The last update posted on the GoFundMe page on October 17 read: “Jesús remains in the ICU, with a guarded prognosis. He is currently on dialysis, as his kidneys are not yet responding as we hoped. He recently underwent surgery to stabilize his leg, but we still need to move forward with a delicate chest operation, which is necessary for his recovery.”

Their daughter, named Loren Alejandra, was reportedly born in 2014. Their next child, a son named Jesús Alejandro, was born in December 2025 in Venezuela. In his 2015 interviews (while playing for the Seattle Mariners), Montero often mentioned how becoming a father (to his daughter) had changed him.

In a July 2015 report by Bob Dutton of the News Tribune, he told reporters at a press interaction that becoming a father (then to his daughter) has changed him made him want to work hard. He was playing for the Mariners then.

"I want to keep working hard to get back here," he said. "I just think about my daughter. And I do good things. I don't know what's going to happen in the future."
