Gloria Estefan has expressed pride in the journey her daughter, Emily Estefan, has taken in her romantic life. Emily, a talented young artist, has been in a committed relationship with her girlfriend, Gemeny Hernández, for nine years. While she now embraces her relationship openly, it wasn't always easy to share it with her family. In a recent interview, Gloria revealed her surprise at Emily's initial fear of coming out as a lesbian, considering their family has always been open-minded. "Everyone has their own journey," stated the "Mi Tierra" singer, emphasizing the importance of her daughter living authentically without hiding.
"People fear what they don't understand," Gloria mused. "To me, love is love, and as long as no one is harmed, who am I to dictate who someone should love?" Emily now not only enjoys her parents' support but also collaborates with her mother on various musical projects.
Gloria also expressed her excitement in seeing her daughter happy, thriving in a stable and genuine relationship. The mother-daughter duo has shared the stage and special moments, such as the launch of the Raíces album, where Gemeny was also present.
