So, what happened to Pérez’s second wife? Everything we know about her is included below.

Selena Quintanilla, Chris Pérez’s first wife

From April 2, 1992, to March 1995, Pérez was married to Spanish singer Selena Quintanilla.

Pérez met Selena in 1989 when he was hired as the new guitarist for Selena’s band, Selena y Los Dinos. He rapidly became an important member of the band, and he became close to Selena as a result.

On April 2, 1992, the pair eloped after dating for over two years. Selena’s parents were supposedly against their relationship at first, so they had to flee and marry in secret.

Selena was murdered by her manager Yolanda Saldvar on March 31, 1995, putting an end to their lovely love tale.
In 2017, he described how it felt to meet his late wife for the first time.

I’m a shy person by nature, and there was just something about her that she was able to pull me out.
