Eduardo Capetillo and Bibi Gaytán are one of the most solid couples in the entertainment world. With more than 25 years of marriage and 5 children together, this family has become a role model and an inspiration for many people.
However, not everything is rosy. Like all couples, Eduardo and Bibi have had ups and downs worth remembering. Join us to see the story of these lovebirds and learn the most important facts about their relationship.
Before the relationship
Eduardo Capetillo and Bibi Gaytán have very different origins. Eduardo is part of the Capetillo family, known in Mexico for being traditional bullfighters. It is safe to say that Eduardo comes from a famous family.
Bibi, on the other hand, comes from a simpler family. She was born in the state of Chiapas, and her parents were an architect and a ballet teacher. Of course, from an early age they both had very similar interests in acting and music.
Timbiriche
In 1988, while visiting Mexico City, Bibi decided to audition to be part of Timbiriche. The famous pop band at the time was made up only of young people. Gaytán won over the jury in the audition and from that moment on she was part of the group.
It was in Timbiriche that Gaytán met Eduardo Capetillo. This actor and singer was part of the band from 1985 to 1989. Thanks to this, Bibi was able to share a few months of friendship with Eduardo before he left the group.
It wasn’t love at first sight
Being in Timbiriche, between Gaytán and Capetillo there was nothing more than a beautiful friendship. This was not only due to the fact that Eduardo shared with Bibi only a few months in the group. The truth is that by that time both had other sentimental interests.
Eduardo had been previously linked to several of his bandmates. It was also known that Bibí started dating Diego Schoening and later rumors of a possible relationship with Bertin Osborne arose.
Dance with me
In 1991 Bibí left music and the band Timbiriche to venture into the world of acting. By 1992 she got her first leading role in a children’s soap opera called Baila conmigo.
It is in this novela where she reunites with Eduardo Capetillo, since both were the main characters of the story. After 3 years without working together they crossed paths again, and this time both were single.
Love has arrived
Thanks to their chemistry, little by little the romance went from the screen to real life. By this time Eduardo was 22 years old and Bibi was only 20. In a very short time they became a couple acclaimed by the media.
Both of their careers were on the rise, and everyone was talking about them. Not only were they young soap opera stars, but they also came from the musical phenomenon Timbiriche. Their relationship was of interest to practically everyone.
It wasn’t all easy
Unfortunately not everything was as easy as the world thinks. The young age of both, work commitments and the sacrifices of fame, on several occasions threatened to end the relationship for good.
However, the couple managed to stay together even after the telenovela taping ended. They looked more and more stable and managed to overcome all the obstacles they had along the way.
Engaged
After a little more than a year of relationship, the couple got engaged to be married. Immediately the media began to speculate about the possibility of a pregnancy. It was unusual for such a young couple to become engaged just over a year into their relationship.
The engagement lasted only months, as Bibi and Eduardo set the wedding for June 1994. When they got married they had just completed 2 years of relationship.
“Don’t get married”
It took him years to admit it, but Eduardo Capetillo revealed that before his wedding those close to him advised him not to do it. “Don’t get married, you’re making a mistake, you’re going to get divorced…”, were, among others, the advice Capetillo had to listen to.
However, as he would declare 25 years later, it was his heart that finally gave him the answer to the doubt that others were trying to plant in his head. As he himself has said, “What did I end up doing? What my heart dictated, was I wrong or not? That answer I leave to you.”
The Marriage
On June 25, 1994 Eduardo and Bibi got married in the state of Morelos. Specifically, they were married in the Chiconcuac hacienda, a construction that dates back to the 16th century and has great cultural significance for the state.
The event was broadcasted by the biggest Mexican TV networks and was considered the wedding of the year due to the magnitude of the event. Of course, great personalities of national and international show business were invited.
