From the very beginning, during her days as the drummer of Selena y Los Dinos, to signing on to executive produce Netflix's Selena: The Series [1], Suzette Quintanilla has never wavered from being the supportive big sister to Tejano music sensation Selena. The 53-year-old has go on to honour her late sister in every way imaginable, including fulfiling Selena's dream of starting a makeup line as well as running the Selena Museum [2] in Corpus Christi, TX. Similar to her brother, Abraham "A.B." Quintanilla III [3], Suzette (played by Noemí González) has found herself as one of the many familial storylines in the two-part limited series.

In episode eight of Selena: The Series, which premiered on Dec. 4, viewers got a first look at Suzette and Bill Arriaga [4]'s (played by Christian Escobar) love story. The couple married in 1993 and five years later, in 1998, welcomed their only child and son, Jovan Arriaga. While the 22-year-old never got to meet his aunt, Suzette shared in a social media post how much Jovan reminds her of Selena: "[he] carries my sister's smile [5]." Because Jovan is private on social media, we don't know much, but from what we can gather on his girlfriend's profile [6], it seems like he's doing well!
