Jesse & Joy to Split: Everything We Know

Jesse & Joy will go their separate ways.

The decision was made by Jesse Huerta, who surprised his fans — and his own sister — a week ago with a post in which he shared his personal reasons for leaving the duo he’s been part of for 21 years, achieving great success — including six Latin Grammy Awards.

“This has not been an easy decision,” admitted the musician and producer in an Instagram post on Sept.

15.

“Music and this art are part of every second of my life and always will be, but today I understand that I need to prioritize my well-being and my family.” Almost a week after the unexpected announcement, Joy — the main vocalist of the popular Mexican pop duo — has stated that she will continue the project solo.

She first hinted at it in a message posted Tuesday (Sept.

22) on her social media and later confirmed it during a press conference, where the singer-songwriter spoke for the first time about her brother’s decision.

Through tears, Joy told the press that she leaned about Jesse’s decision just 20 minutes before he posted the message on his personal Instagram account.

“I found out minutes before you all did,” said the artist, visibly emotional.

“I’m still processing; it’s too much information.

He has his motives, his reasons.

All I can do is respect them.

I haven’t been able to speak with him.

I love my brother deeply.” Joy admitted to feeling scared after her brother’s announcement but confirmed that she will honor the commitments previously scheduled for this year and 2027.
