Luisana Lopilato said she “loved” the thoughtful way The Voice Coach proposed in 2009.
When Michael Bublé first met his wife, Argentine actress Luisana Lopilato, he didn’t speak a word of Spanish. And she didn’t speak English. Despite this language barrier, they began dating and learned to communicate with one another. A skill that The Voice Coach would use when he asked her to marry him.
Read on to learn all about the thoughtful way Bublé proposed to Lopilato over a decade ago and how she reacted when he asked her that special question.

How did Michael Bublé propose to his wife Luisana Lopilato?
When Bublé proposed to Lopilato in November 2009, a lot of thought and preparation went into how he’d pop the question.
First, as he shared with Cosmopolitan in 2014, he had learned Spanish to better communicate with her and also asked her father for his blessing. And when he was ready to ask her to marry him, he did so in front of her family in Argentina.
“I was so nervous before I asked my wife to marry me. It was the scariest decision of my life,” he told the magazine. “I did it in front of her family, who are Argentinian, and I’d learnt Spanish specially. That was the scariest part — being in front of them and asking her father’s permission beforehand.”
Lopilato recalled in a 2012 interview with The Mail on Sunday that she was caught off guard when Bublé asked her, in Spanish, to marry him as they were having dinner with her whole family.
“We thought he was joking and he said, still in Spanish, ‘No, really. I really want to marry you,’ and then he took out the ring and gave it to me,” she said. “I still thought he was joking. Then I noticed that my mother was crying, my sister was crying, even my father was crying, and I thought, ‘This is real because my father never cries.’ So I started to cry too. I loved that he proposed that way — I am a family girl and it was perfect that he said it in front of them.”
The lovebirds had kept their engagement a secret for two months before Bublé’s rep confirmed the news to the media, who said in a statement at the time, “They’re ecstatic. They’re adorable, in love and laugh all day long.”
Michael Bublé and Luisana Lopilato got married in 2011
Bublé and Lopilato got married on March 31, 2011 in a civil ceremony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, their first of three weddings that year where the actress wore a stunning lilac purple dress.
In the following weeks and months, the couple hosted another larger wedding in Argentina and one more in Vancouver where they celebrated with their friends and families. In 2011, Bublé told Entertainment Tonight Canada, per The Toronto Star, that having multiple wedding celebrations brought their families together and was “just another excuse to celebrate our love, have a few drinks, and to dance all night.” Indeed, Bublé said they “danced ‘til 7 a.m.” at their Argentinian reception.
