Chris is very humble he doesn’t talk shit about Selena’s family to start drama when they have openly talked shit about him In interviews he doesn’t deserve the disrespect he gets from the family the fact that he still loves Selena and still thinks about her 26 years after is beautiful

i would give anything for a movie or a tv show about CHRIS’ life. not even necessarily about selena or anything, just his perspective. nothing sugarcoated, just his story to tell. he has a lot to say and i wanna hear it.

This is how you age when you’re unproblematic ❤️

I've met Chris on many occasions. What you see is what you get, he's an amazing guy with a sick talent! Now we know why Selena loved him so much and why she fought so hard to be with him. 💜

Selena is proud of you, Chris! Always & Forever.

49:00 When Chris says he hears her voice. She’s with him in spirit & is his guardian angel. I believe she guides him through his instincts. As he said, he knew her very well.

THEY NEED TO LET CHRIS TELL HIS SIDE OF SELENA THAT WE DIDNT KNOW!!! Her first love and husband, his first love and first wife, and after 26 years still loves her to this day. Truly one of a kind, she loved Chris so much, Chris was her heart gave her the motivation she needed to sing her songs too 🎤

I hope some day Chris can make a movie just about him and Selena. I wanna see their love story.

Selena’s dad should be thankful that Chris truly loved his daughter and that the years they were together he made her so happy. All she wanted was true love and she got ir before she passed. Chris is humble and a great respectful man. However Selena’s father had not been respectful or honest. Chris said it at the end it’s all for Selena and to her dad it’s been all business and her brother just cares about money and fame.

The Quintanillas do not deserve the amount of respect that Chris gives them. At all! 100% respect to Chris and his daily choice to take the high-road.

I’ve never seen an interview with Chris where I can feel the knot in his throat - he’s over being secretive & wants to open up more - bless you Chris! You were Selena’s rock don’t let them take that from you

Chris has made his own lane without "those other" people. Grammy winner on his own. Chris is a legend!

Chris makes me so proud to be a latino. He's so strong, talented and humble. He was Selena's love of her life and he doesn't make that his crown. It's so sad that he lost his wife in such a horrible way.

First off, great job to the interviewer. You asked all the right questions. You allowed him to speak without interrupting and you respected his boundaries when it came to the issue of the family. I too hope one day things will be back to normal with the family. As for Chris, his interviews are always honest and respectful. He’s a real stand up guy. And I’m glad that he continues to push Selena’s legacy forward. Wish Him and the Quintanilla’s nothing but the best. Only thing I would suggest is for Spanish caption for those Chris fans that don’t speak English.

Selena would have the biggest smile on her face to see how Chris carries himself as such a kind and respectable man. Thank you Chris for always being willing and vulnerable to talk about the tough and personal things he’s gone through in his life. What a true wise man he is and what an amazing interview!

You can tell he was trying to hold back tears when he speaks about her

When Selena died a part of him died too - so the fact he says he still hears her - he still feels her - that part he cannot let go & I wouldn’t either - he knew her like the back of his hand she was his other half - I feel the same about my boyfriend of 9 years - if he were to die right now I would never ever not feel or hear him or know how he would react to certain things ..

At 41:08 when Chris actually says whoa this me was born - after the 2015 tribute - he woke up - he realized holy shit I was married to her that’s my life - she was my life - I am not an outsider in this & I do not have to be- and that is how we have gotten him to be so vocal no since then before that he was a shell of himself

I love how the interviewer asked him questions about him personally. We all want to hear about his life with Selena but I’m sure Chris appreciated his genuine questions about his life leading up to their memories

Chris is nothing but good vibes. He truly deserves nothing but the best. He's such a kind, humble, genuine soul ❤️✨ I really hope the issues between him and the Quintanilla family get sorted out soon. I feel like Selena would be really sad to know that they're beefing :(

Chris and Selena forever 💜💋💜💋

The one thing I love about us fans and I’m sure Chris appreciates, is the fact that when we think Selena we automatically think of Chris. They were each other’s person. You see the love in his eyes all these years later. And that is a beautiful thing no one can ever take away (no matter how hard certain “people” try to eliminate)

One of the most underrated guitarists of all time ! I followed all of these guys from the mid 80s . A true class act and gentlemen. Loved his book , his honesty and surely can see why Selena fell in love with Chris . Much respect!

