Michael Buble’s wife Luisana hits back at claims that Michael is abusive
Michael Buble and Luisana Lopilato have been together for more than a decade. They started dating in 2009, I think, and they married in 2011. They have three kids together (one of whom battled cancer for a while). Luisana is Argentinian, Michael is Canadian. The only real gossip (that I’ve heard) about them is that their marriage was understably under some strain when their child was battling cancer. But other than that, I don’t feel like people are really paying close attention to them. Except for this week. A few days ago, Michael posted this Instagram Live thing with Luisana and just judge for yourself:
Michael Bublé is currently under fire due to a recent IG live in which he forcefully grabbed his wife Luisana Lopilato after she talked over him.
Similar clips from the past have surfaced, and the actress has put out a statement denying the allegations.

Yeah, it made me uncomfortable. The way he jabs her with his elbow, the way she apologizes immediately and then he grabs her arm and pulls her closer. I’m not saying that this alone is abusive, but it totally made me uncomfortable and like he’s a complete a–hole as a husband. Well, the video went viral and Luisana took it upon herself to defend Michael and say that he’s not abusive.
After Bublé fans expressed their disappointment in his behavior, Lopilato reassured them everything was fine in their 9-year marriage.
“It is incredible how some human beings are!!” she wrote in Spanish via Instagram on Sunday, April 12. “While we cross this pandemic, and we live moments of confinement, anguish, fear, loneliness, uncertainties of all kinds! Every day we go out with my husband to live to bring them a little joy, entertainment, and we have to bear to listen and see what malicious people publish who come out to talk about anything and without knowing anything about our family.”
The Chiquititas actress told fans not to believe any negative stories they might see about her relationship. “I want you to know that I have no doubts who my husband is and I would choose him a thousand times more!! It’s not fair! This person is doing harm and taking advantage of this pandemic where people are suffering, dying and locked up, to have fame and more followers. [These are] lies that I will not allow because [they] disrespect my family, so I ask you who have trusted me so much for years that you don’t allow it either … The world needs more than ever ‘love, hope, values, unity and solidarity’ NOT these types of people.”
According to Hello magazine, some fans even urged Lopilato to leave her husband after the shocking behavior he displayed on the livestream. “Thank you for worrying,” the South American model reportedly said in a video addressing the scenario. “It’s very important that we pay attention to these problems that have been mentioned and that I am lucky not to suffer [from abuse].”
I find this whole thing odd. It honestly feels like Michael barked at her until she defended him when really he should have just issued an apology himself and said “yeah, I can see how that looked bad, that wasn’t really what happened, I’m sorry, I would never.” And don’t blame other people for simply watching a video on social media and commenting about how the body language is completely WRONG. Yikes.
