Who is Gloria Estefan’s niece?
Gloria Estefan’s niece Lili Estefan relived the heartbreaking moment she learned about her ex husband Lorenzo Lauces’ infidelity on their debut episode of their Facebook Watch series, Red Table Talk. Lili had been married for 18 years to husband Lorenzo when she learned about the existence of paparazzi photos of him, caught in the act.
Lili’s life changed forever after he came clean about the images, after Emilio and Gloria urged him to confess once learning about the photos from Univision. Lili was furious over the earth-shattering revelation. ‘You want to kill him … I’ve always contained myself knowing I’m a public figure,’ Lili recalled.
Painfully, Gloria, her husband Emilio, and Lili’s employer Univision all knew about the pictures before she ever did. An emotional Lili recalled the heartbreak and humiliation of being the last person to find out about the transgression in 2017.
Who was Gloria Estefan’s cousin?
In 1975, Gloria and her cousin Mercedes “Merci” Navarro (1957–2007) met Emilio Estefan, Jr. while performing at a church ensemble rehearsal. Emilio, who had formed the band the Miami Latin Boys earlier that year, learned about Gloria through a mutual acquaintance. While the Miami Latin Boys were performing at a Cuban wedding at the Dupont Plaza Hotel, Gloria and Merci (who were wedding guests) performed two Cuban standards impromptu. They impressed the Miami Latin Boys so much that they were invited to join the band permanently with the band’s name changing to Miami Sound Machine. Gloria, who was attending the University of Miami at the time, only agreed to perform during the weekends so that her studies would not be interrupted.

The song was released at the American iTunes Store, and the video of the performance reached No. 20 of the store’s Top 100 videos.
She also collaborated on a cookbook with her husband entitled Estefan Kitchen, which was published in 2008. It contains 60 traditional Cuban recipes.

In January 1991, Estefan returned to the charts with the concept album Into the Light. That same month, she performed ” Coming Out of the Dark ” for the first time on the American Music Awards to a standing ovation, the performance coming ten months after the accident. Within months after the performance, “Coming Out of the Dark” reached No. 1 in the U.S. as a single. Other notable singles from Into the Light were ” Seal Our Fate ” and ” Live for Loving You “. The album became her highest debut, as it peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard album chart (it also peaked at No. 2 on the British albums chart). The album eventually went platinum in the UK and double platinum in the US.
Estefan has written two children’s books: The Magically Mysterious Adventures of Noelle the Bulldog (2005) and Noelle’s Treasure Tale (2006). The latter book spent a week at No. 3 on the New York Times Bestseller list for children’s books.
Gloria Estefan (née Fajardo García) was born into a middle-class household in Havana, Cuba to parents José Fajardo (1933–1980) and Gloria García (1930–2017). Estefan’s maternal grandparents were Spanish immigrants. Her maternal grandfather, Leonardo García, emigrated to Cuba from Pola de Siero, Asturias, Spain, where he married Gloria’s grandmother, Consuelo Perez, who was originally from Logroño, Spain. Consuelo’s father Pantaleón Perez served as the head chef during the tenure of two Cuban presidents at the Cuban White House. Estefan’s paternal side also had musical sensibilities, as the lineage had a famous flutist and a classical pianist.
