Beginnings

Paulina Rubio took her first steps in music at a very young age. At the age of 10, she joined the children’s group Timbiriche, which already had a substantial following in Latin America. Throughout her time in the group, Rubio showcased her talent and charisma, making her one of the standout members. Her voice and stage presence propelled her to fame and provided a strong foundation for her solo career. This ensemble included renowned artists, among them Thalía.

During that time, apart from delving into the musical world, she also ventured into acting. She participated in well-known soap operas and theater productions.

 

Career

In 1992, Paulina Rubio released her debut solo album titled “La Chica Dorada”, which quickly became a success in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries. The album showcased a fresh and catchy pop style that resonated with the younger audience. Her single “Mío” became an instant hit, solidifying Rubio’s position as a prominent figure in the world of Latin pop music.

Over the following years, Paulina continued to release successful albums such as “24 Kilates” in 1993, “El Tiempo Es Oro” in 1995, and “Paulina” in 2000. Her music blended elements of pop, rock, and electronic, allowing her to remain relevant and appeal to a wide audience. Songs like “Y Yo Sigo Aquí”, “Ni Una Sola Palabra” and “Lo Haré Por Ti” became pop anthems throughout Latin America.

As her career progressed, Paulina Rubio managed to expand her success internationally. Her 2000 album “Paulina” opened doors in international markets, particularly in Spain and the United States. The song “Lo Haré Por Ti” reached the top of charts in several countries.

In the 2010s, Paulina Rubio continued her musical career with albums like “Gran City Pop” in 2009 and “Brava!” in 2011, which included the popular single “Me Gustas Tanto”.

Besides her musical endeavors, Rubio served as a judge on the talent show “The X Factor” in the United States during its second season in 2012. Two years later, La Chica Dorada returned to acting with a cameo in the American dramedy series “Jane the Virgin”.

The most recent album released by the talented Mexican artist is “Deseo”, which saw the light in 2018 and features a special edition. Additionally, in 2022, she had the honor of being part of the judging panel on the show “Mira Quién Baila All Stars”.

 

Personal life

Paulina Rubio’s personal life also garnered media attention. She married Spanish businessman Nicolás Vallejo-Nágera, known as “Colate”, and later had a relationship with Mexican actor Gerardo Bazúa. With Nicolás, she had a son whom they named Andrea Nicolás Vallejo Rubio.

However, her marriage to Nicolás faced difficulties, and they separated in 2012, leading to a legal custody battle over their son. Throughout the years, Paulina also experienced ups and downs in her relationship with her family and her career.

Following that, it was when the artist entered into a relationship with Gerardo Bazúa, also known as Jerry Bazúa, from which her second child, Eros Bazúa Rubio, was born.

The relationship of La Chica Dorada with her ex-partners is tense, as she maintains that she must financially support her children while they are with their parents and also cover the expenses of both children full-time.

On the other hand, the children’s parents argue that their incomes are insufficient, a stance which was acknowledged by the United States court. But that’s not all, as Rubio’s attorney mentioned that the singer is the one covering the expenses of the legal proceedings she maintains with both ex-partners.
