Eric Winter, known for his role in *The Rookie*, and his wife Roselyn Sánchez, star of *Devious Maids*, are embracing the joys of parenthood while raising their two children, Sebella and Dylan, with a strong emphasis on bilingualism and cultural heritage. The couple, who married in November 2008, have been open about their family journey, which includes the challenges of infertility and the joys of parenting.

The couple welcomed their daughter, Sebella Rose Winter, on 4 January 2012. Following her birth, Sánchez took to social media, expressing their overwhelming joy at becoming parents for the first time. “Welcome to the world beautiful Sebella Rose Winter! Mami and Daddy adore you!” the new parents shared. The couple’s happiness was palpable, as they received countless well-wishes from friends and family.

Sánchez has often remarked on her daughter’s resemblance to both parents. “Everybody thinks that she looks like my husband,” she noted at a Pampers event in 2014. Nonetheless, she has also seen her own childhood features reflected in her daughter. As Sebella matured, Sánchez has nurtured her interests, particularly in dance and, more recently, tennis.
In September 2017, the couple published a children’s book titled *Sebi and the Land of Cha Cha Cha*, aimed at celebrating their Puerto Rican culture while promoting bilingualism. The book was inspired by Sánchez’s desire to create entertaining and educational materials that resonate with Latin rhythms. “We realised that there were no bilingual books catered to Latin rhythms,” she explained, highlighting her commitment to passing on cultural knowledge.
Sebella’s current passion lies in tennis, a pursuit she actively documents on her Instagram account, where she has gained over 40,000 followers. Recently, she joined the Yonex tennis team, a milestone celebrated by her parents who continue to support her athletic aspirations. “So proud to be joining the @yonex_tennis team,” she wrote, acknowledging her determination despite past injuries.
In contrast, the couple’s son, Dylan Gabriel Winter, was born on 3 November 2017, marking another significant chapter in their family life. Sánchez, who was 44 at the time, has openly discussed the challenges she faced during her second pregnancy and her gratitude for the opportunity to have another child. “I’m thankful for the fact that I’m able to be a mom again at my age,” she remarked, reflecting on the difficulties they overcame to become parents once more.
The couple has frequently captured moments from their family life, sharing both triumphs and daily experiences on social media. After Dylan’s birth, Sánchez expressed her profound happiness, stating, “After many years of dreaming about you, you came into our lives in perfect condition! Your sister Sebella Rose looks at you with indescribable tenderness.” Their pride in their children is evident, with Sánchez often posting about their adventures together.
Though the couple initially had differing opinions on naming their son, they ultimately chose a name that, while not distinctly Latin, fits comfortably within their family’s multicultural context. “We want him to be bilingual like Sebella,” Sánchez stated, reaffirming their commitment to raising their children within their Puerto Rican culture.
As Dylan grows, he too is exposed to various aspects of his heritage. Sánchez recently shared their first mother-son trip to Puerto Rico, highlighting the importance of cultural connection. “With my love, my heart and soul… DYLIBOO! Mommy and son trip to 🇵🇷 to receive 2026!!” she joyfully captioned one of her posts, reflecting the excitement of sharing their culture with her son.
With their active engagement in their children’s lives, Winter and Sánchez exemplify a modern family that cherishes both cultural roots and the importance of bilingualism. Their journey underscores the challenges and rewards of parenthood, showcasing the deep commitment they share not only to each other but also to their children’s futures.
