In interviews with Clarín and La Nación, he said he “lives openly and without shame.” He has not been married and does not have children.

Career

Ruiz launched his solo career in 1987 with the album “Pablo Ruiz”, which quickly gained popularity across Latin America and Spain. His 1988 follow-up, “Un Ángel”, contained the hit “¡Oh mamá! Ella me ha besado”, which made him an international teen idol.
He went on to release several successful albums in the 1980s and 1990s, including Océano (1989), Espejos Azules (1990), and Irresistible (1992).

His music blended Latin pop, dance, and romantic ballads, earning him millions of fans during the “golden era” of Latin teen pop. Though his fame declined in the mid-1990s, Ruiz continued performing. In the 2000s and 2010s, he re-emerged through Argentine reality shows, nostalgia tours, and new music like Renacer (2010) and Tu Nombre (2017).

In 2014, he claimed that Tame Impala’s “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards” resembled his 1989 hit “Océano”, which drew media attention.

In recent years, Ruiz has appeared in films such as Soy Inocente (2023) and on reality TV including MasterChef Celebrity Argentina (2022).
