Pepe Aguilar is married to Aneliz Aguilar Alvarez since 1997. The couple has four children together; Emiliano Aguilar, Aneliz Aguilar, Leonardo Aguilar, and Angela Aguilar. They are also singers like their father.

At some point in Pepe’s life, he went through a horrifying event that made him worry every day. Some kidnapper with some motive crashed down in Pepe’s life when they kidnapped his wife, Aneliz Aguilar Alvarez, along with his brother for ransom in 2013.
He talked about this horrible experience in an interview with Mario Lopez in One On One, saying that he was scared when his wife didn’t pick up the phone. When she finally picked up, she told him something that made no sense.
And again, in addition to this terrible incident, Pepe’s son, Jose Emiliano Aguilar, was arrested in March 2017, under the charges of human smuggling four Chinese men into the USA by hiding them in the trunk of his car. Following the arrest, Jose was released on paying a $15,000 bond and was ordered to live with his mother.
Pepe attended his Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony in Hollywood, California, on 26 July 2012, with his wife, Aneliz Alvarez-Alcala. He was seen kissing his wife, Aneliz, after his arrival for the ceremony.
One of the couple’s children, Angela, became a talk of the media outlets and fans that she was the spitting image of her grandmother Flor Silvestre, who died on 25 November 2020, at the age of 90.
In an Instagram post of Aneliz with a photo of her mother and her daughter, Angela clarified these doubts that Angela is the granddaughter of Flor and daughter of Pepe and Aneliz. The photo was shared on the occasion of Angela’s birthday, where Aneliz wrote, “For the dreams you have, the ones you fulfill and the ones you inspire; It is a privilege to accompany you in this life. Thank you for coming and filling the world with smiles, life is better through your eyes.”
The suspicions are confirmed while Aneliz Aguilar looks like her, the singer Angela Aguilar is identical to Flor Silvestre. The post also got quite the appreciation for Angela’s beauty.
Pepe’s family is musically inclined, and all his children are singers, similar to their father. Pepe has tried to balance his personal life along with his career. Moreover, he has entertained his fans with his performances, and he is still adding up more to his career.
