Manuel Mijares, a celebrated figure in Latin music, has opened up about his past relationship with fellow artist Lucero, shedding light on their 2011 separation after 14 years of marriage. The couple, once seen as a fairy-tale pairing, shared two 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and enjoyed a flourishing public life, but rumors of infidelity and discord began to swirl as early as a year after their wedding in 1997.

In a recent video, Mijares reflects on the complexities surrounding their breakup, acknowledging the challenges they faced both privately and publicly. Despite the turmoil, he emphasizes that their separation does not overshadow his musical legacy, which includes hits like “Soñador” and “Bella.” Mijares, who began his career in the 1980s and gained international recognition in Japan, chose to focus on music rather than acting, turning down significant roles to remain true to his passion.

The couple’s romance began during the filming of “Escápate Conmigo” in 1985, leading to a televised wedding that captivated millions. They often appeared as a loving duo, despite facing media scrutiny. Mijares and Lucero welcomed two 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, José Manuel and Lucerito, and managed to maintain a supportive co-parenting relationship post-separation, even collaborating on the reality show “La Voz.”

Though their marriage ended, both artists have publicly expressed respect and care for one another. Lucero frequently shares her affection for Mijares, and their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren have been seen supporting both parents at various events, showcasing a united family front despite the separation.

As Mijares navigates his personal life, he has opted not to remarry, focusing instead on his career and maintaining a low profile. His recent reflections on his past relationship with Lucero highlight a journey marked by love, collaboration, and mutual respect, reinforcing that their bond, while transformed, remains significant.
