No more “Vampiros” — it seems Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro might be over. At the end of July, sources told People that the power couple reportedly ended their relationship after more than three years together, also calling off their highly public engagement.
Sources told the magazine that the couple had “love and respect” for each other, but they were going to go their separate ways. The couple had always been coy about their relationship.
Alejandro told Rolling Stone for a cover story in January 2022 that they had been dating for a “while,” and fans have speculated they first crossed paths during the 2019 Latin Grammys, though the couple kept things under the radar in the beginning. “20 . . .” he said before catching himself quickly. “I can’t say.”
From tattoos and a joint EP to lavish dates and red-carpet appearances, here’s a timeline of their time together.
Nov. 2019 — Rosalía and Rauw officially meet
During a sweet GQ interview in mid-2023, the couple answered questions about their relationship, including how they met. Alejandro confirmed that they first crossed paths at the 2019 Latin Grammys in Las Vegas. Rosalía asked him what their first impressions were of each other.
“Your impression was that you fell in love at first sight,” joked Rauw with a laugh.
“I had to work for it,” he said. “You first thought I was a player.”
“It turns out you weren’t,” she responded. “I won the lotto.”
Also in the interview, Alejandro revealed they shared their first kiss on December 23, 2019 during a trip to Madrid. “Wow, what a memory you have!” joked Rosalía.
Nov. 2020 — Rosalía is credited on Afrodisíaco
By November 2020, rumors of the couple’s romance swirled, especially after the Spanish star was credited on several of the songs from Alejandro’s 2020 LP Afrodisíaco. Rosalía is credited as a producer on opener “Dile a Él” — where fans spotted some of her vocals — and as a writer on “Strawberry Kiwi.”
Alejandro later said that she wrote a “crazy top line,” adding that the two often helped each other in coming up with new music ideas. “We respect each other. That’s the main thing,” he said. “We’re not focused on doing music together. If it happens, yeah, of course. We plan to do it, but it’s not going to happen now.”
Sept. 2021 — Rauw and Rosalía confirm they’re together
After being spotted walking out of a restaurant in West Hollywood in August 2021, the couple confirmed their relationship by sharing a sweet TikTok that has garnered more than 9 million likes.

I’m tired of this shit.’” Alejandro later Rolling Stone in his cover story. “And I was like, ‘Fuck it, let’s do it.’ It felt right, so we went down, holding hands at the restaurant. What do you want me to say? Yeah, we’re together.”
The video sees the couple forming a heart together with their arms as part of a trend before Alejandro twirls the Spanish star to form another heart with their hands.
The next day, Rosalía shared a collection of photos to celebrate her birthday, including a selfie of herself in Alejandro’s arms while he plays Xbox. “Blisssssss,” she captioned the post. “Libra and blessed.” In another photo, Rosalía catches Alejandro off guard as she smiles into the camera.

“She’s perfect. She’s beautiful,” he told the outlet, before adding: “She deserves everything that happened, that is happening en su carerra. She works really hard and, you know, [I’m] really happy man.”
Jan. 2022 — Rauw Alejandro talks about Rosalia on the cover of Rolling Stone
Rauw Alejandro opened up about his life and music in a Rolling Stone cover story, sharing that being with Rosalía helps him decompress. “I try to be with my girl,” he said. “We fly a weekend off, if we can.”
“There’s people that love drama, and we’re not like that,” Rauw said about their relationship. “There’s a bunch of pop stars where it’s like the whole telenovela, and I hate that shit. I really hate that shit. We’re real stuff. We’ve been together for a while.”
Alejandro also teased the coming of Rosalía’s beloved Motomami album saying: “It’s amazing, it’s amazing. When I heard the whole album, phewww. She’s a GOAT. She’s innovative. She’s creating new sounds.”
And he clarified his previous “muse” comment at the Los40, by saying: “Not all the songs are about her specifically. She can be my muse, but she inspires me in different ways: sounds, production-wise, not literally. People get confused. Right now, if I put out a sad song, it doesn’t have anything to do with my personal life.”
A track that’s for sure about her? “Aquel Nap ZzZz,” he admitted.
Spring 2022 — Valentine’s Day celebrations and tattoos
Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro celebrated their first official Valentine’s Day with Alejandro sharing some photos of the two together with the caption reading “my muse” in Spanish.
The following month, Rosalía visited El Hormiguero and shared that she. had an “RR” tattoo on her foot. (As we know, that’s their initials and also the name of the joint EP dropped in March 2023.) “It hurt a lot because I got it done without any sort of numbing,” she told the show of the tattoo. “I told [him], ‘I’m going to get your initial tatted because it’s also mine.’ “
And then in April, fans got to see Alejandro’s tattoo with Rosalía’s name — in the font of her Motomami art — above his belly button for the first time following the singer’s concert in San Jose’s SAP Center.
Fall 2022 — Halloween, onstage surprises, and vocal lessons

And then for Halloween, the couple celebrated by dressing up as Shinji and Asuka from the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. “La Asukalía,” she captioned the photos.
Ahead of the release of his album Saturno, Alejandro spoke to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in mid-November to share details about his writing process, revealing that he was taking singing classes. “I’ve been taking vocal classes, thanks to my girl,” he told Lowe. “She always like, ‘You need to practice more.’ Okay, I’ll do it. I’ll do it. She practices her vocals every day with her professor,” before adding, “She inspires me.”
Several days later, they walked the Latin Grammys red carpet together, before Rosalía grinded on Alejandro during a performance of “Despechá.” “I feel very happy and very blessed to be here and more by your side @rosalia.vt I love you mami!” wrote Alejandro on Instagram. “This year is more special than ever because I’m sharing it with the love of my life,” added Rosalía in her own post after winning several trophies.
“I hugged the two people I love the most in this life, because they also know how much I had to fight to finish this album,” Rosalía later explained in her Rolling Stone cover story about celebrating that night. “Starting an album isn’t a big challenge if you have dreams about it, but finishing it … that’s another thing.”
March 2023 — Rauw and Rosalía get engaged (and make music together too)
In Nov. 2022, Rosalía told Billboard that the two of them had started to make music together. “We have been in the studio, like you know, but we will have to see.” (She also revealed that her favorite songs by Alejandro are “Lejos Del Cielo” and “Corazón Despeinado.”)
By March 2023 — ahead of her appearance at Coachella — the pair released RR, a three-song project featuring both artists: “Beso,” “Vampiros,” ad “Promesa.” RR offered a chance for Rauw and Rosalia to marry their sonic approaches and sky-high streaming numbers, putting their chemistry as artists on display after they spent the last year cranking out top, award-winning hits, albums, and tours.
With the release, the couple used the music video for “Beso” to finally confirm engagement rumors that started circulating after Rosalia posted photos wearing a diamond ring on her left hand. Neither commented publicly, but the video — a montage that shows them giggling in bed, kissing backstage, and sitting on airplanes together — ends with Rosalia in tears just moments after the proposal.
