Gemeny Hernandez was arrested in Miami on October 28, facing charges of robbery and battery following an altercation involving her partner, Emily Estefan, the daughter of renowned musician Gloria Estefan. The couple has been in a committed relationship since 2016, sharing both personal and professional endeavors, including their podcast “In Our Own World,” launched in 2022.
According to an arrest affidavit from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Department, the incident escalated over a dispute concerning a cellphone. The affidavit describes events leading to Hernandez allegedly forcefully taking the device from Emily’s hand and striking her with it. A struggle ensued, after which Emily managed to conceal the phone. The argument culminated in Hernandez allegedly grabbing the phone again, resulting in physical confrontation on the floor. Emily subsequently contacted emergency services to report the incident, which left her with minor injuries, including a bruise on her eye and scratches on her neck.
While Hernandez denied directly taking the cellphone during an interview, she acknowledged her involvement in the altercation. Following her arrest, Hernandez was released on a $3,000 bond. A representative for the Estefan family has not commented publicly on the situation, and Hernandez has not responded to requests for further comment.
The couple often shares moments from their life together on social media and attends events as a pair, showcasing their bond to fans and the public. An Instagram post from November 2024, in which Hernandez reflected on their relationship, highlighted the depth of their connection, celebrating nearly eight years of love and partnership.
As the couple navigates this challenging moment, it’s a reminder of the complexities that can arise in any relationship. Those in similar situations are encouraged to seek help and support.
