Latin Celebrities’ Adorable Pets: Meet their Fur Babies
Pets aren't just animals: they're our friends and mentors in the art of unconditional love
Without a doubt, one of life’s most loyal companions is our pets. They’re more than just animals; they become trusted friends, quiet confidants, and endless sources of unconditional love. Having them around not only brings joy and companionship but also teaches us important lessons about care, responsibility, and genuine affection.
That’s why saying goodbye to our beloved pets is so deeply painful and long-lasting. Their departure leaves a void in our hearts and homes that can’t easily be filled. Nevertheless, their impact on our lives will never fade away.
Even though fame comes with many things we all dream of experiencing, it’s easy to forget how demanding and exhausting it can be. That’s why the pets of our favorite stars play such an important role; they offer a unique kind of love that only they can give. In case you’re not familiar with some of the cute pets owned by Latin celebrities, here are a few to introduce you to.
Emilia Mernes
The pet of the singer of «La_Original.mp3» is probably one of the most famous among Latin artists, often taking center stage in various stories from Argentina. We can see how Roma is almost like a therapy dog, accompanying her everywhere she goes, as the singer herself has mentioned: «Today they came with me to work but we returned exhausted, you can tell.»
However, Roma isn’t Emilia‘s only pet; she also has a Yorkshire Terrier named Pupi who lives in her hometown with her family in Argentina, in Nogoyá. As the artist has confessed, the reason Pupi doesn’t live with her is that he doesn’t enjoy car rides and prefers being at home.
Rauw Alejandro
The Puerto Rican singer has a cat named ‘Kemuri,’ whom he clearly loves, as he often shares his affection for him on social media. It’s worth noting that Kemuri belongs to a breed called ‘Maine Coon,’ known as the largest breed of cats in the world, and his appearance reflects this, as he has a somewhat wild look.

According to an article by Miren Azurmendi, a journalist specializing in the animal world, adult males can measure up to 70 cm in length and weigh over 10 kg. However, despite their size, they are known to be very affectionate and docile.
J Balvin
Just last month, in March, J Balvin welcomed a new member to his family, a white dog named Akira, an American Akita. He shared the news on his Instagram account.
However, the singer behind «LA CANCIÓN» shows us how heartbreaking it can be to lose the bond with our pets. His dog Enzo passed away earlier this year, after being by his side for 14 years. In tribute, Balvin posted on Instagram:
“He started as my son and ended up being my grandfather. We know that his years count differently, that’s why he only gave me wisdom. He taught me how to learn to keep silent and choose my battles wisely, loyalty, and the majesty of living in service, as he always did with me, my family, and my friends […] Rest in peace. Heaven is celebrating, I’m sure! ”
María Becerra
The Argentinean celebrity is a passionate advocate for animals, a sentiment she has openly shared on several occasions. Recently, during an interview on the Spanish television show ‘El Hormiguero,’ she disclosed that her love for animals goes beyond words, revealing the story behind why she owns 12 cats. While we may not know all their names, there’s a video where she introduces one of them, demonstrating the affection and care she lavishes on her furry companions.

Natanael Cano
One of the top figures in the ‘corridos tumbados’ scene shows us that despite his tough image, he’s a softie when it comes to his little dog Stizzy, a cute French Bulldog.
Aitana
‘Sopa’ (Soup), Aitana’s dog often stars in her stories and posts. The Spanish artist noticed her when she was just two months old –later adopted her.
According to IDEAL and the association Huellas Accitanas, originally, the dog was named ‘Loba’ (which means ‘Wolf’ in Spanish), but due to her habit of roaming the streets while soaked (‘hecha sopa’), as neighbors would often throw buckets of water at her to drive her away, she ended up being called ‘Soup’ (which is an idiomatic expression in Spanish used to describe someone or something as ‘soaking wet’).
Manuel Turizo
Similarly, like Natanael Cano, the Colombian singer has also fallen for the charms of French Bulldogs. Their happy-go-lucky attitude and adorable faces win over just about anyone.
In fact, just as J Balvin shares the pain of losing a pet, Turizo has honored his late dog Ñata, who was also a French Bulldog, by getting a tattoo of her.