He needs to make a movie of his own truth. We all here for it

It’s sad that he was left out on so much. Much respect to him for even though the family doesn’t want him included he still continued to move forward in life in such a positive way. Mad respect.

I can never skip ahead in a Chris Perez interview. Thanks for doing this. He's the man and I'm always sending all my virtual love and respects to the guy.

How could you not like this man? He is honest,genuine. humble,and so down to earth. Thank you for this interview. This was a home run for sure.

All of Selena’s fans love you and support you Chris, she would have been very proud of you.

it’s sad that after all of these years abraham refuses to treat this man like a son which makes me believe the movies portrayal of him was the most accurate…. over controlling and overbearing, refusing to see his daughter as an autonomous adult who could make her own decisions, and ultimately only tolerating him to appease selena and make sure the band survives once he realized that SHE was the selling point and not him or the band… but now that she’s gone he doesn’t feel like he owes it to chris to be an actual father in law. i hope the entire family reconciles. i’m sure it’s what selena would have wanted.

I just finished reading Chris’ book and omg I am in awe he wrote it so beautiful he loved Selena so dearly I sobbed so many times in this book 🥺

What a humble guy. This is a far different interview than his brother in laws. Also respectful, he has all the ammunition to just rip them apart but he doesn’t. This is why we love him so much and we know this is the guy that loved our queen and we can see why she loved him so much and would light up when talking about him in interviews.

I want a man like Chris ....he loved Selena more then his own life I want that !

The interviewer did such an incredible job! Chris is very kind and thoughtful! He could've just talked negative about her family but chose not to. What a guy, no wonder why Selena married him!

I don’t know this interviewer but he is fantastic, he asks great questions, allows Chris to answer to whatever extent he chooses, and really listens to Chris’s answers. And Chris is so hot! Lol

I love the memories he shares about Selena. It shows that Selena is always in his heart forever. Selena is proud of you Chris.

You can tell how much he STILL loves & respects her 🥺 finally a good interviewer who let him talk & was honest/respectful. Great job on focusing about his life & success as well, separate from the horrific situation.

I have been fortunate to meet Chris in person and he is a very kind, humble & I believe honest person, I truly respect him.

I could still see the sadness in his eyes after so many years... Selena is gone but never forgotten. WE LOVE YOU SELENA!!!

Now I know why Selena loved him so much, she was so humble and he is too!

It's unfortunate that no-one has explained to Chris WHY they were booing him. He singlehandedly snatched their idol crush out of their reach without any warning. It definitely can't be taken personally when you've practically won the jackpot and left them in the dust.🚀 Right? Good for you. I like the way host called you first Latino power couple. 💕

What a humble and nice guy Chris is. Chris and Selena complimented one another so well.

ive met chris about 7 times and every time its always a day to remember he’s amazing such a sweet person

Hope to meet this guy some day. He's about as real as it gets Not many are in that business

I just love Chris he is so sweet and humble what a cool guy

honestly..I didnt realize how sincere and honest and raw this dude was. he seems passionate. man respect and love to him

I think I fall a little more in love with Chris Perez every time I get to hear him speak or play music. #MCM

CHRIS PEREZ IS SO HUMBLE, SIMPLE YET SO CLASSY. SELENA IS SO BLESSED TO HAVE CHRIS AND SO AS CHRIS.

Chris speaks and carries himself with great dignity and genuine humility. Very attractive qualities not always found in entertainment-world people. It’s easy to understand why Selena fell for him and what made them a great couple. How tragic he lost her so young. My heart goes out for his pain and the long, difficult road he’s walked trying to heal. He deserves the individual success and serenity he’s achieved. He’s a good man.

Chris is a super talented guy who deserves the best. Rock on, man.

Big fan of Chris Perez !! He’s humble and honest 🥰🥰 love the book “To Selena with Love”

THANK YOU for giving him the recognition he DESERVES. As his own person and as a crucial part of Selena’s life. 🌹💜🎤🎸

This interview just proves what I have been thinking for a long time, Chris Perez is a wonderful human and these days that seems to be rare unfortunately. I don't know if Chris will actually see this comment or not, I hope he does...because I want to say Thank you Chris for restoring my faith that there are actually men out there who genuinely care about other people and are not selfish and only look out for themselves. I don't know that I will ever be ready to trust someone in a relationship ever again, but if I am, I hope there is someone out there like you for me. I will always support all things Chris!

