Dapena became First Lady of Puerto Rico on January 2, 1965, when Sánchez Vilella was inaugurated as Governor of Puerto Rico.
In March 1967, an affair between Governor Roberto Sánchez Vilella and his 35-year old legislative aide, Jeannette Ramos Buonono, became public in a major political scandal.[2] Once the scandal broke, Governor Sánchez Vilella announced that he would seek a divorce from First Lady Conchita Dapena, ending their 31-year marriage, in order to marry Ramos.[2][3] Just two days after the divorce between Dapena and Sánchez Vilella was finalized, the Governor married Jeannette Ramos in a civil ceremony in October 1967.[2]
Sánchez Vilella's affair and divorce from First Lady Conchita Dapena is credited with ending his political career.[2][3] He announced that he would not seek a second term as governor.[2][3]
