In the beginning of March 2007, Chávez was pictured signing documents and exchanging rings with a man (the pictures had been taken in 2005, the year in which gay marriages became legal in Canada). Chávez said in March 2007, the photos showed a part of him that he had not been willing to discuss previously for fear of rejection, of criticism, but especially because of his family and the consequences being gay would bring.[1][2]
On 30 March 2007, after Chávez's announcement of being gay, Ricky Martín told The Associated Press of his solidarity with Chávez's public declaration, saying, "Life is too short to live closed up, guarding what you say...(Chávez) has to be free in many aspects. I wish him much strength."[3]
In 2007 the singer was arrested for attempting to buy a marijuana cigarette in New York, he apologized for the event, later his band members would make a statement giving him their support even though he had made a mistake.
In February 2008, Chávez fainted during an RBD concert in San Salvador, El Salvador. He was taken to a local hospital where he was treated for dehydration.
