A Friendship Turned Romantic
Navarro — who wore a white gown designed by Luis Escudero for Rene Ruiz Collection — has known Cardenas for more than 25 years, but the two only recently kindled a romance. “It wasn’t the right time back then, so we became very good friends through the years and through the decades," she explained. "Finally, things fell into place, things worked out and we’re able to be here today.”