When he said I could of help !! Mannnn they should of asked him to put his stamp on it too... that’s Selena husband the man that hold her heart the man that made her feel so happy!

He deserves all that love from us fans because we saw the genuine love they had for each other and he didn’t abuse it after her death. The respect he still has for her is admirable. She will be forever immortal and missed.

This was defiantly worth the wait! WHAT a deep conversation filled of honesty and positivity ! I'm impressed, I love that in this interview you actually let him speak his mind and LISTEN!!! No interruption, No unnecessary giggles. I loved this interview. Good Job!

You are the living and walking story of some one that has overcome so many obstacles and loss while still picking yourself up and continuing on. Love you always Chris

The way he still has tear eyes he is a pure soul selena & him where blessed to have each other ❤️😭🥺😫🙏🏻

I knew there was something special about Chris even after growing up with the movie. Chris has been to hell and back and he keeps fighting and getting stronger. I hope he wins this estate case against the Selena Estate cuz he was her husband and love of her life. Stay strong Chris.

Let's all agree that Selena and Chris deserve each other more than we ever thought. Selena's father didn't understand because all he cared about was Selena's career, and thought that guys were only into her because of her money and looks.

Great interviewer. He allows Chris the space to think through and think deeply about his experience. I really enjoyed the interview!

39:00 I know Chris is trying so hard to respect the Q family and not name names lol Buuut it's not a secret. Mr.Quintanilla has talked about it and he admitted to it in interviews. He is the one who wanted to down play Selena and Chris's relationship (no surprise there). He didn't wanna include their elopement at all in the movie actually. Gregory Nava the director had to secretly talk to Chris behind Abraham's back in order to get his side of the story. This Chris VS the Quintanilla's has been going on since day 1 unfortunately. Gregory was there to make a biographical film based on facts. Purposely leaving out MAJOR life details like Selena being married was not gonna happen. Gregory had the final say in making Chris and Selena's romance the focus of the film because it was Gregory's movie. Though the Q family was involved they did not have the final say. I'm glad Gregory stood his ground and stayed faithful to the truth as much as possible. Even tho the movie still had some fiction cause you know Hollywood.

Chris is such a kind hearted loving person with such a humble genuine down to earth personality and it shows. Chris has come so far and has achieved so much and I’m proud of him and I know Selena is and would be very proud of him too! Chris may not know but he is an inspiration and I admire him. He is Awesome at what he does and in general too. I have so much respect for him. He is definitely a legend like you said. Chris, my dude you have my support! Thank you for this interview! ☺️❤️😍🙌🏻

Perez comes across as a totally honest , caring and humble man. Good luck to him in all his endeavours.

In a lot less famous life, I lost my wife to Leukemia while we were 28 years old. Her family and I (unfortunately) do not get along real great. To say I understand where Chris is coming from especially emotionally when everything first happens you feel like you’re floating in a negative way. Like you’re there but not really there. I am so happy to see him doing well and is in a real good headspace. We can move forward but never forget. I’m happy he’s getting the recognition that HE deserves too.

Great job on this interview! Chris Perez is a true respectful gentleman. The Quintanilla family shit on him every chance they get but he never retaliates because he has respect for Selena.

Chris got a raw deal all the way around. I don't believe Selena would have wanted her family to downplay her and Chris' love story. They should be ashamed of themselves, especially Abraham, who did nothing but exploit his own daughter the entire time.

I will always be supporting this man and nothing but love and happiness would i send to Chris! he seems so genuine and so down to earth! sending nothing but blessings to you, Chris!!!

Chris Perez seems to be so down-to-earth and so humble...he's amazing!

This goes to show chris is a real musician. The kid knows his stuff! He had a real musical background. I love that we got to learn a little more about him. I can’t understand why the Q family outsted him? Did they feel he was to blame for her death somehow, because he didn’t wake up that morning? Or the drug/alcohol abuse? I mean ppl mourn differently. He just said he lacked self confidence when he was a teen. I’m sure after losing his wife he fell right back into that. I’m happy he was able to get through it all.

