“Dancing With the Stars” finalist Cristián de la Fuente is keeping a secret from his wife – he lets their dog, Napoleon, sleep in bed with him when wife Angelica Castro is gone.
“He loves to sleep in the bed with me, and my wife doesn’t want him, so every time my wife is not home, we sleep together,” de la Fuente told OK! Magazine. “If not, he has his own bed on my side of our bed. But whenever my wife is not home, we’ll sleep together. We don’t tell her. The good thing is, he doesn’t talk.”
The star of “In Plain Sight” on USA, who finished third on “DWTS,” says caring for Napoleon prepared him for fatherhood.
“He was my first child,” he says. “I didn’t know what it was like to have a child until I had my daughter [Laura, now 3], but he was the first relationship that I had where I had to take care of him, feed him, and give him everything because they can’t survive without you. It’s a great feeling. It’s my little boy.”
