On Tuesday, October 8, 2023, the Aguilar family celebrated Ángela's 21st birthday, the youngest daughter of renowned singer Pepe Aguilar and his wife Aneliz. The day was filled with an outpouring of love and well-wishes from hundreds of fans, and even Ángela's husband, Christian Nodal, surprised her with a beautiful display of roses amidst a backdrop of fireworks.

At nightfall, Pepe Aguilar shared an emotional video in tribute to his daughter, adding a touching personal touch to the already unique day. "A special year in which you have shown work, effort, and a lot of courage," can be read in the clip, which shows some moments in which his daughter made headlines, as well as videos of her in her presentations, photoshoots, music videos, and more.

With the song "Pajarito Colibrí," by Natalia Lafourcade, Pepe added: "In addition to saying 'Congratulations,' I want to express to you what you make me feel: pride, admiration and all my love," he continued. "Congratulations, daughter. In heart and spirit, your mother and I send you all the best. Greetings and congratulations!"

This marked one of a father's happiest and saddest moments as he embraced the natural progression of his daughter's life. He added to the video, "My beloved daughter, congratulations on your 21st birthday✨ We are very proud of you."
