Lili Estefan

Lili Estefan (born March 20, 1967 in Cuba) is a famous well known Cuban-American model and show host. She is the niece of music producer Emilio Estefan and the niece-in-law of singer Gloria Estefan.

Estefan first came to the spotlight in 1986, when she was hired by Univision to participate as a model at Sábado Gigante. Alongside Don Francisco, Estefan quickly became both a public favorite and a favorite of the show host himself (even appearing on his own "Don Francisco Presenta" on many occasions), as he admitted in his autobiography released in 2002.

In 1998, she was hired to work at Univision's new project, El Gordo y la Flaca. She and Raul De Molina share the cameras in this show, where much gossip is given about Hispanic entertainers from Mondays to Fridays. The show allowed Estefan to visit such Latin American countries as Mexico and Puerto Rico several times. Estefan, nicknamed La Flaca (The Thin Girl) in the show, has also been able to interview several Hispanic show business legends. Although she has basically been able to stay off controversy during her seven years as host of the show, Estafan was always involved in the infamous last interview that Patty Navidad gave to El Gordo y La Flaca. e The show's name references Laurel and Hardy's large and small physique: El Gordo y El Flaco.

Estefan married Lorenzo Luaces on 23 August 1992. Together they have 2 children: son Lorenzo Jr(b.30 oct 99) and daughter Lina Teresa (b.2 Aug 02). Father Alberto Cutie baptized her second child^{[citation needed]}.

Estefan also covered the funeral of Celia Cruz live as part of her television show.
