At 66, Manuel Mijares Finally Confesses Who the True Love of His Life Is
Manuel Mijares, the celebrated Mexican singer known for his romantic ballads and enduring career in Latin music, has always maintained a relatively private personal life despite being a household name for decades.
However, in a recent interview at the age of 66, Mijares surprised fans and the media alike by revealing who the true love of his life is.
For years, fans speculated about the singer’s love life, particularly after his high-profile marriage to singer Lucero ended in 2011. Their union, often hailed as one of Mexico’s “golden couples,” captured public attention for its fairytale-like beginning and eventual amicable separation.
Despite their divorce, Mijares and Lucero have remained close friends and co-parents, frequently sharing the stage and praising each other in public. But as Mijares revealed, his true love story goes beyond what fans might have assumed.
In the interview, Mijares spoke candidly about the person who holds his heart. “The true love of my life has been there all along, and maybe I didn’t realize it until later,” he admitted.
While many immediately speculated that he might be referring to Lucero, the singer clarified: “It’s not about romantic love in the traditional sense. It’s about someone who has given me unconditional love, support, and meaning in my life—my children.”
Mijares’ heartfelt confession centered around his two children, José Manuel and Lucero, whom he shares with his ex-wife. “They are the reason I strive to be better every day.
Watching them grow, succeed, and find their paths has been the greatest gift I could ever ask for. They are my true loves, the anchors of my life,” he explained.
The singer went on to discuss how fatherhood transformed him, shaping his priorities and redefining his understanding of love. “When you’re younger, you think love is about grand gestures, romance, and passion.
But as you grow older, you realize love is about connection, sacrifice, and being present for the people who matter most,” he reflected.
Mijares’ words resonated with fans, many of whom expressed admiration for his devotion to his family. Some also noted how his revelation aligns with the themes of love and devotion that have defined his music career.
Songs like *El Privilegio de Amar* and *Para Amarnos Más* now carry even deeper meaning in light of his confession.
Though Mijares continues to have a busy professional life, touring and performing with his signature charisma, he emphasized that his greatest joy comes from spending time with his children.
At 66, Manuel Mijares has shown that true love isn’t always found in the spotlight but in the quiet, meaningful moments shared with those closest to us.
His heartfelt admission reminds fans that love comes in many forms, and the bonds of family often endure as the most profound and lasting connections of all.
