In one of these photos, Jenni and Fernando are hugging. The late singer had written underneath it: "I present to you Fernie, my spiritual boyfriend. 'Mi pelón.' Why does God allow me to meet the love of my life and not be able to marry him?"
Jenni and Fernando met in 2003, whilst he was running as a promoter at a neighborhood radio station in Los Angeles.

"I learned so much from Jenni about the music business," he endured. "It was my first serious relationship. It was about patience. It was tough at times ... being with someone so well-known."
These days, Billboard writes that the singer is hesitant to discuss his love for Jenni, and how much she motivated him whilst she was alive.
Where is Fernando Ramirez now?
The recording artist has discovered some good fortune in his regional Mexican song, and launched his first industrial track "No Digan Nada De Mi" in 2019.
"He wonders what [Jenni's] fans and others will say when word gets out that he's launching a career in regional Mexican music and embracing banda music — similar to Rivera," Billboard writes.
"My music will have a Chicano twist," Fernando teased at the time. "We grew up in LA listening to banda music, and no one is bringing it out in a new way, but I want to change that. I'm going to write in a bilingual way, but still have traditional elements. I am going to do it. I hope they like my music."
Fernie's newest track, "When I Dream About You," was launched in the summer of 2020, and we are excited to hear more.
