Singer Dina Páucar is set to marry her longtime partner, Rubén Sánchez, following a surprise marriage proposal during a family gathering this past June.
The couple, who have shared a life together for 30 years, celebrated during a family trip to the beach in Punta Sal.
Páucar stated in an interview with the program En Escena on RPP that she was unaware of the proposal when the trip began. She initially believed the family was traveling to the beach to celebrate her birthday in advance and to enjoy a brief vacation.
“Sí, para mí fue sorpresa, sinceramente, no lo esperaba,” Páucar said regarding the moment her children and partner revealed their plans. The singer noted that the surprise was prepared by her children during a four-to-five-day family stay.
Reflecting on their 30-year relationship, Páucar identified communication as the primary factor in their longevity. She emphasized that while their life together has not always been easy, they have maintained their bond by keeping their professional and personal lives separate.
“Tenemos 30 años juntos en lo dulce y en lo amargo, lo digo porque no toda la relación es color de rosa, siempre hay altibajos, pero nosotros nos comunicamos muchísimo, hablamos bastante y no mezclamos nuestra relación con el trabajo,” she explained. She described Sánchez as her “eternal life partner,” as well as her manager and producer.
A Foundation of Partnership: Dina Páucar and Rubén Sánchez have collaborated both as a couple and professionally, with Sánchez serving as her manager and the father of her children throughout their 30-year history.
The couple intends to formalize their marriage before the end of the year. According to Páucar, they are currently working to finalize the details of the event while managing their professional schedules.
The proposal occurred during a family trip to Punta Sal in June of this year. Dina Páucar was at the location for what she believed was a birthday celebration and a short family vacation.
Páucar stated that the civil wedding will be an intimate gathering, whereas the religious ceremony will be a larger, more elaborate event.
Páucar attributes their 30-year relationship to frequent communication and the decision to avoid mixing their professional work with their personal life. She noted that their relationship has faced both “sweet and bitter” moments over the decades.
