received a video from her daughter, Antonella, and called her “my motor and motive” while praising her independence and character.
  • Both presenters said their children usually avoid cameras, which made the brief on‑air appearances feel especially personal.
  • Trome, La República, and El Comercio covered the moment in similar terms, with La República alone adding that Diego lives overseas and works as an architect.
