Canadian singer, Michael Bublé, first laid eyes on his future wife, actress Luisana Lopilato in a parking lot in Buenos Aires in 2009. He had performed at an arena and was in the basement when the Argentine beauty walked by.
During an appearance on “Access” in 2019, Bublé recalled the first time he saw Lopilato. He revealed that he was with his grandfather at the time, and suddenly, he felt something in him.

“I looked at my grandpa and said, ‘Grandpa, this is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.'” However, the pair did not start a conversation immediately as the “Sway” singer returned to his hotel.
After he got there and had a few drinks, a friend asked if he would be willing to mingle with some famous actors in the building. Once again, he met Lopilato, who had walked in with a male pal, mistaken for her husband by Bublé.
He recalled that he did not immediately attempt to court her as she barely spoke English. Nevertheless, Bublé continued drinking throughout the evening and only talked to Lopilato’s friend, saying, “Oh my God, you guys are such a good-looking couple.”
To his shock, the said pal told him that he and Lopilato were not romantically involved, revealing that she liked Bublé. Funny enough, the entire time he spent talking to her actor friend, she believed he was gay because he was more interested in her partner for the night.
Bublé started talking to Lopilato, who also had her sister with her, and luckily for him, she could speak more English and interpreted what he said to her. He told Lopilato that she was beautiful and would love to get to know her better.
Meanwhile, Lopilato told the Daily Mail in August 2012 that she wanted to go to her future husband’s concert because she likes his music, “but I didn’t know what he looked like.”
He made his intentions very clear once he started to talk to her. The model revealed that the pop star told her that he would make her his wife one day:
“As I left the party, he said to me, ‘You are my wife. You don’t know it yet.’ And I said, ‘Of course you want me to be your wife; every man wants to marry me, so we will have to see!'”
Three months after they crossed paths, Bublé emailed Lopilato telling her that he would come to Argentina for three days to get to know her properly and get introduced to her family.
That plan fell swiftly into motion when the pair spent their first evening of his three-day stay, their first official date, having dinner with her entire family at her home.
Lopilato is the youngest of three kids. She has an older sister named Danielle and an older brother, Dario, born to parents Beatriz and Eduardo.
She shared that although the language was a barrier to her and Bublé, who had brought along a male assistant who spoke fluent Spanish, all her family members liked Bublé.
A month later, he invited her and her siblings to the US to meet his family. The same way her family openly welcomed him, his family did the same with her.
As they fell in love, Bublé decided to take their relationship to the next level. He proposed in front of Lopilato’s family when they were having dinner one evening. She thought he was joking when he told her he wanted to marry her in Spanish.
Still, he showed determination when she sincerely believed that he was joking. However, that moment quickly turned emotional as when Lopilato looked up, her father, mother, and even sister were crying.
That was when she realized Bublé was serious about asking for her hand in marriage. Lopilato noted that there was one specific reason that made her believe that Bublé was being genuine:
“I thought, ‘This is real because my father never cries.’ So, I started to cry too. I loved that he proposed that way – I am a family girl, and it was perfect that he said it in front of them.”
The couple tied the knot in 2011 in Buenos Aires, and six weeks later, they had another wedding near Bublé’s family in Vancouver.
On August 27, 2013, the duo welcomed their first child, a son named Noah. The proud dad wrote on Instagram at the time: “Overjoyed and filled with gratitude at the arrival of our son Noah Bublé.”
Lopilato gave birth to the couple’s son in Vancouver, Canada, and in the days leading to giving birth, she experienced “seven hours of labor” during a false alarm.
In December 2020, Bublé and his wife announced they were expecting their second child. The doting father revealed to People in June that that year, he and Lopilato would like to grow their family with three to five new additions.