The fact that he hasn’t aged or have lost his hair is amazing . This man is so humble and so good looking . No wonder why sel fell in love with him .,

I can see why she fell in love with you ❤️ You was her husband you are a legacy just like she is you knew her in so many ways personal/emotional way better than anyone/family 🤴 👸

Because of this interview, We’re all gonna have to start calling him Prince Charming 🤣. I mean I’m sure Selena viewed Chris as that as well as her knight in shining armor LMAO. Love the interview Vega! Thanks again 🔥

Chris has my respect way more then Mr Quintanilla will ever earn mine!! The way hes judged him from the get go is disgusting, he worried more about him then Yolanda who actually took his daughter's life!! Give this man some respect and the credit that he deserves

im always gonna support him in anything he does, hes a real solid dude 🤟🏽

I can tell Chris is still hurting . I believe Chris is not able to talk about certain issues just yet. He gave us a hint . In the future he will be able to speak his truth and his side of things. Chris is just being patient and just waiting for the right time to speak. Selena’s dad has him silenced I believe ….

Chris is so real and humble. I wish him nothing but the best and I hope Selenas family make peace with him. His the man she loved and married and She chose well, He still loves her after all these years. They had true love.

Chris and Selena have a timeless relationship that people from decades to come will remember and admire . Love always brought them together and even her family couldn’t get in the way of that . Chris you’re amazing and Selena will always love you

He is so sweet and handsome! Selena will always be with him!!

I hope Chris will make their love story movie one day ❤️ Chris is a lovely man down to earth person thats why selena❤️❤️ him so much .

Yesss first couple of chicanos a great representation of all that's good kind humble! I live how u interview its anything but basic. I'm obsessed w how talented chris has always been! Truly a king worthy of a Queen.

Tik tok has taken Selena to another level as well as much love to Chris as well!!!

I'm learning english for you, Chris, for understand you better. You're a good person, I don't know you personally but I feel it. Mis respetos para ti.

It’s official I love Chris-he’s humble and very genuine solid guy! He has my support 💯

I came across the 2nd video but stopped to watch the first one. Amazing questions, great interview and it was really nice to learn about who Chris was, and how he has become the man and musician he is today.

Chris is just a light at the end. He’s got a lot of depth to him and very passionate about what he loves in life. Thank you for doing this interview. His voice deserves to be heard all over.

This interview has me emotional. Chris is an amazing person, had the pleasure of meeting him some years ago. Such a sweet and humble soul.

Wow you know this guy is cool, and not to mention he looks the same as he looked in the 90s that’s Awesome!! Great guitar player .

Really good interview. You asked good questions and didn't interrupt him and let him answer your question fully. Really enjoyed. And of course love Chris and Selena.

I can hear him talk forever. I’m here listening with a big ol’ smile on my face. Thank you for such a nice interview. I love that he’s healed and free to be more himself, share more of himself. He’s genuine, honest, humble. What’s not to love about Chris!

You are such a good guy Chris! Selena is very proud of you. Sending you much love & light! 🙏🏼✨❤️☀️

Chris seems like the kind of guy to invite over to your house for a cookout and just talk about life and random things besides things in his life

The best and only Chris Perez 💜⚘🎸🔥

This was a really great interview and really goes to show that even with people trying to defame him or erase him from his own life experiences he still has come through. Light always wins in the end

I love Chris. He's so humble. Such a great guitarist and person.

I would give ANYTHING for a series based on his perspective of his own story with Selena. That was his wife and it would be beautiful to see his memories with her being shared… Chris your an awesome guy!!! No wonder Selena fell head over heels. He is so humble, has his head on his shoulders and just gives off really good vibes! Wish him nothing but the best!! 💜

Awww his little lisp lol She must’ve loved that

I relate so much to Chris. The way talks about dealing with his grief and his reactions to things is how I react in similar situations. It is often misunderstood. But he is so right that we all have different ways of dealing with the hard things in life. I have so much respect for him because he seems to be very self-aware and respectful of other people. It isn't hard to see what Selena saw in him.

Que gran caballero. Hombres muchos ..señores pocos y él es un señor 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

if i was in a band like chris perez and the lead singer loved me in a way, ill say lets get married rite away try a way to talk with her dad, you know love is love, chris you inspire me to write alot
