Colombia’s rock solid celebrity couples (photos)

 

The celebrity world can be a fickle place, particularly in matters of the heart. Here we profile five Colombian couples who are bucking the trend and going the distance.

First we have hit Colombian singer Juanes (a clever mix of his first and second names, Juan and Esteban) and his model wife Karen. Much like Prince Wills and Kate, this pair’s four month split early on seems to have only made them stronger, as ten years and three kids after meeting during a Juanes’ music video shoot, they’ve still got it.

Next, the king and queen of daytime TV. Despite always playing the villain in Colombia’s beloved telenovas, Catherine has been good as gold to her television host and actor husband Miguel. Married since 1997, this couple are the golden oldies of our list and something for all celebrity couples embarking on their journey to aspire to (perhaps the key is not having any kids).

From old-timers to the young and young at heart, next we have Colombian babe Jessica Cediel and her teenage singing beau Pipe. With a ten-year age gap, and meeting when Pipe was just 18, this couple had the odds stacked against them. But having just celebrated their one-year anniversary (a teenage lifetime remember) this couple have proved their staying power.

Another match made in telenova heaven, and another one for the ladies, is that of daytime TV stars Kathy and her toyboy Sebastian. The happily-married pair have three kids, whom the former Miss Colombia and her singing star husband call their “greatest success”. Awww.

Stealing the title of Colombia’s hottest couple, we finish with model/ presenter Cristina and her singing boyfriend Josse. After meeting on Colombian reality TV series “Novela Stars” (“Protagonistas de Novela”) — which pitched hopefuls against each other to become the next big telenovela name — Cristina and Josse made their romance real by having a baby together after the show. With their little girl now five years old, this couple are going from strength to strength.
