Karen Strassberg, one of the women he has impregnated called him up and asked him if he wants to see his son. He met his son Jake when he was only 6 years old. Rubino agreed but Strassberg did not tell Jake that he was meeting his real father. But they had an instant connection according to the Inquisitr.

Rubino is trying to connect with his other children. He keeps a painting of each one of them in his home. The Internet means so much to him as his children connect to him via e-mail. One day, he received an email from a teenage girl from Denver telling him that if he is Donor 929, then he is her father.
Wendy Kramer, founder of the Donor Sibling Registry ,described Rubino as an ideal donor that every woman dreams to have.
His good looks was inherited by his son Jake who was equally good-looking. Mike Rubino said that only two pictures of his children were missing from his collection. Mike Rubino is fortunate that he is living life with one of his children.
