by Michael Bublé and Luisana Lopilato’s Love Story: A Decade of Wedded Bliss
Canadian singer Michael Bublé and Argentine actress Luisana Lopilato have been married for over a decade, proving that love and commitment can last through the ups and downs of life together. From meeting by chance in 2008 to overcoming their son’s cancer diagnosis, the couple’s relationship is a testament to prioritizing each other through both good and challenging times. Let’s take a look back at their relationship timeline and what has made their marriage thrive for over 10 years.
A Chance Meeting in 2008
It was love at first sight when Bublé and Lopilato randomly crossed paths in 2008. The singer was in Buenos Aires, Argentina to perform a concert, while Lopilato was working as an actress in her home country. After his show, Bublé decided to check out a local restaurant and bar called “Babylon” with some friends. That’s where he first laid eyes on Lopilato.
“The moment I saw her I just thought she was absolutely beautiful and charming,” Bublé recalled in an interview with People magazine. “We started talking and I was just very attracted to her.” Lopilato admitted she was instantly smitten with Bublé too, finding him “so charming and handsome.” They hit it off right away, exchanging numbers before Bublé had to leave Argentina.
A Long Distance Romance Begins
With Bublé based in Canada and Lopilato busy with acting jobs in Argentina, the beginning of their relationship was long distance. However, they made it work through frequent phone calls and visits back and forth between the two countries. After a few months of dating long-distance, Bublé knew Lopilato was someone special. In an interview with Hola! US, he said “From the beginning I knew she was The One.”
By 2009, their relationship had become serious. That December, Bublé brought Lopilato as his date to the Juno Awards in Canada. It was one of their first high-profile public appearances as a couple. Photos from the event showed them looking smitten on the red carpet, a sign their long-distance love was blossoming despite the challenges of living in different countries.
A Whirlwind Engagement and Double Wedding
It didn’t take Bublé long to commit to Lopilato once he knew she was the woman he wanted to spend his life with. In November 2010, after two years of dating, he proposed during a romantic trip to Disneyland Paris. Then, things moved fast – they were married just four months later in a civil ceremony in Buenos Aires on March 31, 2011.
But the celebrations didn’t stop there. Eager for both of their families to share in their special day, Bublé and Lopilato had a second wedding a month later on May 31, 2011 in Vancouver, Canada. This time it was a religious ceremony, allowing both of their cultures to be represented. Photos from the weddings show the beaming couple surrounded by loved ones as they cement their commitment in not one, but two beautiful celebrations of their love.
Building a Family and Facing Hardship Together
In 2013, Bublé and Lopilato expanded their family when their son Noah was born. Daughter Elias arrived two years later in 2016. It was around this time that the couple faced one of their greatest challenges – Noah was diagnosed with liver cancer at only three years old.
The singer was performing a concert in Vancouver when he got the devastating call about his son’s diagnosis. He rushed to be by Noah and Lopilato’s side, and the couple made the difficult decision for Bublé to put his career on hold to focus on their son’s health. Through months of chemotherapy and treatment, they supported each other and stayed strong for Noah.
Thankfully, Noah responded well to treatment and has now been cancer-free for several years. But the experience brought Bublé and Lopilato even closer through the hardship. In a 2021 interview with Hola! US, Bublé said “Cancer was the best and worst thing that ever happened to me…it strengthened my marriage and my family.”
The Secret to Their Success
After over a decade of marriage, Bublé and Lopilato clearly prioritize each other and their family above all else. But what is their secret to lasting love and a strong relationship? According to Bublé, it’s focusing on each other’s fulfillment and understanding that nobody’s perfect.
Speaking to Hola! US, he said “The key is understanding each other, respecting each other and always making sure the other person is happy…We make sure to put each other first.” Lopilato agrees their marriage works because “We respect each other, we support each other, we love each other.”
While juggling careers and parenting, they make quality time together a priority. Whether it’s date nights out or family trips with their kids, Bublé says “we always try to reconnect as often as possible.” The couple also acknowledges that relationships take work, but their mutual care, respect and commitment sees them through any issues.
Over a Decade of Wedded Bliss
More than ten years since they first met in Argentina, Michael Bublé and Luisana Lopilato’s relationship shows no signs of slowing down. With two beautiful children, a thriving marriage and careers they’re passionate about, they’ve built a loving family unit. Through challenges like Noah’s illness, their bond has only strengthened.
Bublé says being married to Lopilato makes him feel “like the luckiest man in the world.” She still gives him butterflies like when they first fell in love. Clearly their secret is prioritizing understanding, respect, quality time and putting each other first through all of life’s ups and downs. Michael Bublé and Luisana Lopilato’s love story proves that commitment, communication and making your partner happy are the keys to lasting love and a decade of wedded bliss.
