Lili Estefan's Sábado Gigante Throwbacks Will Give You All the Feels

With only one more day until the end of Saturday nights as we know them, Lili Estefan, also known as La Flaca from El Gordo y la Flaca, is feeling super nostalgic about the final episode of Sábado Gigante tomorrow, Sept. 19, and her Instagram feed proves it. Don Francisco (whose real name is Mario Kreutzberger) and Sábado Gigante played a huge role in launching her superstardom when they hired her in 1986 to be a model on the show, so we understand why she's feeling this way!

Twelve years after she started on the variety show, she landed the gig that made her a household name, but now that the show that started it all is coming to an end, Lili has been using her social media prowess to tug at our heartstrings with her #TBT photos and loving messages to Don Francisco. Keep reading to see photos of Lili looking fab back in the day, then find out the sweet gift her uncle Emilio Estefan gave her aunt Gloria for her birthday.
