While Gloria Estefan was guest
cohosting the Today show
Friday, she told a story about how her husband, Emilio Estefan, once walked in
on the Pope in the bathroom.
The Cuban-born singer
joined Al Roker and Sheinelle Jones behind the
anchor desk to discuss Amy Schumer's recent good deed when
she borrowed a mattress store's bathroom and surprised the helpful employee by
buying her the best mattress.
Gloria then said her
craziest bathroom story was having to pull over at a toll plaza on the way to
the airport in Mexico.
But then she one-upped
that with an even crazier tale from her music producer husband, who first rose
to fame by her side when they were both in Miami Sound Machine. “He ended
up in the bathroom with the Pope in the Vatican by mistake,” she began.
“We were waiting to
meet the Pope back in 1995. I had performed for him in the Vatican and Emilio
had been — poor thing — not able to go for two, three hours for security,” the
seven-time Grammy winner said on NBC. “We get in line for the Pope and he goes,
‘I have to go, I have to go.’”
“I go, ‘Babe, you
can’t. Stay. We’re in line for the Pope,'” she continued of preparing to meet Pope John Paul II. But nature called
a bit too loudly and Emilio couldn’t wait any longer.
“So he escapes and
asks somebody for directions,” Estefan said. “He turned the wrong way and opens
a door and who’s waiting there? The Pope.”
Caught in the awkward
situation, Emilio reacted on instinct. “He says he didn’t know what to say, so
he looks at him and goes, ‘God bless you,’” she said.
Amused by how her
husband, who she married in 1978, handled the situation, Estefan says she told
him, “I think he’s got that covered.”
