Rosalía, 30, took the stage at Lollapalooza Paris over the weekend, and she became emotional while performing her song "Hentai," prompting the crowd to help her sing the passionate, sensual ballad.

The next month, Alejandro revealed that he had "Rosalía" inked above his navel in a handwritten font. In March, the couple revealed news of their engagement in the music video for their song "Beso," which was featured on their joint EP RR. That same month, they opened up about their bond in an interview with Billboard, in which they revealed what the other had taught them and how they apply it to their work. Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro.

"But she's a freak-crazy workaholic. Piano lessons, dance lessons, voice lessons; what else can you learn when no one sings like you? At the beginning, I didn't really get it, but after some time, I said, 'OK, let me try to follow her lead and see.' And the difference is huge." Rosalía added that her then-fiancé was "far more relaxed" than she is, which helped her keep her "balance." "Of course my career is super important in my life, but at the same time, in my life, you're my companion, and everything else comes second," she told Alejandro during the interview. Close
