Maintaining a long-lasting and loving relationship in the music industry is not an easy task. Just recently, Christian Nodal and Cazzu — one of Latin music’s most beloved couples — called it quits recently after a nearly two-year relationship, and after having their first child in 2023.
The unexpected split was confirmed on their social media accounts on May 23, in a since-deleted Instagram story that read: “The time has come to share that Julieta and I are going our separate ways. Our love and respect for each other remains strong, especially in our role as parents to our wonderful daughter, Inti.”
Cazzu additionally shared in her stories: “We artists are a screen of what happens in real life. You go through love, heartbreak, successes and mistakes with us. Today, as it was many times and as there are still many, you accompany us, some with hate and others with much love. Thank you, everything heals.”
Meanwhile, Sebastian Yatra and Aitana continue hinting that their relationship goes beyond something professional.
“This is already the third song I have done with Sebastián,” Aitana told Billboard exclusively about their latest collab “Akureyi.” “We seem to understand each other very well in the studio. We’ve understood each other very well for a long time, so having that complicity with someone inside a studio is hard to find, having that companionship that allows you to go inside the studio and a very beautiful song comes out again and again.”
The song, which came out on April 26, was conceived during a trip that Aitana and Yatra took to Akureyri, a town in Iceland, to celebrate Aitana’s birthday on June 27, 2023 — further showcasing their undeniable chemistry.
But in the midst of possible relationships and breakups, here’s a list of power couples still going strong in the Latin music realm.
