FORMER Colombia international Edwin Cadona became a dad at just 11 years old, with his daughter now a well-known influencer.
Cadona, 33, picked up 45 caps for the Colombia national side between 2014 and 2021.
He has spent most of his career in South America, but has also played in Mexico’s top flight.
But it has now emerged Cadona has a daughter who turned 21 just over a year ago.
Ana Cadona is a social media star with 61,000 followers on Instagram and recently posed with father Edwin and her family to celebrate her birthday.
The post has led to the revelation that there are just 12 years between Ana and Edwin, with her mother Carolina Castano said to be just 14 at the time of her daughter’s birth.

Ana wrote in the caption: “Thank you God for allowing me to celebrate another year of life, surrounded by the most precious thing I have: my family.
“Thank you, Mom and Dad, for all the values and principles you’ve taught me and for raising me the right way to be the woman I am today.
“Thank you to my siblings for the love you give me every day, to my whole family for always being there, and thank you to everyone for your kind messages.
“I promise this new year will be full of blessings and many new projects and things! God bless us and you! #21.”
According to Colombian outlet Publimetro, Ana has previously responded to questions about the age gap.
She is said to have replied: “Everything is possible in life, so yes, he is my dad.”
Ana often posts lifestyle videos, testing beauty products and reviewing them online.
She also has another 38,000 followers on her TikTok account.
Cadona and Castano also have two other children together, Maria Angel, who is 14, and Emiliano, 11.
The attacking midfielder is still a top level football today and currently plays for Colombian side Atletico Nacional.
He began his career with the club before later moving to Mexican side Monterrey, where he played 91 times, scoring 39 goals.
Cadona also had loan spells with Argentine giants Boca Juniors and turned out for Mexican outfits Tijuana and Pachuca.
