Pepe Aguilar and his children, Ángela and Leonardo, presented their “Jaripeo Sin Fronteras” tour dates in a press conference held on Jan. 10, 2018, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. They also revealed that they will be hitting the road with a then-newcomer Christian Nodal, who was also present at the media event.

In the fall of that same year, Nodal and Aguilar were the artists invited for the Latin Music Gallery ribbon-cutting at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles. They were joined by the president of the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, Gabriel Abaroa; president of The GRAMMY Museum, Michael Sticka; and renowned journalist Giselle Fernandez, among others.

The pair later reunited at the 2022 Premio Lo Nuestro awards, where they performed a heartfelt tribute to the late Vicente Fernandez. They shared center stage at the FTX Arena with Regional Mexican and pop acts including Eduin Caz (of Grupo Firme), Camilo, David Bisbal and AB Luna.

Three years after dropping their ranchera hit, Águilar and Nodal performed it live for the first time during one of Nodal’s sold-out concerts at the Foro Sol in Mexico City, where more than 60,000 observed their on-stage chemistry.

On May 23, Nodal publicly announced his break up from Cazzu, whom he dated for almost two years and had his first baby with. That same month, rumors began circulating on social media that he had an affair with Águilar. In the midst of the controversy, Águilar was the surprise guest at Nodal’s “Pa’l Cora Tour” stop in Monterrey, just two days after the split.

Following the couple’s official declarations, Nodal and Águilar kissed publicly for the first time during Nodal’s concert at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City. Aguilar was his surprise guest, and together they performed Pepe Aguilar’s “Por Mujeres Como Tu,” followed by their collaboration “DIme Como Quieres.” In the middle of the song, Aguilar proudly shouted “you’re my boyfriend!” and they finished off the performance with a big kiss on the lips.

Amid the trending news, Cazzu — mother of Nodal’s infant daughter Inti — broke her silence and posted a statement online.

“I feel the need to let you know that I AM OK, going through it in the best way possible,” she said in part on her Instagram Stories. “I choose to step away from social media for a while to detox and focus on my baby, who is my priority, and on my work while everything calms down out there. Life is not totally beautiful or totally horrible, nor are people completely 100% good or bad, there are always grays and shades but the important thing is to breathe and resist with love the necessary processes and learn. Thank you for the concern of so many. Now let’s turn the page, let’s live and let live.”

The Mexican music stars tied the knot in a private ceremony at a ranch in Morelos, Mexico, just nearly two months after announcing they were a couple. Photos of the intimate wedding circulated the internet, showing Aguilar wearing a long, embroidered dress and walking down the aisle with her father, Pepe Aguilar. Sources confirmed to Billboard that the couple indeed got married.

In an interview with Argentine press, Cazzu spoke up about how she learned of Christian Nodal and Ángela Aguilar’s relationship. “Like everyone else did, through the same media and press,” she said.

Although Aguilar mentioned just a few weeks ago that “no one’s heart got broken,” Cazzu said it was the contrary. “I suffered a lot and more than one broken heart. It was a painful process,” The Nena Trampa hitmaker said. “The only one authorized to talk about my emotional situation is me. Don’t lie about me, don’t talk about my feelings. Don’t talk about me anymore, please.”

Just six months after getting married, Nodal and Ángela made red carpet debut as a couple at the 25th Annual Latin Grammy Awards that took place Nov. 14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami. At the carpet, the newlyweds even posed with other Latin power couple Marc Anthony and his wife Paraguayan model Nadia Ferreira. Both Nodal and Ángela were nominated that year, including Ángela’s Bolero for the coveted album of the year.

Christian Nodal opened up about his break up with Cazzu and relationship with Ángela Aguilar in an exclusive interview with Mexican journalist Adela Micha posted on Aug. 13. In the two-hour-long conversation, the Mexican singer-songwriter admitted that he had no idea he was going to fall in love the same month that he ended his relationship—insisting that there was no infidelity.

Nodal got into specific details with dates, saying that he and Cazzu had broken up six times before officially sending out a press statement on May 8, 2024: “There were no fights, no yelling. Just the end of the magic. We were like roommates, friends, but no longer a couple.” Shortly after his public breakup, he confirmed his relationship with Aguilar, and 20 days later, on May 29, they were tying the knot in Italy. “Nothing was planned,” he recalled, assuring his interviewer that the 21-year-old artist is “the one. She’s the love of my life. I want to grow old with her.”

During the interview, he also talked about his co-parenting situation with Cazzu, and even offered a public apology. Watch it below.
