Fanon
Félipa is the second most popular ship for the movie on AO3, reports state that it was more popular than Julistín at one point. Due to the fact that both couples are happily married, there's no animosity between the two ships.

Fans adore Pepa and Félix, even though they're fairly minor characters in comparison to Julieta's side of the family. A few people have compared them to a "brighter variant" of Gomez and Morticia Addams, as both Gomez and Félix are short and stout gentlemen who are completely in love with their tall and beautiful wives.

= Isariano = 

Isariano is the het ship between Isabela Madrigal and Mariano Guzmán

Canon
Isabela's beauty as the prefer golden child of her family caught the eye of Mariano Guzmán.

Fanon
Isariano is mostly seen as a crack ship even though Mariano was shown to have feelings for Isabela, who didn't feel the same way about him and was more than happy when he started to go out with Dolores. That is why there is very little support on this ship from people prefering to have them as friends or future in-laws.

= IsaBubo = 

IsaBubo is the het ship between Isabela Madrigal and Bubo Márquez

Canon
Bubo was a deleted character from the movie, showing up in multiple cut scenes, they only exist as voiced storyboards, meaning that the character didn't make the jump to test animations.

In the first deleted scene, Mirabel catches Isabela sneaking out of the house and soon finds out that she has a secret boyfriend. In order to not get caught sneaking onto the Madrigal's yard, Bubo was dressed up as a jaguar and covered himself in urine, to ward off predators. Isabela introduces Bubo to her sister, and two of them kiss passionately right in front of her. Isabela also tells Mirabel that she is planning to run away with Bubo as soon as the miracle dies out and the mountains across the Encanto break. Mirabel manages to talk the both of them out of it, as Isabela and Bubo are shown celebrating along with the rest of the family.

Further deleted scenes show that Isabela and Bubo making out would've been something of a running gag. Many of them show them kissing only for it to intensify, with the other Madrigals being at first moved by their romantic displays, but then growing more shocked/disgusted the longer it goes on.

Fanon
Reaction to the deleted scenes have been, at best, mixed. The most common argument is that Isabela running away due to being fed up with Alma forcing her to be the golden child of the family is a genuinely interesting idea that gives her a lot more depth as a character, but giving her a boyfriend to run away with feels more than a bit tacked on to that story. Many were glad that Bubo was scrapped, even those who normally enjoy the idea of an "ugly" man being in a relationship with a beautiful woman found that the make-out scenes did not endear him to them. Though for some others, Bubo being a male love interest for Isabela was more than enough to set them off, since many like to headcanon her as lesbian since she had zero interest in Mariano without the need of a "secret boyfriend". Others think that her simply choosing not to get married was powerful enough on its own, arguing that she doesn't need an excuse if marriage won't make her happy.

Because one of the concept art of Bubo made him look a bit like Agustín, it gave people a disturbing image of Isa making out with her father, giving them another reason to dislike the ship and mostly Bubo. Which is why some people have changed his appearance to help get that image out of their minds. There have also been people who have placed Bubo as a woman than a man, due to the lesbian Isabela headcannon.

With that said, the ship does have some fans who are hoping that Disney would find ways to bring Bubo back in future Encanto projects. Though many people are dreading the idea of Bubo making it back into the movie's canon in a sequel (like formally scrapped characters in Tangled: The Series), some are interested in the idea of "salvaging" Bubo's charactrer in some way. Some people hope, even if they don't have him and Isa as lovers, that they would at least be friends or simply acquaintance of sorts. The idea of him having an unrequited crush on Isabela, with his arc in the sequel being that he needs to move on from her, is decently popular.

Currently, the ship has 17 romantic fanfics on AO3 and a single platonic one, making IsaBubo a rarepair.

= Julistín = 

Julistín is the het ship between Julieta Madrigal and Agustín Madrigal

Canon
Official backstory for the characters states that both Agustín's and Félix's birth families live in the Encanto that Julieta's mother Alma created with the miracle. Abuela Alma initially wasn't very happy about Julieta choosing Agustín as her son-in-law, with her needing to warm up to him. With Agustín being accident-prone, it made it hard for him to win his mother-in-law over.

According to Jared Bush, Agustín being accident-prone is the reason how he met his wife, the town healer, in the first place. He visited her so much that they eventually fell in love.

Along before Jared Bush confirmed it, people had always suspected that Agustín was one of Julieta's regulars, with him being accident-prone and her serving as their town's healer. In a few dramas doctors and patients have developed feelings for one another, and that is why people feel that this theme relates to them. Julieta healing him with the food she makes also references an old saying; the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

= MiraAlma = 

MiraAlma is the family ship between Mirabel Madrigal and Alma Madrigal.

Alma was shown to be close with Mirabel when she was a child and was existed to see what her gift might be, just as Mirabel couldn't wait to have a magic power of her own and use it to help the community like the rest of their. On the night of the gift ceremony Alma shows Mirabel the candle that is the vessel of the miracle that has blessed their family years ago and then tells her youngest granddaughter how they received it. When it was time for the ceremony Alma tells Mirabel that she is a marvel and that she'll make their family proud. Only to see the door of what could have been Mirabel's room disappear after she touched the doorknob, while the candle flickered like it was about to go out.

Even though Alma kept telling Mirabel to stay out of the way and to not do anything that would end up harming the Madrigal's perfect image.

Fanon
Because of the way Alma treated Mirabel for a large part of the 2021 film, people prefer to focus on their mended bond rather than the nature of their previous relationship. Of Alma treating Mirabel as an outcast for lacking a gift and how it keeps her youngest granddaughter from reaching her perfect standers.

There has been an AU that has Mirabel as the female incarnation of Alma's late husband, Pedro.
