He was in a relationship with Carey Salley, a Wilhelmina model, until they broke up in 1986. They have a son, Taylor Levi Estevez (born June 22, 1984), and a daughter, Paloma Rae Estevez (born February 15, 1986).
One thing he had not intended was to make his mark as a father. But in 1984, when he was 22, his then girlfriend, model Carey Salley, gave birth to their son Taylor. “I was still a kid,” says Estevez. “It was tough to assume that responsibility.” Two years later they had a daughter, Paloma, but soon afterward the relationship fell apart. Although the kids live with Salley, Estevez remains, he says, extremely involved, calling the children “the light of my life.”
