Chris Perez Met His First Wife Selena In 1989
Chris and Selena Quintanilla met for the first time in 1989 when the guitarist wrote the singer's coca cola commercial jingle.
From the beginning, he was attracted to the Tejano singer, and it took him only a vacation trip after the commercial to realize his affection towards her. However, he tried to maintain a distance from the lady since he already had a girlfriend.
It happened when the band Selena y Los Dinos was looking for a new guitarist and hired Chris.
Despite trying to keep himself away, Perez got closer to Quintanilla after making music and spending time together in the band.
The couple started dating around 1990 to 1991 but kept their romance hidden from the public and Selena's father, Abraham. Abraham looked after the band and was very cautious of any hurdles that might come his daughter's way to success.
So, the two kept their love lowkey from Selena's father before the man exposed the truth after finding the two sitting together on a bus. Abraham then fired Perez from the music group after the latter did not obey the command to stay away from Selena.
However, Chris and Selena were deep in love and could not stay away from each other. On April 2, 1992, Selena entered Chris' hotel room and convinced him to marry her since her father would only agree to them together if they got married.
The couple eloped in Nueces County, Texas, and stayed a low-key life for some time. They tied the knot secretly during their elopement and became husband and wife.
Abraham, feeling their emphatic love for each other and his love for his daughter, accepted their union and asked them to return to their usual lives playing for the band.
Everything went all right for the two, and the couple enjoyed around three years of married life in which they made progress in both their professional and personal lives. However, things ended rather quickly.

Chris Perez was born to his parents Carmen Medina and Gilbert Perez on August 14, 1969, in San Antonio, Texas.
His father, Gilbert, worked as a computer engineer while his mother was busy taking care of the family. Her professional and academic background is unexplored.
Born in an American-Mexican family, he had a good upbringing until their parents divorced in 1974. He was only four years old at the time. Four years later, his mom remarried.
He grew up in the care of his father and mother, who often supported him on his musical steps and encouraged him to join the school's concert band.
However, Carmen was unhappy when the man decided to learn electric guitar due to the negative stereotypes toward rock and punk music at the time.
While Chris spent his teenage years in a shared apartment with his dad, his opportunity eventually came calling when Tony Lares asked him to join Shelly Lares' band in 1986.
