Aneliz Álvarez Alcalá Is Not Fond of the Limelight - Meet Pepe Aguilar's Wife
Aneliz Álvarez Alcalá has been ranchera singer Pepe Aguilar's wife for nearly 30 years. Despite marrying into a family of stars and giving birth to more, she has mostly shied away from the public eye.
Aneliz Álvarez Alcalá tied the knot with Mexican musician Pepe Aguilar in the late 1990s. She married into a family of renowned artists, with her mother-in-law being the late actress and singer Flor Silvestre and her father-in-law, the late legendary singer Antonio Aguilar.
Aneliz expanded the family with her husband, welcoming three talented children, two of whom are proudly following in the footsteps of their father and grandparents. Despite all the stardom surrounding her, however, Aneliz prefers her privacy.

Aneliz Álvarez Alcalá Gets Upset When She Appears on Vlogs, Her Husband Says
In September 2022, Aneliz's husband and two of their kids shared insight into their family dynamic in a joint interview. All three raved about Aneliz, emphasizing her role as a fundamental part of their family.
"My wife is a fundamental part, both of the family and the show, of everything we are as Aguilar Álvarez," Pepe said, adding that Aneliz was a reliable person whom "everyone depends on in one way or another."
Pepe called his wife the "axis" of their family; however, he also noted her dislike for being in front of the camera. "Maybe she doesn't like the camera; she gets angry when they show her in the vlog, but she is someone we love a lot and appreciate a lot," he said (translated).

Pepe has another son, Emiliano Aguilar, from a previous relationship. Emiliano once had a run-in with the law but now appears to be pursuing music like his siblings.
