A love like no other: Luis Miguel and Paloma Cuevas

Despite being one of the world's biggest stars, Luis Miguel lives a life far removed from the paparazzi's lenses, and it is rare to spot him anywhere outside the concert stage. Photos of him with Paloma Cuevas are just as scarce, as the couple keeps their relationship strictly out of the public eye. The singer and daughter of Victoriano Valencia began dating in 2022. Though they have known each other since childhood due to a close family friendship, their romance quietly grew over time, built on a foundation of years of closeness and trust.

In fact, it was just a month ago that the two were seen celebrating the Mexican star’s 56th birthday, as he blew out the candles on April 19th. Luis Miguel planned a romantic getaway with Paloma Cuevas to none other than the City of Light. The record-breaking artist and his inseparable partner, with whom he is about to celebrate their fourth anniversary, headed to Paris for what promised to be an unforgettable weekend. And judging by their itinerary in the French capital, it certainly was.

Our sister brand in Spain, ¡HOLA!, exclusively published photos of their latest high-profile date in one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, but the two are often spotted in other settings as they continue to strengthen their bond. Whenever their packed schedules allow, the couple loves making plans in Madrid with their closest friends. In fact, this magazine also caught them on a double date in the capital a few months ago, enjoying dinner with Borja Thyssen and Blanca Cuesta. The four shared a delightful evening at Ramón Freixa, one of the city's culinary hotspots. It is a two-Michelin-star restaurant where every single detail is meticulously curated, from the lighting and service to the exquisite cuisine.
