Early life
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.
At age 16, Bublé began singing in nightclubs. He credits his Italian maternal grandfather with these opportunites. His grandfather traded his ability as a plumber for the chance to have his grandson appear on stage.
Personal Life
Bublé married Luisana Lopilato in March 2011 in Buenos Aires. Bublé co-wrote the hit single "Haven't Met You Yet" for Lopilato while they were dating and she appeared in his music video. The couple have two sons: Noah (born August 2013) and Elias (born January 2016). They also have one daughter, Vida (born July 2018).
