Netflix just dropped Selena: The Series, and fans are already scrambling to watch the show, which is based on the life of the late "Queen of Tejano Music," Selena Quintanilla. Selena was tragically shot and killed by the president of her fan club when she was just 23.
With the release of the first half of the two-part series, plenty of people are interested again in Selena’s life and her family, including her older brother, A.B. Quintanilla. Played by Gabriel Chavarria, A.B. is featured heavily in the show, but of course, he’s also a real person.
A.B. was a member of Selena’s band, Selena y Los Dinos, and he wrote several of his sister’s hit songs, including "Como La Flor" and "No Me Queda Mas." Now, he has a family of his own. Here’s what you need to know about A.B.’s wife and kids today:
Who is A.B. Quintanilla's wife?
These days, A.B. is all grown up and married to a woman named Anjelah O. The couple tied the knot in September 2019 in Las Vegas, but waited a while to tell fans. A.B. recently recapped the news in an Instagram post marking the couple’s one-year anniversary. "It’s crazy how time flies...Exactly 1 year ago I married my wife @anjelah.o.quintanilla and you changed my world to a beautiful place!!!" he wrote. "Te amo mucho baby!!! Happy Anniversary my love!!! ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥⚡️⚡️⚡️."
Anjelah shows up pretty often in A.B.’s Instagrams. Evidence:
Has A.B. Quintanilla been married before?
Yeah, so about that… Anjelah is actually A.B.’s fifth wife.
Let’s recap, shall we? A.B. married his first wife, Evangelina Almeida, in 1988, per Distractify. But he and Evangelina divorced not long after Selena died in 1995.
In 2002, A.B. married his second wife, Heather Grein, but it didn’t last long. Two years after marrying Grein, A.B. wed his third wife, Brenda Ramirez, on New Year’s Eve in 2004.
After that, he moved on with his fourth wife, Rikkie Leigh Robinson. The couple were married for five years but, unfortunately, that relationship didn’t last either. A.B. announced during one of his concerts that he and Rikkie were divorcing.
How many kids does A.B. Quintanilla have?
A.B. has eight children—six boys and two girls, according to Daily Vitamina. The publication reported that A.B. announced on Facebook a few years ago that he and Rikkie were trying to have a baby (while they were still together), but the couple ultimately split before that happened.
A.B. doesn’t share much about his children on social media, choosing instead to post photos of his wife and late sister.
