Luisana Lopilato is more than Michael Bublé’s wife: a former child star and teen sensation in her native Argentina, she’s the muse behind the singer’s ‘Haven’t Met You Yet’ and a devoted mum of 4
The couple, who have been together since meeting at a music industry party in Buenos Aires in 2008, weathered the storm of their eldest child being diagnosed with cancer at age 3
Michael Bublé, 49, and Luisana Lopilato, 37, have never been ones to shy away from the tough stuff – whether it’s juggling Hollywood careers or facing personal battles like their son Noah’s liver cancer diagnosis. But through it all, these two have stuck together, proving that love can survive even the rockiest of roads.
“We don’t care what we do. Being together is the goal,” Bublé shared in an interview with Red magazine in January 2023. “More than anything, my wife and I understand that each other’s fulfilment is important.” With four kids in tow, this power couple has learned the art of balancing their personal and professional lives.
But who is Luisana Lopilato and how did she meet the Canadian singer? Here’s everything to know.
She was a child star in her native Argentina
At six years old, a talent scout approached Luisana on the street in Buenos Aires. “I was playing on the street with my mom, and a manager … said to my mom: ‘I’m looking for a little girl for a commercial,’” she told PopSugar. Her dad took her to the audition, and she got the part.
According to The Sun, her career took off with Chiquititas (Tiny Girls) in 1999, a beloved children’s musical show that also launched her onto the music scene.
She was part of a band called Erreway
Lopilato’s role in the early noughties Argentinian show Rebelde Way (Rebel Way) became a cultural phenomenon. The teen telenovela followed rebellious students at a boarding school who formed the band Erreway, which then became a band in real life. According to Last.fm, Lopilato left the band in 2005 to focus on acting, and by 2010, Erreway had disbanded.

The couple celebrated with not one but two weddings

Two months later, they had a second wedding in Canada. “It’s just another excuse to celebrate our love, have a few drinks and to dance all night,” Bublé told Entertainment Tonight Canada.
They have four children together
After welcoming sons Noah, 11, and Elias, 8, their lives changed when Noah was diagnosed with cancer at age three. “We are devastated … Luisana and I have put our careers on hold,” Bublé shared on Facebook in November 2016. Thankfully, Noah recovered after 18 months of treatment, according to Good Housekeeping. The couple went on to welcome daughters Vida, six, and Cielo, two.
