Bruno Mars’ long-lasting music career has been closely tied to his relationship with Jessica Caban, whom he met over a decade ago in a New York City hotel restaurant.
Despite their celebrity status, the couple has kept their relationship largely out of the public eye, rarely sharing personal moments on social media.
The two began dating in 2011, shortly after Mars released his debut album. Caban soon relocated from Harlem to Los Angeles to be closer to him.
Who is Jessica Caban?
Caban’s modeling career gained momentum with support from Jennifer Lopez, leading her to win the first season of NuvoTV’s Model Latina competition.
She also pursued acting, most notably appearing on The CW’s Jane the Virgin from 2016 to 2018.
In addition to her work in entertainment, Caban launched her own swimwear line, J.Marie Swimwear, which features limited edition designs inspired by characters from the musical West Side Story.
Despite their long-term commitment, Mars and Caban don’t seem in a rush to marry, with Mars considering Caban his best friend.
Although they generally steer clear of the spotlight, the couple has been seen together at the Grammy Awards multiple times, where Mars has publicly expressed his love and appreciation for Caban during his acceptance speeches.
Recently, there have been reports of tension between the couple, with sources noting that the 41-year-old singer and Caban reportedly spent Christmas and New Year’s apart.
“Bruno and Jessica barely spend time together anymore—it’s really sad,” a source told.
“They are living separate lives, so it doesn’t bode well for their relationship. It feels like things are fizzling out between them.”
