Singer-songwriter Gustavo Galindo proposed to Alyssa Diaz in 2019 while in Maui during a ceremony officiated by a Hawaiian priestess. According to “The Rookie” star, it was so elaborate that felt like she and Galindo were already tying the knot.
Galindo was born in Mexico City but moved to Sacramento, California, at age 12. He told Remezcla that he had to work hard to turn his passion for music into a career, saying, “I’ve never been what you would call a natural or a prodigy.” His dedication to his craft paid off when his debut album, “Entre La Ciudad y El Mar,” earned a Grammy nomination in 2012.
Unlike many of Hollywood’s singer-actor couples, Galindo and Diaz didn’t know they were both involved in the entertainment industry when they first met. On “He Said, Ella Dijo,” Diaz said that some of her “Rookie” castmates had helped her set up an online dating profile before she jetted off to Mexico City to film “Narcos.” Through the app, she connected with Galindo, who was in the city at the time. Galindo had no clue that Diaz was an actor until they started chatting and she told him she was working on a project that she couldn’t divulge any details about due to signing a non-disclosure agreement. “And he liked it, he liked it because of the mystery,” Diaz recalled. Galindo agreed, saying, “That makes it more intriguing.”
