The couple married in 2008, and since then they have started a family and created a beautiful professional project together. Dance schools, documentaries and songs produced and created by both are some of the works that the artists share.
They show their great love whenever they can. In fact, the couple repeated their wedding in 2021 to celebrate their love in the same place where they walked down the aisle for the first time, Las Vegas. “As I told you, skipping the priest’s vows, I hope that eternity catches us together and not because we signed a paper or because we have two beautiful children but because we continue to look at each other like that,” Beatriz shared of that special moment.
According to Beatriz, although her parents wanted their daughter to have a partner with a “fixed schedule” and not a rapper, they accepted the artist with great affection. The actress herself shared a post from the first day they met, which she accompanied with some nice words about the actor: “I met him when I was 18 when I still didn’t know if I wanted a piercing or some Californian highlights, and I already knew I wanted it.” to him unconditionally. It was a mixture of hormones, intuition, ants in my stomach and my pillow that told me that I was not wrong.
Yotuel, father of three children
Before being with the dancer, Yotuel had already become the father of ‘Yotuelito’, the result of a previous relationship when he was very young. But it was in 2015, when the Cuban took the step of having children with Beatriz, and they formed what is now a great family.
The first common offspring is D’Angelo, who from a very young age showed that the blood of an artist ran through his veins. Five years later, precisely during the Covid pandemic, Zoe, the little one of the house, was born.
While the couple’s first child is affectionately called Didi, the name of the second child was chosen in honor of Yotuel’s mother, who has since died. The entire family currently lives in Miami, enjoying their personal and professional lives.
Children have become Yotuel and Beatriz’s biggest occupation, and despite the musical success of both, their priorities are the little ones. I have a goal as a mother and I want to achieve it. And I have another one as an artist, that too. So that’s where I handle myself,” Beatriz said publicly after having Zoe.
But it seems that D’Angelo and Zoe will not be the only children who will occupy Yotuel’s heart. As Beatriz Luengo has commented on some occasion, another could be on the way: “I have the hope of adoption. As a woman, I have always had the desire to give lives and save lives. Since I was a teenager I knew that it would take time to have children “.
