Selena and Chris Perez's relationship

The duo got into a relationship soon after he joined the band. Selena's dad wasn't a fan of Chris and in an attempt to keep the band's image clean-cut and professional, he insisted they break up, otherwise the brand would break up. Her father ended up firing Chris, but they got secretly married in April 1992. He was later accepted back into the band. After Selena's murder, he formed the Chris Perez Band, which later broke up in 2002. Next, he joined A.B.'s band Kumbia Kings the same year, and then Kumbia All Starz later in 2006.
