In a heartfelt Instagram post on December 15, the daughter of Gloria and Emilio Estefan wrote: “One beautiful spin around the sun by your side. One complete Circle. And each circle that follows will be formed around the last, creating the fiercest and fastest growing bond… Happy anniversary to my delicate, bold, intelligent, important, honest, loving, funny (but not funnier than me), brave compassionate, patient, badass, talented, and the most beautiful… Moon Flower. I love you.”
Hernandez replied the next day with an equally sweet tribute, “What do you do when your life comes to a stop as a result of one meeting, one person? How do you cope? Where do you go? I imagine these are things I would’ve asked myself if I had any choice in the matter. But I didn’t. You see, you swept me. You took me from my standing place and catapulted me into a new world. A brand new place, a most beautiful universe, unlike anything I had every seen… I have lived every one of the last 365 days of my life lost in this beautiful place, this beautiful love. Lost in you, and the extraordinary honor of loving you. You are light, you are beauty, you are home, and you are all that I aspire to be.”
The 23-year-old artist reposted Hernandez’s note with yet another loving caption: “What does it feel like to have words like THIS written about you? I’ll let you know when I have an answer.. for now.. I’m just a glowing puddle. I love you. Each and every word you write elevates me. (about me or not) I can’t wait for the world (and you) to see what you’re capable of.”
Estefan recently paid a surprise tribute to her mother, Gloria, at the John F.Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. where the “Get On Your Feet” singer became the first Cuban-American to be named a Kenndy Center Honoree. The show airs on CBS on December 26.
The happy couple attended the event together and posted more sweet words about one another with a red carpet pic.
