Ribeiro on Having a Mixed Family 

While Ribeiro relishes a blissful family life, he alleges that the black community doesn't accept his interracial family. In an interview with Atlanta Black Star in July 2021, the Bronx native shared he was still struggling to fit into the black society. 

Ribeiro highlighted he had a mixed family with interracial kids and disclosed he got many criticisms and harsh looks. The Silver Spoons actor also mentioned how he would never be white and never be supported in the Black House. 

"So I'm in my own little world with support from almost no one," he added, stating that he was left out for having a relationship with a white person.
