Miami, FL - Cuban-American artist gemeny Hernández, partner of singer Emily Estefan, was arrested Tuesday in miami on charges of robbery with violence and minor assault, stemming from an alleged domestic violence incident, according to a police report and court documents obtained by EFE. Estefan is the daughter of music icons Gloria and Emilio Estefan.
Hernández, 31, and Estefan have been in a relationship for approximately eight years and live together. The police report states the alleged victim told authorities Hernández “snatched her cell phone from her hand and hit her with it.” She reportedly suffered minor injuries, including a bruise to the left eye and scratches to the right side of the neck. After a struggle, the victim recovered her phone and called 911.
During an interview with the Robbery Investigations Bureau, Hernández “denied directly taking the phone from the victim” but “admitted to participating in the physical confrontation.” He was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Centre and released after posting $3,000 bail, according to the Miami-Dade County database.
Estefan and Hernández are openly a same-sex couple and co-hosts of the podcast ”In Our Own World,” which has not released new episodes since April. The arrest adds a layer of complexity to the couple’s public image, as they have frequently shared their lives on social media and openly discussed themes of identity and diversity.
