A woman attending a concert by bachata group Aventura reportedly ran on stage, embraced lead singer Romeo Santos and kissed him.
The incident occurred while the band was performing in the Dominican Republic, and crowd-filmed video of the moment quickly spread across social media.
The fan, identified as Miriam Cruz, was married.
The footage prompted her husband to file for divorce after their ten-year marriage.
Cruz later issued an apology, acknowledging that her actions had come “at a very high cost,” including the breakdown of her marriage.
She said she was “carried away by nerves and emotion” and expressed sorrow over the outcome, while also calling the kiss a dream fulfilled after years of admiration for Santos.
At the same time, other reports indicate that in the weeks following the incident, Cruz posted messages on social media aimed at her husband suggesting a desire to reconcile.
She described him as “the love of my life” and offered effusive birthday wishes, complicating public understanding of whether the divorce has been finalised or remains pending.
The couple’s official marital status remains unconfirmed.
The initial divorce filing reportedly followed the concert kiss, their later social-media exchanges have stirred speculation about a possible reunion.
Social media reactions to the episode have been sharply divided.
Some condemned Cruz’s behaviour as disrespectful and a betrayal of marital trust.
Others defended it as a spontaneous act in a heightened emotional moment, arguing that the fallout was unfair or overly harsh.
Commentators and fans of the musician debated issues of personal responsibility, consent and the boundaries between celebrity and audience.
For now, the incident remains a potent example of how a single impulsive act amplified by social media can have significant real-life consequences for those involved.
