Tileh Pacbro explains how growing up without a father shaped him
By Valerian Khakayi, June 18, 2026Popular dancer and content creator Tileh Pacbro has opened up about his upbringing and how it continues to shape the way he approaches fatherhood and success.
Speaking about his personal journey, during an interview on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, Tileh revealed that growing up without a father played a major role in how he now raises his own child.
He said the experience made him intentional about giving his child the love, guidance, and presence he himself missed while growing up.
“I was raised without a father, so the way I raise my kid is by knowing what I would want when I did not have him around, so everything I wanted to get from a father I give him, the only thing I have to be very careful about is not to spoil him,” Tileh said.
Fatherhood
Tileh noted that becoming a father completely changed his perspective on life and responsibility.
According to him, fatherhood comes with no room for excuses or fallback plans, since another person’s future depends entirely on the choices a parent makes.
“Once you become a father, you realise there is no backup plan; being a father means you have to just keep going forward because there is someone’s whole life that depends on you,” he added.
He further reflected on how fatherhood pushed him to work harder and stay focused, saying it became a turning point in his personal growth and career.
“That put me in a situation I can say accelerated my success because I had no option,” Tileh stated.
Tileh on co-parenting
Tileh, who is co-parenting with his ex-girlfriend Martina, earlier said that his main focus is peace of mind and the well-being of his baby.
He explained that every decision he makes is guided by what he feels is best for his child rather than outside opinions.
“I appreciate how knowledgeable you think I am in matters of co-parenting, but yo! I’m finding my way just like everyone else. I just prioritise my peace and the baby’s ACTUAL well-being; that’s how I make my decisions.” Tileh said.
The dancer also explained that after separation, children naturally meet and interact with new people every day and that introducing a new partner should not be treated as an unusual event. He said one person alone would not drastically change the child’s life since many factors come into play.
“Anyways, the baby will meet and interact with new people in their lives every day; one person wouldn’t change much, factors neutral,” he added.
