2024-12-03

Daddy Yankee, the renowned Puerto Rican rapper (born Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez), and his wife Mireddys González have recently gone through a significant life event - the end of their nearly 30-year marriage. On Monday, Dec. 2, through his Instagram Stories, the "Dura" singer shared a statement confirming this heart-wrenching news. He and González, both 47, had tied the knot in March 1995.

Respect and Honesty in a Difficult Time

In a message translated from Spanish, Daddy Yankee expressed with a heart full of respect and honesty, "After more than two decades of marriage and after many months of trying to save my marriage, which my wife and I share, today my lawyers responded to the divorce petition received from Mireddys." He wrote about his high school sweetheart and continued, "I respect Mireddys' decision. I appreciate the time we shared full of blessings and values, of love and with a beautiful family that will continue to be our priority." This is not an easy time for him, but he understands that it is part of his life process and it is time to "accept and continue."

Thoughts on Their Family

Giving a mention to their two kids - daughter Jesaaelys, 28, and son Jeremy, 26 (he also has another daughter, Yamilet, from a previous relationship) - the musician emphasized, "Protect my stability, my children and everything built over so many years. I deeply thank those who have accompanied us during this journey and I ask that you respect our privacy in this process. I know that this news may surprise many."

Looking Back on Their Relationship

Although the couple has kept their relationship fairly private through the years, in 2022, when speaking to People en Español, Daddy Yankee called his family "the most beautiful thing" in his life. He added, "My wife and my children are my treasure, the reason why I work day after day to try to give them a better life, to make a legacy for them, so that they do not have the difficulties that I have gone through in this life."

Early Days and Personal Insights

It is known that the former couple were thought to have dated for several years before getting married. In 2017, Daddy Yankee had previously told Billboard that González was in love with "Raymond Ayala. She's not in love with DY." He further stated, "Once you become a superstar, it's very difficult to find a real, real woman. I met her before I was Daddy Yankee so she's the right one."
