Selena and chris perez

Before her untimely passing in 1995, Selena Quintanilla-Perez was married to the guitarist in her band Chris Perez, who she dated from 1990 to 1992, later eloping in 1992 at a courthouse in Texas. Chris says he still considers Selena his to be his wife to this day. She was murdered only three days prior to their third wedding anniversary at the age of 23.

"When Selena died, I suppressed the memories, I boxed them away in order to cope. When I decided to write the book, I opened the box and put it all out. It was a beautiful process. It was a good thing to revisit and I can’t say I fell in love again because I never stopped loving her." - Chris Perez

Chris Perez on Instagram: “Went to my mom’s today and she showed me a pic that I hadn’t seen before. Here it is…I hope you guys enjoy it. 😊”
