Bruno Mars' enduring music career has been accompanied by his long-term girlfriend, Jessica Caban, whom he met over a decade ago in a New York City hotel restaurant. Despite their fame, the couple has kept their relationship private, rarely sharing glimpses on social media.

The couple started dating in 2011, shortly after Mars released his debut album, and Caban moved from Harlem to Los Angeles to be closer to him.

Who is Jessica Caban?

Caban's own career in modeling took off with a boost from Jennifer Lopez, and she later won the first season of NuvoTV's Model Latina competition. She also ventured into acting, notably appearing in The CW's "Jane the Virgin" from 2016 to 2018.

Additionally, Caban launched her own swimwear line, J.Marie Swimwear, offering limited edition designs inspired by characters from the musical "West Side Story."

Despite their long-term commitment, Mars and Caban aren't in a hurry to walk down the aisle, with Mars considering Caban his best friend.

While they generally avoid public appearances, they've been spotted together at the Grammy Awards multiple times, with Mars expressing his love and gratitude for Caban during his acceptance speeches.

Problems in relationship

Amid reports of a strained relationship, the 41-year-old reportedly spent Christmas and New Year's apart from Mars.

"Bruno and Jessica barely spend time together anymore - it is really sad," a source told The Sun.

"They are living separate lives so it doesn't bode well for their relationship. It feels like things are fizzling out between them."
