In 1995, his tribute to Mexico's beloved Trio Los Panchos, Recordando A Los Panchos, earned him considerable acclaim and produced two major hits, "Miseria" and "No, No, Y No."
He owns and primarily lives in a huge ranch named 'Los Tres Potrillos" located between the cities of Guadalajara and Chapala Jalisco, Mexico. It was named after his three sons. It is complete with stables, 2 houses, a lake, high bred horses and a church. During Christmas time thousands of children go to this ranch where hundreds of thousands of dollars in Christmas gifts are given out.
He loves miniature horses and has bred them at his ranch, where he even has some as small as 6 inches.
In 2005, Fernández and his sons, Alejandro and Vicente Jr., made history by becoming the first Latin American singers to appear as cartoons in a video, for Vicente Sr.'s song, Al Mayor de los Fernandez (To the Oldest Fernández), dedicated to Vicente Sr.'s father.
Vicente has been married to Maria del Refugio Abarca Villaseñor since December 27, 1963. He has three sons with her: Vicente Jr, Gerardo, and Alejandro. His fans and the media refer to him as "Chente", a diminutive of his name out of affection but in interviews and events he is also addressed as Don Vicente out of respect. In Mexico he is referred to as "El Rey" (the king) and as "El Charro de Huentitán" (the Charro of Huentitan). His wife is affectionately known as Doña Cuca. Vicente, just like his son Alejandro, is notorious for being a ladies man and is often called a Don Juan. [1]
Vicente was involved in a scandal when it was made public that he had maintained a relation for ten years with Patricia Rivera, whom he met in 1977 while filming "El Arracadas". Years later she declared that her son, Pablo Rodrigo, was a product of that relation and Vicente recognized the son as his, giving him the Fernandez name. Afterwards DNA testing proved that Pablo was not his son.[2]
In 2004, while in concert in Miami's American Airlines Arena, Vicente had to pay $30,000 USD for having gone over the original scheduled time for the concert. He sang for three hours some of his all time hits as well as songs from his then new album "Se Me Hizo Tarde la Vida".[3]
Vicente has a star in Hollywood's Walk of Fame and his ceremony there was attended by over 5,000 people, breaking all previous attendance records.[4]
Vicente retired in 2016 in a massive concert in Estadio Azteca, Mexico city.
He fell from a horse in his rancho in august 2021, causing a rapid decline in his health. Vicente Fernandez, one of the greatest mexicans to ever live, passed away on December 12, 2021, from complications related to his fall.

Mujeres Divinas -
Vicente Fernández Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se fueron consumiendo las botellas
Pidieron que cantara mis canciones
Y yo canté unas dos en contra de ellas
De pronto que se acerca un caballero
Su pelo ya pintaba algunas canas
Me dijo "le suplico compañero
Le dije que nosotros simplemente
Hablamos de lo mal que nos pagaron
Que si alguien opinaba diferente
Sería porque jamás lo traicionaron
Que si alguien opinaba diferente
Sería porque jamás lo traicionaron
Me dijo yo soy uno de los seres
Que más ha soportado los fracasos
Y siempre me dejaron las mujeres
Llorando y con el alma hecha pedazos
Mas nunca les reprocho mis heridas
Se tiene que sufrir cuando se ama
Las horas más hermosas de mi vida
Las he pasado al lado de una dama
Pudiéramos morir en las cantinas
Y nunca lograríamos olvidarlas
Mujeres, oh mujeres tan divinas
No queda otro camino que adorarlas
Mujeres, oh mujeres tan divinas
No queda otro camino que adorarlas
Vicente Fernández's "Mujeres Divinas" is a song about the beauty and complexity of women, and how men often find themselves caught between their love for women and the pain of betrayal. The song begins with the singer talking about women and betrayals, and how they consumed bottles of alcohol while requesting him to sing his songs. However, he sings a couple of songs against them. Suddenly, a man with some grey hair approached him and asked him not to talk about women in his presence.
The singer explains that they were just talking about how badly they had been treated by women and that if someone had a different opinion, it was probably because they had never been betrayed. The older man then tells his story of how he has been left heartbroken by women many times, but he never blames them for his heartbreak. As he says, "Se tiene que sufrir cuando se ama" (you have to suffer when you love).
