Pedro decided to leave Chantel and start living a single life. Recently, Pedro hinted that he was lonely and wanted to be with his family over the holidays but couldn't go to the Dominican Republic, possibly due to high airfare.

Pedro and Chantel were married for over five years, during which he repeatedly refused to have a baby with her, claiming they weren't prepared. However, he has now joyfully welcomed a new member into his Spanish family.

Pedro posted a video of a black cat exploring his apartment, captioned with "black cats are different." The video featured background audio in Spanish of someone saying, "I was born into a Latino family, a family that speaks Spanish," which was presumably from the cat's perspective. Many The Family Chantel viewers agreed with Pedro that black cats are unique and special. One social media , @jenn_eh_, commented, "truth - but they're the best."

What Does Pedro Adopting Cat Mean After Not Having Baby With Chantel?

Pedro Probably Desired Companionship By Choosing To Adopt A Pet

It was inevitable that Pedro would get a pet for himself. After his split from his former wife, Chantel, he likely lived a lonely life, spending most of his time with his co-workers and focusing solely on his job. In 2024, Pedro became increasingly desperate to be around loved ones, prompting him to visit his family in the Dominican Republic and enjoy the trip. With the inability to return to his home country again, it made sense for him to adopt a pet to alleviate his loneliness, especially as he desired to be with his people this Christmas.

It is also predictable that Pedro adopted a cat after stating that he didn’t want to have a child with Chantel. He appears to be a self-centered person and doesn't like investing effort in relationships. He prefers minimal responsibilities and focuses on his personal growth. Pedro likely welcomed a cat into his home because cats are relatively independent animals. They groom themselves and don’t demand much from their owners. Unlike dogs, cats are easier to care for, which might be why The Family Chantel alum decided to bring one into his home.
