Early life
[change | change source]Bublé was born in Burnaby, British Columbia in September 1975. His father is Lewis Bublé, a salmon fisherman. His mother is Amber (née Santagà).
From his earliest years, Bublé wanted to be a singer. He took an interest in jazz about the age of five.
As a boy, he had a great interest in hockey. He shared his interest with his father and grandfather. He played hockey but realized he was not good enough to be a professional player.
At the age of 14, he began working with his father on a fishing boat. Sometimes they would be away from home two or three months at a time. Bublé credits the hard work on the boat with making him a man.[2]
At age 16, Bublé began singing in nightclubs. His original stage name was "Mickey Bubbles".[3] He credits his Italian maternal grandfather with these opportunities. His grandfather traded his ability as a plumber for the chance to have his grandson appear on stage.
Personal life
[change | change source]Bublé became an Italian citizen in 2005.[4] He has been married to Argentine actress Luisana Lopilato since 2011.[5] They have three children (two sons and a daughter).[4]
In 2016, his eldest son, Noah, was diagnosed with cancer but was in remission two years later.[6]
