While Karol G and Anuel AA once seemed like a power couple in Latin music, when they showcased their relationship in songs like Secreto and Ocean, their romance was far from perfect. In the documentary, Karol doesn’t go into graphic detail, but she does reveal that she was in a deeply toxic relationship that drained her emotionally and mentally. She describes this period as one of the hardest in her life—a time when she lost herself and struggled with depression.
Recently, Karol decided to share these uncomfortable details in her Netflix documentary, Tomorrow Was Beautiful. The relationship, which began in 2018 and ended in 2021, was marked by intense public scrutiny and behind-the-scenes turmoil. According to Karol, breaking up was not something that happened overnight. “It took me a long time to leave that relationship,” she confesses in the film. “It cost me a lot… I was very depressed.”
Her words shed light on how damaging the relationship had become and why stepping away was essential for her healing.

Finding Light: Her Connection with Feid
Following the breakup, Karol focused on her music and personal growth. In 2021, during preparations for her Bichota Tour, she invited Colombian singer Feid (also known as Ferxxo) to be her opening act. Their time together backstage and on the road sparked a genuine connection, which slowly turned into something more.
In Tomorrow Was Beautiful, Karol reflects on the shift: “I experienced a new kind of love,” she says, referring to her bond with Feid. She describes it as healthy, supportive, and calm—a stark contrast to her past relationship. Their story isn’t just about romance; it’s about the possibility of rediscovering love in a peaceful, respectful way.

Healing Through Music and Self-Love
Beyond the romantic narrative, the documentary is ultimately a story of resilience. Karol G details her mental health struggles—particularly her battle with anxiety and depression—and how she used music and therapy as tools to rebuild herself. The documentary also touches on other personal issues, like body image and public pressure, which she faced while trying to maintain her career and mental stability.
Songs like Mientras Me Curo del Cora and TQG with Shakira stem from that emotional recovery, turning pain into powerful anthems of strength.

A New Era for Karol G
The message Karol G shares in Tomorrow Was Beautiful is one of growth, healing, and empowerment. Her breakup with Anuel AA was not just a separation—it was a catalyst for transformation. By choosing herself, Karol G broke free from a toxic cycle and paved the way for healthier relationships, both with others and with herself.
Today, as she continues to break records and headlines festivals around the world, Karol G stands as a symbol of emotional strength and artistic authenticity. Her journey, as captured in the documentary, is a reminder that even in heartbreak, there’s the potential for something beautiful to grow.
