Overview

• A short clip from an Alejandro Fernández concert in the United States showed María del Refugio “Doña Cuquita” Abarca in an affectionate moment with an older man.
• The video, first posted by TikTok account @urindamm77, spread quickly and led to speculation about a supposed new romance.
• Journalist Javier Ceriani, citing Vicente Fernández Jr., and TV program Sale el Sol said the man is Doña Cuquita’s brother, a version also echoed by influencer Chamonic.
• Coverage noted the Fernández family’s practice of kissing on the lips as an expression of affection, a custom Alejandro Fernández has publicly defended.
• With the identification now widely reported, outlets characterize the episode as a misreading of a family gesture rather than evidence of a relationship.
