The proud dad shared photos of his son, captioning them with warm birthday wishes: “Happy birthday 🎉🎂🎁 handsome son ❤️ love you ❤️. Emicrack 👑.”

Yesterday, Arturo’s youngest, Emiliano, turned eight years old.

Vidal is also father to his eldest, 16-year-old son Alonso, and his daughter Elisabetta, who is now 11. All of the Chilean’s children were born to his former wife, Maria Teresa Matus. He is currently in a six-year relationship with Sonia Isaza.

Let’s recall that since January 2024, Vidal has been playing for Chilean powerhouse Colo-Colo. This season, the team endured a disappointing Copa Libertadores campaign, losing their chances to advance past the group stage prematurely.

It’s worth noting that just two days ago, Colo-Colo clinched their first win in a month, undoubtedly lifting Vidal’s spirits ahead of his son’s birthday.
