Cassie Pérez is 25 years old, born on the 23rd of December 1998 in Corpus Christi, Texas. Her background is a mix of Mexican-American.

While playing together, Chris and Selena also commenced a romantic relationship. This drew the ire of her relatives and threatened to scuttle their musical activities.

This dream was sadly cut short when Selena was murdered by the president of her fan club, Yolanda Saldivar, in 1995. Selena’s death sent Chris Pérez spiraling and it took him a long time to recover.
