Selena's Legacy: Chris Perez Reflects 25 Years Later - A Deep Dive

Could you imagine living a life knowing that the best part of it was taken away in the blink of an eye? For Chris Prez, the husband of the late Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla, that's a reality he's lived with every day since March 31, 1995. The void left by Selena's tragic death continues to resonate, not just for Prez, but for millions of fans worldwide.

It's been over two decades since the world lost Selena, the "Queen of Tejano," a vibrant and influential figure in Latin music. Her story, cut short at the age of 23, remains etched in the hearts of many. But what about the man who shared a brief yet intense chapter of his life with her? What became of Chris Prez after the unimaginable loss that forever altered his path? Prez, then just 25 years old, found himself navigating a world without the woman he loved, a future he could no longer envision with Selena by his side. The pain was profound, and the journey to rebuild his life was undoubtedly arduous. In an interview, Prez poignantly expressed, "I wish I had amnesia," encapsulating the depth of his sorrow and the longing to escape the memories that were both a source of joy and immense pain.
