This past weekend, Cuban influencer Rachel Arderi stirred a wave of nostalgia among her followers by sharing a previously unseen photo from the early days of her romance with the reggaeton artist Oniel Bebeshito. As one of the leading figures in today's Cuban urban music scene, Bebeshito stands out, and the image captures them together on a rooftop with Havana's Capitolio illuminated in the background.
"Do you guys want to see a photo I just found of Oniel and me when we first started out?" Rachel wrote in an Instagram story, accompanying her post with a snapshot that piqued her followers' curiosity. At that time, she was just 19, while he had recently released his track "Una pila de partes."
Jokingly, the influencer remarked, "He got me when I was just a kid," as she reminisced about the days when both of them were taking their first steps in their respective careers: he establishing himself as an urban singer, and she making her way into the entertainment world.
"Oh my God, I don't know whether to laugh or cry," she commented playfully upon seeing the photo. In it, she dons a satin copper dress and sports a very different style from her current look, partially dyed blonde. Bebeshito appears with his trademark street style as they pose next to a pool with the city of Havana as a backdrop.
Today, at 22, Rachel resides in Miami with Oniel, with whom she has started a family. Besides sharing her role as a mom, she is a model and is solidifying her career as a content creator on social media.
The couple is among the most popular in the Cuban urban scene and frequently shares family moments, memories, and achievements. This time, Rachel wanted to take a look back and show that, although only a short time has passed, her story with Bebeshito is already rich with memories worthy of a place in the family album.
