Throughout his decades-long career, Marc Anthony has given countless interviews to different media outlets. Among them, a few have held special meaning for him, like the one recently conducted by none other than Nadia Ferreira. The singer opened up completely in a heartfelt conversation with his wife, who stepped into the role of interviewer for a ViX special dedicated to the salsa icon.
On December 8, ViX Música All Access premiered. The series offers audiences an up-close look at various Latin artists. Marc Anthony headlined the first episode, which was presented by his beautiful wife.
The former beauty queen has already shown her talent as a host at several award shows, and just days ago, she shone as the host of the inaugural Top 100 Latina Powerhouse gala.
“She will guide us on a journey to uncover the lesser-known sides of the singer-songwriter, from his roots to the most important moments of his career. In this exclusive interview, the salsero will also make major revelations and even share some of the most painful experiences he has faced throughout his trajectory,” the platform revealed.
In the images released from the special, Marc and Nadia can be seen looking stunning in matching outfits. The singer wore an olive-green military-style blazer over a white shirt, black pants, and dark sunglasses. The model looked sophisticated in a green ensemble featuring a long-sleeve bodysuit with lapels and a pencil skirt.
The couple radiated chemistry not only through their coordinated looks but also through their gestures and displays of affection captured in their photo session.
Marc Anthony confesses it hurts when people don’t consider him Puerto Rican
Univision’s social media shared a preview of the interview, in which the singer spoke candidly about challenges he has faced in his career. Marc admitted that it is painful when some people don’t consider him Puerto Rican because, although he was born in New York, he has always honored his Boricua roots.
“When you carry the flag within you, not just the identity, being abroad has given me strength and inspiration,” the 57-year-old singer said as Nadia, seated beside him, listened closely.
“I remember leaving New York for the first time on tour, seeing the world, seeing Colombia, seeing Europe, representing Puerto Rico. For me, I couldn’t sleep thinking about the responsibility of representing Puerto Rico. I’ve always been an ambassador of my culture, of Puerto Rico, of our music, our food, and I wouldn’t change my Puerto Rican identity for anything in the world,” Marc added.
“This is going to be controversial. There are many Puerto Ricans who don’t consider me Puerto Rican. And that hurts. And they don’t consider me a salsero. I’ve had to live with that. But I’ve always been clear. And no one in the world can tell me or take away my Puerto Rican identity,” he said proudly.
