Chris Perez reflects on his life with, without Selena, and her legacy 25 years later

In the past 25 years, Chris Perez says he has grown a lot.

I said it once I'll say it again, that's going to be ONE HECK OF A REUNION for him and Selena when GOD calls him home ❣️

[shannoncollier]

It’s so wrong that he’s not being included in the series. Selena loved Chris and he was a huge part of her life.

[malakib]

Very touching interview. Chris is such a nice person much like Selena. Wishing him the best in life. Much respect.

You can just tell by the look in his eyes, he will never love anyone the way he still loves her ❤️

[BabyLogarius]

We're still dreaming of you, Selena. Forever

[katiewalsh]

I find it offensive to Chris that they didnt include her married name on her Hollywood star, yes she was as Selena Quintanilla but she became Selena Quintanilla-Perez once her and Chris married

[animalgirl]

How & why does her father continue to hurt the person that made Selena the happiest? I honestly don't understand it.

[lisafejerang]

God must really love Chris for giving him Selena

[butterflyfam]

Didn't even know he had gotten remarried but then divorced! Apparently, he never truly got over Selena, which led to his divorce. Can't blame him. Selena was beautiful and they were so in love. And it's different when you lose a spouse to death rather than divorce.. death comes unexpectedly, so I can see why he never got over Selena.

Story still shocks me to this day. she absolutely had everything going for her and that sickening woman took it all away and she's up for parole 2025. How could they possibly ever let that thing out?!

[jeffreyknight]

This man is true to his words. Keeping his beautiful wife's legacy going. Thank you CHRIS for stepping up. GOD BLESS YOU.

[DrewMIATL]

I can’t imagine the pain he must’ve felt. I would’ve been head over heels madly in love with Selena if it were me.

[schawnettarobinson]

She was so talented and beautiful.

No one can compete.

I think the law should give Chris a pass where he gets to punch the lady who killed Selena as hard as he can on camera. Come on are you with me.

[ziggymorris]

Not too long ago Chris attended a ceremony where they dedicated a life-like statue to Selena. Standing next to it on a stage you could tell he was uncomfortable, not even wanting to look at it.

All these years it still hurts him that much, you felt bad for him.

[scottgh]

Selena was the kind of woman that you meet maybe once in life and never again. He made the right decision. Some people come into your life and raise your game, make you a better person by their presence.

[Itsadam]

Instead of 25 years until her death it would’ve been 25 years of them being together

[rosstrovato]

Over a quarter of a century after her passing, and Selena's fan base continues to grow at an incredible rate, which is nearly unheard of in the world of music. The public can be very fickle with regard to who's popular from year to year, but it's obvious that Selena was very special, both professionally and personally. She stands out as one of a relatively - small number of artists in musical history who truly deserve to be called legends.

[sailorsaturn]

Selena had no will because she was only 23. Two months after her death her family pressured Chris to sign the rights to her estate over to her father. Chris was grieving over his wife for not even that long. He didn’t have the strength to fight. He knew it was not what Selena would want so he signed it over to her dad.

My ex boyfriend dies in a car accident and I know that he would want me to get on with my life without him but it's hard to do some amazing things in my life without him
