Meet Vicente Fernandez’s Children: Alejandro Fernández, Vicente Fernández Jr., Alejandra Fernandez and Gerardo Fernandez.

Vicente Fernández Gómez was a renowned Mexican mariachi singer, actor, and film producer.

Affectionately known as “Chente,” “El Charro de Huentitán” (The Charro from Huentitán), “El Ídolo de México” (The Idol of Mexico), and “El Rey de la Música Ranchera” (The King of Ranchera Music), he began his career as a street performer before rising to become a cultural icon.

Fernández recorded over 100 albums and participated in over 30 films throughout his illustrious career.

His repertoire primarily featured ranchers and traditional Mexican classics such as waltzes, solidifying his legacy in Latin American music.

Vicente Fernández was married to María del Refugio Abarca Villaseñor, known as “Cuquita.” They wed on December 27, 1963, and had four children: Vicente Jr., Alejandro, Gerardo, and their adopted daughter, Alejandra.

Their nearly 58-year marriage endured despite rumors of infidelity, with Cuquita remaining a steadfast presence in his life. They stayed together until Fernández’s passing on December 12, 2021.

He is currently married to Mariana González Padilla, a social media personality and businesswoman often referred to as the “Mexican Kim Kardashian.”

The couple met through Instagram in 2020 and married in November 2023 after dating for three years. Their relationship has drawn attention due to their 19-year age gap, with Vicente being 60 as of 2024.

Before his marriage to Mariana, Vicente Jr. was married three times—to Sissi Penichet, Mara Patricia Castañeda, and Karina Ortegón. He has four children from these relationships.
