Jaci Velasquez and Nic Gonzalez – Interview From: christianitytoday.com

At risk of sounding stereotypical, it seemed only natural that Jaci Velasquez and Salvador’s Nic Gonzalez would end up marrying and starting a family together. Not only are both Christians and Latinos, but they’re also among the biggest proponents of their individual music styles—she in the realm of Christian pop, he the frontman of Christian music’s premier Latin pop/rock band. But the relationship was not a smooth one, initially. The two dated several years ago, only to break up and go their separate ways—Velasquez got into what she now calls an “accidental” first marriage while Gonzalez kept busy focusing on touring. In 2006, the pair reconnected and, picking up right where they left off all those years ago, tied the knot in a small wedding in the groom’s hometown of Austin, Texas. Today, the couple resides in Nashville, celebrating a trio of recent projects: the release of their respective albums—Velasquez’s Love Out Loud (A’postrophe) and Salvador’s Aware (Word)—as well as the birth of their first baby boy, Zealand David. The young Latin lovers talked to Christian Music Today about their new season in life together and what effect it’s had on their creativity.”*
