Christian Nodal, 25, and Ángela Aguilar, 20, have confirmed their relationship in two separate statements: the former via a news outlet on Monday (June 10) and the latter via an Instagram video on Tuesday (June 11).
“It is not a new relationship; it’s the continuation of a story that life made us pause so we could grow and miss each other,” Aguilar said to HOLA! , which also released the couple’s first photos together, further confirming their romance. “Because when we let go, we returned even closer.”
The surprising news comes two and a half weeks after the Regional Mexican singer and Argentine trap star Cazzu (real name: Julieta Cazzucheli) announced their breakup. The former couple first went public in November 2022 during the Latin Grammys and had their first baby together the following year.
“First of all, Julieta is a person I love and who has my respect for life. We are public figures, we are artists, but we are not masters at life,” Nodal expressed in a video statement after the news circulated. “Love doesn’t always work. Our cycle together ended in the best possible way. It was a love that gave us the most precious gift that could have come to us in life, the most beautiful thing we could have done together, which is Inti, my daughter, who I will always love, who I will always take care of. And in that relationship there will never be a third party, there was never any infidelity.”
Despite being the newest couple in Latin music, Nodal and Aguilar first established a relationship over five years ago. See the complete timeline below:

Nov. 2020: The First Collaboration
In the midst of the global pandemic, Nodal and Aguilar unleashed their first-ever collaborative effort, “Dime Cómo Quieres.” The fresh and flirty ranchera, penned by Nodal and Edgar Barrera, finds Nodal head over heels for Aguilar — who, in return, isn’t impressed by his kind gestures. After all, she’s not the type of girl who easily falls for a guy, she sings. While the two are seen together in the playful music video, they each recorded their own part separately using a green screen.
“I couldn’t stop laughing while recording my part,” Aguilar previously told Billboard. “When you record a duet well you have that human interaction and a lot of your facial expressions are a reaction to what the other person is doing. But here, I was singing to a green screen and a guy from our production team who pretended to be Nodal.”
“Dime Cómo Quieres” reached No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart in Jan. 2021, making a then-17-year-old Aguilar the youngest female act on a lead role to achieve the feat. She concurrently earned her first No. 1 on any Latin airplay chart while Nodal captured his 10th on Latin Airplay.
