Personal life
A magazine published photos of Chávez signing papers and exchanging rings with another man, allegedly his Canadian boyfriend (later identified as B.J.) Murphy leads Chávez out of the picture. The photos were taken in 2005, the year in which same-sex marriages became legal in Canada. Because the wedding did not include immediate family, there was a lot of rumors about how the photos were obtained.
Chávez, who denied rumors of homosexuality in 2006, revealed in a message posted on RBD's website in March 2007 that the photographs depicted a portion of him he had not been able to discuss before.
Chavez's official decision to come out of the closet was misinterpreted by many outlets as Chavez's official call to come out of the closet, and there have been international headlines owing to Mexico's traditionally conservative roots. Chavez has been dubbed the first high-profile figure in Mexican showbiz to come out.
Chávez said in an interview with Televisa, less than three months after his departure, that the decision allowed him to "begin a healing process in which I left everything behind and started many wonderful things."
People en Espaol reported that Chavez and then-husband BJ Murphy had a physically invasive relationship that Chavez denied.
Chávez was arrested in May 2007 for reportedly purchasing marijuana in New York City. Chavez apologised later.
Chávez and Murphy announced in 2009 that they were seeking a divorce. Chávez denied that the reason for their break had been based on rumors, but Chávez maintained that their friendship did not end on bad terms: "[Murphy] is a person I love and admire; I also admire him as a professional."
Chávez revealed that he was dating Los Angeles real estate agent Ben Kruger after pictures of them together were published in the tabloid TV Notas and later People en Espaol.
Chávez and Kruger were arrested in late April 2013 in Beverly Hills, California, after breaking up with Kruger for suspected domestic violence. Chávez was accused of hurling a cinder block at the apartment by a skylight. Charges relating to the late April shooting were later dismissed due to a lack of evidence, as Chávez and Kruger blamed each other.
Chávez's Twitter account shared several photos of his bloodied hands in what seemed to be a suicide attempt in October 2013. Chavez is reportedly back from Los Angeles to Mexico immediately after beginning a rehabilitation program. Chávez posted a video of himself on October 10, 2013, where he admitted that he had attempted suicide and that the photographs he had posted were genuine.
Latin Times published a letter written by Kruger a few months before he was arrested with Chávez a few months ahead. Kruger accused Chávez of several instances of lying and infidelity, as well as accusing members of the media of colluding with Chavez and failing to provide fair coverage. In addition, Kruger said Chavez was still married to Murphy for the duration of Chávez's marriage to Kruger, although Chávez did not have enough financial resources to begin divorce litigation.
Chávez revealed in 2015 that within seconds after posting the images, his former bandmate and close friend Anah rushed to his apartment and "saved his life."
Maico Kemper, a Dutch makeup artist, came forward with domestic violence charges, claiming he ended their marriage after a tense debate in which Christian smashing a bottle of tequila over his head and losing consciousness. Images of the accident were posted on the internet. Christians denied the charges and accused Kemper of slander.
