Chayanne’s Birthday

Chayanne celebrated his 44th birthday this week.  As a result, there have been many articles on Chayanne this week.  Here is a short list in case you missed any of them:

Robbery at Chayanne’s Parents’ House

Chayanne reacted to the robbery of his parents who were victims in Gurabo and urged criminals to respect the privacy of citizens.

“Yesterday I received a call about the robbery at my parents’ house and, although this news bothered me much, the important thing was knowing that they were fine.
I did not want to comment anything about it, but I think it is a good opportunity to make a call of conscience to all who think they have the right to violate the privacy of individuals, it is not right: I invite you to respect, tolerate, care but above all, to be examples for our children. Instead of doing wrong, we will grow well for tomorrow, ourselves or those who follow us, to get good results,” said Chayanne to El Nuevo Dia, via a press release.

Police reported an escalation in the home of singer Chayanne in Gurabo, but then the artist said it was in the residence of his parents.

According to the police report the residence is located in the urbanization Santa Barbara Valley Road #181 of that municipality.

“Someone broke the rear door of the residence, making access to the interior, appropriating a monitor recorder, security camera and a safe. This residence is owned by the singer Chayanne,” reads the document from the police.

More information is available in Chayanne reacciona al robo que sufrieron sus padres.

Just in Time for Valentine’s Day

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, El Nuevo Dia has an article on the formula for love.  Chayanne and his wife Marilisa Maronesse are listed for their long-lasting 20-year marriage.

“Paz, comprensión, armonía, seguridad, todas esas cosas mezcladas hacen que haya tranquilidad, comunicación. Marilisa tiene personalidad, es como esa columna que sostiene toda esa estructura. Somos gente diferente, pero que se balancea”.

Con los suyos siempre en mente

Con los suyos siempre en mente

Chayanne es un hombre de tradiciones y la primordial para él es convivir con sus seres queridos. Pero a veces, reconoce, le es imposible verlos los 365 días del año y cuando esto sucede se toma muy bien su tiempo para extrañarlos.

“Desde los diez años he viajado por muchos lugares. En ese entonces no podía estar todos los días con mis padres o mis hermanos, pero en cuanto los veía compartía con ellos bellos momentos como salir a platicar, caminar, cenar o correr. Ahora mi situación es la misma, pero cuando los tengo en frente se agranda todo (el amor)”, comentó.

With his mind always

Chayanne is a man of tradition and it is essential for him to live with his loved ones. But sometimes, he acknowledges, it is impossible to see them 365 days a year.

“In the ten years I have traveled to many places. At that time I couldn’t be with my parents or my brothers every day, but when I saw them I shared beautiful moments with them going out to talk, walk, eat or run. Now my situation is the same, but when I have them in front enlarges everything (love),” he said.

Chayanne no cambia su mujer por ninguna otra

Al cantante Chayanne no le importa que le inventen romances, porque entre él y su esposa Marilisa la relación es de respeto y hay mucho amor.

Casado desde principios de los 90 con la abogada venezolana Marilisa Maronesse, la madre de sus hijos Lorenzo Valentino, 10 años, e Isadora Sofía, de 6, el artista puertorriqueño afirma que su familia es el motor de su vida, ‘porque le hacen sentir humano’.
