Is Ab Quintanilla Still Married To Vangie? – Celebrity
A.B. was 24 when he married his first wife. A.B., born Abraham Isaac Quintanilla III, was 24 in 1988 when he married Evangelina Almeida in Corpus Christi, Texas, according to Hola! magazine. (In the Netflix series, The Purge actor Gabriel Chavarria plays A.B., while Criminal Minds ’ Gladys Bautista portrays Vangie.)
The “Como La Flor” writer was 24 when he married Vangie in a ceremony in Corpus Christi, TX in 1988. At the time, the Quintanilla family band—Selena y Los Dinos—was still going strong, and Selena was a year away from releasing her self-titled first album with EMI Latin. The couple lived in a house next to A.B.’s parents, per Texas Monthly.
A.B. Quintanilla is no longer married to Vangie but they will forever share ties due to the two kids that they had together. Real name Evangelina Almeida, Vangie first met Quintanilla in a club in the late 1980s.
Vangie, whose full name was Evangelina “Vangie” Almeida, was A.B. Quintanilla’s first wife. In Netflix’s Selena: The Series, A.B. first saw Vangie while performing at a club. But A.B.’s dad, Abraham, intervened and prevented the pair from hooking up.
How many children do Vangie and A.B have?
Vangie and A.B. have two children together. Contrary to what the series suggests, Vangie and A.B. didn’t have a child together right away. They didn’t welcome their first child, Svani, until 1991. Their second, Gianni, was born in 2000.
Selena was shot and killed in 1995 and, while some reports say that A.B.’s marriage suffered afterward, he and Vangie didn’t divorce until 2000, per Distractify. A.B. married Heather Grein three years later.
The series follows the life of Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla, who was about to release her first crossover album before she was killed by the president of her fan club. Selena was just 23 at the time. Selena’s family is a big part of the series, including her brother A.B. Quintanilla and his first wife, Evangelina “Vangie” Almeida.
Vangie has moved on. According to Vangie’s Instagram, she’s had another child, daughter Alana, who is now in second grade. While Vangie doesn’t ‘gram much, her account heavily features pics of Alana and her other children.
How many kids did A.B. and Vangie have?
Vangie and A.B. had two children during their 12-year marriage. Selena: The Series makes it seem like A.B. and Vangie had their first child almost immediately after marrying. In actuality, their son, Svani, was born in 1991, and their daughter Martika was born in 2000. A.B. and Vangie divorced that same year.
Selena: The Series is technically about the life of Selena Quintanilla, a prodigious talent who rose to fame in the Tejano music market, and was primed to be a crossover star before her untimely death in 1995 at the age of 23. However, Selena’s family members—including her sister, Suzette, and brother, A.B.—get equal screen time as the singer.
A.B. and his wife, Anjelah Quintanilla, nee Orellano, married in September 2019, per his Instagram. The couple seems to be enjoying their first year of marriage. “You changed my world to a beautiful place,” A.B. wrote.
A.B.’s first wife, Vangie, is featured in Selena: The Series. The “Como La Flor” writer was 24 when he married Vangie in a ceremony in Corpus Christi, TX in 1988. At the time, the Quintanilla family band—Selena y Los Dinos—was still going strong, and Selena was a year away from releasing her self-titled first album with EMI Latin.
