Aitana shares birthday message for content creator Plex marking his 24th birthday

Birthday message and initial contact

Spanish singer Aitana marked the 24th birthday of content creator Daniel Alonso, known online as Plex, on 20 September 2026 with an open letter published on Instagram. The tribute coincided with the conclusion of the Spanish leg of her Cuarto Azul World Tour. The 27-year-old artist shared private photographs documenting their time together since 2025 alongside a message detailing the start of their romance. Aitana explained that her interest began when her cousin Jose told her about Alonso's project to travel around the world. Although she initially did not understand the project, she began watching his online videos every night to learn about him through a screen before their first direct contact.

Who would have told me, in 2025, that that boy I liked so much and who was going around the world was going to end up being my person.

Travel across Japan, Dominican Republic, and New York

The relationship developed across several international destinations during the production of Alonso's travel video series. Their first in-person interaction occurred in Japan in March 2025 after Aitana replied to one of his social media posts and subsequently invited him to the premiere of her documentary. The couple later met in the Dominican Republic and New York before returning to Spain. Aitana noted that the distance and travel schedule generated initial apprehension about whether their connection would remain the same once both individuals settled back in Madrid.

Who would have told me that everything was going to start in Japan, continue in the Dominican Republic, then New York, and that, between so many kilometres, so much desire and also that fear of thinking whether everything would be just as incredible when you returned to Madrid, you would end up becoming this for me: my best friend, my life companion, my person.

Public confirmation and stage appearances

Public speculation regarding the relationship began in the spring of 2025 following their initial travels together. Aitana confirmed the partnership in June 2025 by publishing a photograph alongside Alonso as part of her own birthday celebrations. While both sought to keep aspects of their personal lives private, they made several joint public appearances over the following months. In November 2025, the couple announced their relationship publicly, and Aitana dedicated a Latin Grammy award to him with the words "I love him with all my heart." Alonso later joined the singer on stage during one of her tour concerts in Madrid.

Social media changes and anniversary reflection

The birthday post followed recent adjustments to Aitana's social media accounts during her concert schedule. On 9 August 2026, the singer unfollowed more than 300 accounts on Instagram, removing former acquaintances and artistic colleagues. Among the removed accounts were those of her former partners, actor Miguel Bernardeau and singer Sebastián Yatra, which led to widespread discussion across Instagram and X. Aitana concluded her 20 September message by expressing appreciation for finding Alonso and reiterating her affection.

I love you, Daniel. I love you so much, and I love being able to say it to you every day, show it to you, and shout it from the four winds.
