Lucero Hogaza León, known as “America’s Sweetheart,” has been an iconic figure in music, film, and television for decades. At 55, she continues to captivate her fans not only with her talent and charisma, but also with the stories she has decided to share about her personal life, particularly the loves that marked her heart.

A Brilliant Career Since Childhood

Born on August 29, 1969 in Mexico City, Lucero showed her talent from a very young age. At the age of 10, she made her debut on the children’s program Alegrías de mediodía, but it was in 1982, with the soap opera Chispita, when her career really took off.

This initial success led her to star in other unforgettable productions such as Lazos de amor, Soy tu dueña and Alborada, consolidating her position as one of the most beloved actresses in Latin America.

At the same time, Lucero ventured into the world of music, releasing her first album Te Prometo in 1982. Since then, she has released more than 20 albums in genres ranging from pop and ballads to ranchera and banda music. Songs such as Electricidad and Veleta became classics of Latin music, cementing her place as one of the most versatile and recognized singers in the region.

Lucero also shined as a presenter at prestigious events such as the Latin Grammys and television shows. Her professionalism, charisma and connection with the audience have been key to staying relevant in an ever-changing world of entertainment.

Loves that left a mark

Although her career has been widely documented, Lucero has kept aspects of her love life under wraps until recently. In a recent interview with Jordi Rosado, the singer revealed details of her special relationship with Luis Miguel during the filming of Fiebre de amor in the 1980s. Although they never formalized a relationship, Lucero confessed that there was a special connection between the two.

“We loved each other very much, but I understood that falling in love with him meant suffering because our lives were going in different directions,” Lucero explained. Even though their relationship remained a youthful memory, it marked an important chapter in her life.

Later, Lucero had a brief romance with actor Guillermo Capetillo, whom she admired since she was a child. Their relationship, although fleeting, was very significant. The singer recalled how she fulfilled her childhood dream of being with him, but the demands of their careers led them to separate after eight months together.

Another memorable chapter in her love life was her relationship with Chilean presenter Felipe Camiroaga. Lucero fondly recalled special moments shared in Chile, especially an afternoon when they talked about the future in front of a sunset. Although her story with Camiroaga was also brief, it left an indelible mark on her memory, especially after the presenter’s tragic death.

Marriage with Manuel Mijares and the Future of their Relationship

One of Lucero’s most significant loves was with singer Manuel Mijares, to whom she was married from 1997 to 2011. Together they had two children, Lucerito and José Manuel, and although their marriage ended, both have managed to maintain a friendly and professional relationship.

In recent interviews, Lucero has shared how her children are not interested in their parents resuming their romantic relationship. “They always tell me, ‘No, Mom, don’t do it,’ and it makes me laugh how they defend that idea,” she said with a laugh. Despite this, Lucero and Mijares continue to collaborate together on concerts and events, showing that their friendship and mutual respect are fundamental pillars of their bond.

A Private Relationship with Michel Kuri

Following her split from Mijares, Lucero began a relationship with businessman Michel Kuri in 2012. Although the two kept their romance out of the public eye, Lucero described how their initial connection came about through her admiration for the way Kuri spoke about her children. For years, their relationship remained strong, but they eventually went their separate ways in 2024.

A Legacy of Love and Authenticity

Lucero has shown that behind the star there is a woman with genuine emotions and an admirable ability to balance her professional and personal life. Her sincerity when talking about her past loves has further strengthened the connection with her followers, who see in her not only a public figure, but a human being who, like everyone, has lived moments of love, heartbreak and reflection.

Today, Lucero remains a symbol of reinvention, perseverance and authenticity, making it clear that her story, both professionally and personally, continues to inspire many generations.
