Marcos's mother Liza recounted her son's "first love", a Russian, and that Liza did not like Marcos's girlfriend for her not being able to speak English clearly and not knowing how to say "please" and "thank you".[2] Marcos also likes to skateboard and play the guitar and said that he is just a "normal guy".[13]
