The Mexican singer and the producer and former president of Sony Music tied the knot at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York in a wedding that they celebrated their 25th anniversary on Tuesday.
The couple has just celebrated their silver wedding anniversary as in love as the first day. Thalía reflected this on social media: "As I write this, I feel an urge to control tears of happiness that well up in my throat. Today we celebrate 25 years of marriage, the famous silver wedding anniversary. A quarter of a century of love, of supporting and encouraging each other every day, every moment, every chapter of our lives." "You are the love of my life."
Looking back, the wedding dress of Mitzi weighing 70 kilos and with a 17-meter train is impressive. Undoubtedly, it was the major event of the year. As Tommy was one of the most influential music executives at the time, the ceremony was attended by the biggest names in the artistic world such as Julio Iglesias, Michael Jackson, Robert de Niro, or Jennifer Lopez. Time magazine estimated that the celebrations cost around three million dollars.
The age difference between the newlyweds, she was 29 and he was 51 when they said "I do," has never been a problem, as time has shown. In 2007, they became parents to Sabrina Sakaë, and four years later, Matthew Alejandro was born, and they have remained out of the spotlight to be raised as normally as possible.
For Mottola, this was his third marriage -previously married to Mariah Carey and Lisa Clark- while for the singer of Love, it was her first. She had previously been in relationships with Erik Rubín and Benny Ibarra -members of her group Timbiriche-, Luis Miguel, or Fernando Colunga.
Throughout all these years, the Mottola marriage has lived in different mansions located in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami. In fact, one of Tommy's great passions is investing in real estate that significantly increases his vast fortune estimated by Celebrity Net Worth at 540 million dollars.
Until 2017, according to the Wall Street Journal, the producer had 14 properties as investments. To date, the family lives in an impressive mansion of just over 1,200 square meters in Florida.
On the other hand, Thalía has accumulated a fortune of 60 million dollars thanks not only to her work as a singer but also as an actress, as she was very popular with the soap operas Rosalinda, Quinceañera, and Pobre señorita Limantour. Thalía's real name is Ariadna Thalía Sodi Miranda, so if you trace her family tree, she belongs to one of the most illustrious Mexican families linked to politics, literature, journalism, and the artistic world, with records dating back to the mid-19th century.
Out of her four sisters, two have been very popular in Mexico. They are the writer and historian Ernestina Sodi, who passed away last year, and the actress Laura Zapata (69). Both were involved in an unpleasant incident when they were kidnapped in 2002, and apparently, the criminals demanded five million dollars from their brother-in-law, Tommy Mottola.
That story is too confusing as the versions of those involved have been contradictory over time. The only certainty is that Laura has maintained a very distant relationship with Thalía.
