Late Selena Quintanilla’s Father, Abraham Quintanilla, Dead at 86

Posted on by admin

Airtel Malawi

Abraham Quintanilla, the father of late singer Selena Quintanilla, has died. He was 86.

“It’s with a heavy heart to let you guys know that my Dad passed away today…,” the late singer’s brother, Abraham “A.B.” Isaac Quintanilla, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, December 13, announcing his father’s death. Abraham’s son also shared a photo of his father, wearing rose-colored sunglasses.

Capital One

The cause of death has not been made public.

Selena’s father married her mother, Marcella Quintanilla, in June 1963. In addition to their famous daughter and A.B., the pair also welcomed daughter Suzette.

Abraham took on the role of Selena’s manager as her music career took off. Her musical rise was truly a family enterprise, as A.B. played the bass and Suzette played the drums in her band.

In 2021, Abraham shared excerpts from his memoir A Father’s Dream: My Family’s Journey in Music with 3News. He also told the news station of the book, “It has a lot of things in there the public wants to know. Because there’s always been, and now it’s grown even more curiosity about Selena.”

He added, “You have to understand that people have sometimes the wrong image of musicians. But they forget one thing: that being involved in music is also a business, and for me it was a business, it became a business.”

While speaking about the beginning of Selena’s career, Abraham reflected on what the experience was like for the entire family. “At first it was a dream and then within time it became a reality because Selena became one of the leading female artists in the world,” he said

Selena was shot dead in Corpus Christi, Texas, at the age of 23 by her former friend and business associate Yolanda Saldívar, who was also accused of embezzling money from the singer’s business in the months that preceded the shooting.

Coroners ruled the death a homicide despite Saldívar’s claim it was accidental.

Us Weekly obtained the original 1995 report that confirmed that Selena died from a bullet wound to her lower right shoulder. The coroner further confirmed Selena died from “exsanguinating internal and external [bleeding] due to [a] perforating gunshot wound.”

“It is my opinion that Selena Quintanilla Pérez, a 23-year-old woman, came to her death as a result of an exsanguinating internal and external hemorrhage, in other words massive bleeding, due to a perforating gunshot wound of the thorax (chest),” coroner Lloyd White wrote.

Saldívar was charged with first-degree murder and was convicted in October 1995. Despite making a parole request in December 2024, as of November 2025, Saldívar has not been released from custody. Saldívar has served her sentence at a women’s prison in Gatesville, Texas.

“It was the parole panel’s determination to deny parole to Yolanda Saldívar and set her next parole review for March 2030,” the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles confirmed via a statement obtained by Us.

“While nothing can bring Selena back, this decision reaffirms that justice continues to stand for the beautiful life that was taken from us and from millions of fans around the world far too soon,” the Quintanillas said via Instagram at the time. “Selena’s legacy is one of love, music, and inspiration. She lived with joy, gave selflessly, and continues to uplift generations with her voice and her spirit.”

Give the Gift of Vuori! Shop the Softest Men’s Athleisure for the Driving Range to Dinner

Posted on by admin

My boyfriend is my personal life-size Ken doll. Whenever he asks me for styling assistance, I jump at the opportunity to dress him in dapper outfits — just like Ken’s job is beach, my job is wardrobe.

We may have different taste in television (sports for him, reality TV for me), but we do have the same taste in fashion. Our favorite men’s clothing brand? Vuori.

Capital One

Known for the softest activewear and loungewear, Vuori delivers coastal style, high quality and premium comfort. As founder Joe Kudla told Us, “At the end of the day, it’s all about feeling good.” With Vuori, your man will feel good and look good! Win-win.

Not only did my boyfriend wear Vuori Meta pants on our first date, but he also rocks those same slacks to the office and the golf course! That’s the versatility of Vuori. You can take these comfortable designs from day to night. And unlike some activewear, these styles are always sleek and never sloppy.

Below are 11 men’s pieces from Vuori that get my stamp of approval as a shopping editor. From joggers to jackets, each of these styles deserves a spot on your hubby’s holiday wish list.

Seaside Half-Zip Sweatshirt

Made from brushed-back fleece, this half-zip feels like a vintage sweatshirt in brand-new condition. Super soft with a relaxed fit, this classic pullover is perfect for weekend plans or post-workout comfort.

Surprisingly, Jennifer Aniston’s Classic Ugg Boots Are Still in Stock — For Now

Posted on by admin

Airtel Malawi

The moment the cold weather arrived, I did a deep dive into celebrity outfit archives for some much-needed boot inspo. Naturally, I came across a photo of Jennifer Aniston wearing the perfect pair of Uggs. Amazingly, her exact pair is still available on Amazon, waiting to be added to cart.

Yes, you read that right — Aniston’s UGG Women’s Classic Short II Boot is still in stock in every size, which is nothing short of a pre-Christmas miracle! Back in 2008, the Friends actress paired hers with joggers and a North Face jacket, nailing that effortless, off-duty vibe I all want to recreate all winter. The best part is that I know this classic silhouette will never be ‘out’ — even with so many Ugg options, this version always comes back in style.

Capital One 
 <div class="shopping-button__simple"> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/UGG/page/6F9C4C16-127C-4983-B6D8-CB4AC758E5B7?&linkCode=sl2&tag=jennifer-aniston-exact-ugg-boots-amazon-oh-20&linkId=846a1eca15b43e11be60385ad8dc224d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" target="_blank" class="shopping-button__cta" rel="sponsored"> <span>See it!</span> </a> </div>

Get the UGG Women’s Classic Short II Boot at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication but are subject to change.

Aniston may have put these boots on my radar, but the cozy-chic design quickly won me over thanks to their smooth suede exterior and flattering mid-calf height. Inside, the plush sheepskin lining delivers serious warmth even when temps dip below freezing. And with a waterproof finish and traction-packed sole, they’re built to handle snow, slush and icy sidewalks.

Jennifer Garner’s $2,570 Tote Is Seriously Spacious — This $21 Lookalike Fits Just as Much

Clearly, Aniston and I aren’t the only fans — shoppers love these Ugg boots just as much. With more than 1,600 five-star ratings, reviewers rave about the sheepskin interior, describing it as “warm and fluffy.” One shopper even said they can “spend hours outside” and their feet stay warm on “the coldest days.”

What draws me in most is how easily these boots fit into my everyday winter routine. They’re warm enough for freezing mornings yet still relaxed enough to keep me comfortable inside. On travel days, I’d pair them with leggings, then rock them with joggers while running errands and straight-leg jeans for casual coffee runs.

After seeing Aniston in these classic boots, it makes total sense why the style remains a winter staple. They offer the ideal mix of warmth and wearability, perfect for cold-weather dressing. And while they’re $190, shoppers say they’re “worth it” because they last “for years.”

In other words, they’ll still be there for you two decades from now. Sold!
