  • Thalía: Arrasando

    Thalía: Arrasando
    Nov 6 2024

    In the final episode of our Thalía journey, we explore her fairy tale ending—and everything that came after. Now celebrating 24 years of marriage with Tommy Mottola, her life seems like the perfect conclusion to a telenovela-worthy story. But even legends face hardships: tragedy struck her family, and illness tried to slow down our queen. Through it all, Thalía has remained forever young—not just in her looks or talent, but in her fearless authenticity. She reminds us that we can always be unapologetically ourselves.
