Relationship Overview[]

In life, Imelda and Héctor fell in love with the music they played and filled their home, Héctor would play guitar while Imelda sang. Around the time they had their daughter, Coco, Imelda wanted to settle down and plant their roots, Héctor however chose to follow his dream of playing his music to the world and left his family with his partner and friend, Ernesto de la Cruz. During their trip Héctor felt homesick and felt that it was about time that he headed home to his wife and child, Ernesto however needed his friend's songs and poisoned Héctor so he could get a hold of his song book and guitar, what was a gift to Héctor from Imelda. Since Imelda was unaware of Héctor's death through the long years without him in their lives, she began to believe that her husband had abandon them; so to save herself from pain she ban music from her family's life and opened their family shoemaking business.

When Imelda's soul came to the Land of the Dead, she refused to see or speak to Héctor as she was still angry at him for leaving her to raise Coco on her own. That was until their great-great-grandson, Miguel Rivera reviled the truth of Héctor's death to Imelda and how his murder and dying before her was the reason why he didn't come back to them. While Imelda was still mad at Héctor for choosing his dream over her and Coco, in the first place, she agrees to help him and Miguel to retrieve Héctor's photo from Ernesto so he can see their daughter. As Imelda bumped into Ernesto, Héctor heard her saying that he is the love of her life while she used her shoe to wreck Ernesto across his face as payback for killing him, as it was proof that she still loves him. Even reliving a moment of her singing while Héctor plays brought them closer together, again.

By the next Dia de los Muertos, the two have reconnected as Héctor is finally welcomed back into the clan. Héctor and Imelda share a kiss before reuniting with Coco and later danced together while visiting their living relatives in the Land of the Living.
