In the
Miss Venezuela 1988 pageant
at the Municipal Theater of Caracas there was a model who had everything to win the contest.
But she got
a better prize.
María Elizabeth Maronesse de Figueroa
was 19 years old, studying second year of
Law
at the Central University of Venezuela (UCV), and aspired to the title as representative of the Portuguesa state.
She didn't get the title of beauty queen, but she did take home the sash of Miss Fotogenia and Miss Latina.

However,
between parade and parade,
the young woman attracted the gaze of one of the
artists invited
to liven up the evening, Elmer Figueroa Arce, known internationally as
Chayanne
(54).
The Puerto Rican singer was already a budding star,
he was single
and his heart was beating faster than normal.
Marilisa (54), as her intimates know her, had made a strong impression on her.

For four years
they were discreetly dating.
The busy schedule of the artist did not leave many free spaces to live the crazy life, but every time they met the fuse lit up more strongly.
They married in 1992,
but the couple did not make
the link public
until five years later.
She was already a lawyer
and he had already managed to be the first Latino to star in a Pepsi ad in the United States and to succeed with
Tiempo de waltz
or
Reborn.
Settled in Miami, they soon
had children.
The firstborn, Lorenzo Valentino (25) was born in August 1997 and three years later Isadora Sofía (21).
The young man has always been
a brilliant student
and two years ago he graduated with a degree in Finance from the Florida International University College of Business.
He competes with his father in terms of
attractiveness and abs
according to what can be seen on his Instagram profiles.

The young woman has already started
her first steps in fashion
and music, since she is part of the Café con leche group, and through her social networks she exploits the
beauty inherited from her mother
with great sympathy.
After his resounding successes with
Torero
and
Salomé
, the singer is very clear about how he has come to build such a solid career:
"Family has always been the engine of my life.
I don't change Marilisa for anyone," he has confessed on occasion .

The secret of their 30 years of marriage lies in
good communication
to avoid misunderstandings, help each other when problems arise and educate their children with love.
Although Marilisa has said that
she is a jealous woman,
this has not been a setback in her relationship with the artist, who has always maintained her fidelity.
