Last Saturday, Alejandro Sanz took the audience at Brooklyn's Barclays Center by surprise when he invited his girlfriend, Stephanie Cayo, on stage during his concert. The unexpected, passionate kiss they shared ignited an immediate ovation and quickly became a trending topic across social media platforms.
This memorable moment occurred during his '¿Y ahora qué? World Tour'. The Madrid-born singer asked Cayo to dance in front of thousands of fans and, just as she was about to leave the stage, he gave her a kiss that spoke volumes.
Stephanie Cayo, a Peruvian actress, singer, and model, was born in Lima on April 8, 1988, having just celebrated her 38th birthday days before the Brooklyn concert. With a substantial career in Latin American television and film, she is currently part of the cast of the Netflix series 'DOC'.
Their romance began to surface publicly during Sanz's Latin American tour earlier this year, with their first documented kiss captured on February 21 in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Their relationship gradually unfolded on social media, culminating in a birthday message Sanz posted for Cayo on April 8 on Instagram, alongside their first official couple photo: "You shine like no one else. May magic always be with you. Happy return to the sun, Stephanie."
This kiss in Brooklyn follows Sanz's breakup with Candela Márquez, confirmed at the end of December 2025 due to irreconcilable differences, and his 2023 separation from Cuban visual artist Rachel Valdés.
After the concert, Sanz shared a reflective message on his social media, interpreted by many as indicative of his current state of mind: "There are places that require you to be a spectator and others that pull you into their story. Brooklyn is one of the latter. Here, the streets don't just see you; they pass through you, and in that strange crossing, one understands that dreams don't sleep, they just change stages."
The tour is set to continue with performances in Orlando on May 1, Miami on May 2, Dallas on May 6, and Houston on May 8, with Mexico slated for October. Meanwhile, Sanz's personal life continues to be as much a focus as his music.
