Jay Wheeler had a full-circle moment when he partnered with McDonald's to promote the Grandma McFlurry. Not only is he a self-proclaimed "abuela's boy," he also remembers going to McDonald's to celebrate major moments as a child.
"When you're a child, you have rewards when you do good things or when they want to take you to a fun place, and for me, that place was always McDonald's," he told DreamDive exclusively.
His go-to order? Chicken nuggets, fries, and the Oreos McFlurry.
Well, Jay deserves some McDonald's because along with celebrating the release of his latest album, Música Buena Para Días Malas, the Puerto Rican singer is also preparing to go on tour! In an interview with DreamDive, Jay opened up about his dream musical collaboration, his most memorable fan interaction, and his love for his wife.
