Elian Gonzalez was once a young Cuban boy whose custody case sparked diplomatic tensions and attracted intense media coverage.
Now, CNN reports Gonzalez marked Father's Day by announcing on Facebook he will soon be a father himself.
Gonzalez went to live with relatives in Miami who refused to return him to his father in Cuba.
The case stoked Cold War-era tensions between the US and Cuba as Gonzalez's father and the Miami relatives battled in US court for custody.
