The Cast of RBD – Where Are They Now?

RBD announced that they are returning to the stage, 18 years after the release of the television and musical project that created the band. “Soy Rebelde World Tour’‘ is the name of the international tour that will bring five of the six members back to the stage singing their greatest hits such as “Nuestro Amor,” “Sólo Quédate en Silencio,” and “Sálvame.”

To help boost the show “Rebelde,” which ran for three seasons, its producers came up with the idea of creating a musical group made up of some of its most popular characters. And thus, RBD, an abbreviation of ReBelDe, was born. They were a success worldwide, releasing many songs and albums, as well as touring all around the globe, before disbanding in 2009.

Even though they started releasing new music in 2020, their official return will begin this August, when they will perform in several cities in Mexico, Brazil, and the US.  However, fans will notice that the band is missing one of its members- Alfonso Herrera won’t be taking part in the show, citing irreconcilable differences between him and the group. But, what have the remaining members been up to all these years?

The Cast of RBD

Dulce María

Dulce María, who played Roberta Prado in Rebelde, is now 37 years old. The actress appeared in different soap operas and Mexican movies after leaving RBD. She then returned to music, releasing several albums and composing songs for soap operas. During the COVID-19 lockdown, Dulce María published “Más Tuya Que Mía,” the first single from her fourth solo record production. In addition, she published a book of poems that, for several weeks, was among the 10 best sellers in Mexico. Married to producer Paco Álvarez, she became a mother for the first time in 2020 to her daughter María Paula.

Anahí

Anahí, who is now 39 years old, continued her career as a solo artist, and, after parting ways with RBD, she released two albums entitled “Mi Delirio,” in 2009, and “Inesperado,” in 2016. The actress, who played Mia Colucci in the tv series, also starred in different soap operas and movies and is a composer, businesswoman, and model. She also created her own website called An by Anahí, where she provides advice on nutrition, fitness, and yoga. She married Mexican politician Manuel Velasco Coello, and together they have two children, Manuel and Emiliano. She also released a book where she speaks about her motherhood.

Maité Perroni

Maite Perroni, 39, played Guadalupe “Lupita” Fernández in Rebelde. In 2012, she published his first single titled “Te Daré Mi Corazón” and, a year later, released her solo album “Eclipse de Luna.” She has also managed to work in different soap operas such as Cachito de Cielo, La Gata, and Papá a Toda Madre. However, she became a global success after starring in the Amazon Prime Video series El Juego de Llaves and the Netflix series Oscuro Deseo. She married producer Andrés Tovar in 2022 and is currently expecting their first child.

Christopher Uckermann

After separating from the group, Uckermann, who played Diego Bustamante on the show, began his career as a solo recording artist and released the song “Light Up The World Tonight.” Later, he had a starring role in “Kdabra.” In 2010, he released his first album “Somos” and went on a short musical tour in Brazil. Ten years later, in 2020, he published his fourth album “Sutil Universo.” The now 36 year-old actor also appeared in “Soltera Codiciada,” “El hubiera sí existe,” and was the protagonist of the telenovela “Diablero.”

Christian Chávez

After Rebelde, where he played Giovanni Méndez, came to an end, Christian Chávez released his first single called “¿En Dónde Estás?” and the album “Almas Transparentes.” In recent years, he has acted in the movie “En las Buenas y en las Malas,” as well as in the series “La Casa de las Flores,” which launched on Netflix.

Now 39, his life has been anything but easy. After coming out as gay in 2007, he was married for two years. During the following years, he was arrested for marijuana possession, fainted during a concert, was arrested again for “attempted murder” against his boyfriend, and even attempted suicide after battling with depression. His last relationship ended in 2020 after he supposedly hit his partner with a bottle.

What happened with Alfonso Herrera?

As previously mentioned, the 39-year-old actor who played Miguel Arango in “Rebelde” is not returning for the tour. He didn’t even attend Anahí and Dulce María’s respective weddings or the cast’s reunion. Even though there are rumors of tension between some of the former bandmates, others have stated that he is no longer interested in singing and dancing on stage.

After his participation on the show, Alfonso Herrera appeared in several television series such as “El Equipo,” “El Diez,” “La Reina del Sur,” and “Sense8.” However, his most relevant role came a couple years later when he starred in the global hit and award-winning series “Ozark.” He has also participated in plays such as “Nadando con Tiburones” and the movie “Me Casé Con un Idiota.” In recent years, the actor has been highly committed to humanitarian activities and is an ambassador of the “Va Por Mi Cuenta” campaign, which offers healthy food to children in vulnerable situations in Mexico. He married Diana Vázquez and had two children, Daniel and Nicolás, but the couple later divorced.
