Raúl Alejandro Ocasio and Rosalía Vila may not come to mind, but if we talk about Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro you will surely know who they are at first glance: the most international couple of singers who have just sealed their engagement in the video for ‘Beso’ after a three-year relationship in which they have shown that you can believe in love between celebrities (at least until they break our hearts collectively). And the singer’s new TikTok video, between parody and the sharpest sarcasm, only reaffirms it. You just have to love them.
Something simple, a Ferrari
In it, Rosalía imitates her partner while his laughter can be heard in the background, with phrases such as “I’m going to buy a car, okay? Something simple, a Ferrari”, “Thank you, God, for this fried chicken. More adobo, more adobo” or, looking at the fridge, “No arroz con jamonilla, no chuleta, no tostones”. Each of the things the singer says have already been repeated by her fans in the comments continuously. And, despite the huge amount of money they both accumulate, it is always nice to see them interacting as if they were a normal couple.
They are not, of course: the singer has been able to show the video to her 30 million followers and in just one day already has 2 million likes. Almost nothing. Rauw Alejandro is no slouch either: he has 14 million followers on TikTok and some of his videos exceed 98 million views. Read that again: 98 million. A normal couple, wow.
Considering that the singer tried to enter ‘Tú sí que vales’ at the age of 15 but was rejected by the jury and that her boyfriend was going to be a soccer player before discovering music and, in fact, was depressed after suffering an injury that split his career in two, the road to here has been a succession of happy events that has ended with the two of them together forming one of the most powerful power couples in Latin music. And Rosalía’s blue-wigged, Puerto Rican-leaning Rosalía impersonation has only made their fans fall even more in love.
Of course, they have an important request: now it is Rauw who has to imitate the singer in her daily life. What is clear is that they themselves are the ones who run their social accounts and don’t care much about what they will say: proof of this is the test that the ‘Motomami’ singer did of her song ‘Hentai’ in a week in which jokes and memes with “I love you ride, like my bike” went viral continuously.
The two have been able to break through all the criticism and prove that they are an authentic couple. And nothing says “authenticity” like a blue wig and the phrase “Diablo, baby, you got a giant ass, that ass of yours has got me crazy”. No one said being the hottest artists would be easy in 2023, did they?
