Luisana sat her daughter on her knee and encouraged her to wave to online fans before Michael started singing pop hit ‘I love it when you call me señorita’ but let Vida finish the chorus.
The Canadian then reverted to English, jumping up and getting his daughter to join in a “workout warm-up” to 1993 dance hit “I like to Move It” before suggesting he and his wife start their morning exercise with stomach and glute-toning planks.
The couple looked happy and relaxed at all times.
The latest: Michael and Luisana were targeted in ‘a failed effort of cyber bullying’ by people after footage appeared to show him roughly elbowing her in an Instagram Live, his rep told E!
Response: In an impassioned statement to her Instagram followers on Sunday, the Chiquititas actress, 32, thanked fans for their concern yet was quick to defend her nine-year-marriage – saying she would choose her husband a ‘thousand times over’
Argentinian media claimed it was the first time they had let their daughter star on their social media, although Michael shared a rare snap of Vida earlier this month as she played with her tea cup set on his Instagram page.
In November last year. he introduced the youngster to his audience during a performance in Amsterdam.
He interrupted his show to sit on the stage with her for a few minutes and try to have a conversation with his microphone in front of her before handing their daughter back to her mum.
Last week’s elbow video and the abuse claims it led to have been described as ‘ridiculous’ by a spokesman for Buble who insisted: ‘All everyone needs to do is see them on together on Facebook Live every day.
‘They are equal and loving partners and treat each other with the greatest respect. They are a beautiful couple.’
Angry: The mother-of-three, who shares five-year-old Noah, Elias, three, and Vida, seven months with her husband, became frustrated by comments urging her to leave Michael
‘It’s not fair! This person is doing harm and taking advantage of this pandemic where people are suffering, dying to have fame and more followers,’ she wrote on Instagram of a Twitter user, who shared the video of Buble yanking Lopilato and throwing his arms around her
Perfect match: Michael and Luisiana first met back in 2009, when Lopilato played Buble’s love interest for his single Haven’t Met You Yet.
