Music news

Daddy Yankeethe famous reggaeton player, and his wife Mireddys González have announced their separation after almost three decades of marriage. The news has caused quite a stir, not only because of the duration of their relationship, but also because of the financial implications of the divorce. It is estimated that Daddy Yankee's fortune amounts to $300 million, making this divorce one of the most expensive in the world of Latin entertainment.

Several media outlets in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic have even speculated that the final figure, taking into account the performer's assets, could be around $400 million. However, it will have to be a judge who determines what is going to be distributed and how it is going to be done in this case that is marking the social and current chronicle related to the artist.

Because in the last few hours it has emerged that Daddy Yankee would have sued his still wife, accusing her of having allegedly made unauthorized transfers from her corporate accounts in the amount of 100 million dollars. This situation has further complicated the divorce process, since both shared responsibilities in the artist's companies, including the record label 'El Cartel Records'.

The couple did not have a prenuptial agreement, which means that under Puerto Rico law, assets acquired during the marriage must be divided equally. This includes not only cash, but also properties, investments and other assets linked to Daddy Yankee's companies.

Despite the seriousness of the accusations, both have handled the process with discretion. Daddy Yankee issued a statement confirming the separation and asking for respect for her privacy, while Mireddys González has maintained a low profile on social networks.

“With a heart full of respect and honesty, I want to share important news about my personal life. 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 respond to the divorce petition received from Mireddys. My faith in Christ has been my refuge at all times, and was a constant guide as we try to overcome our differences. I respect Mireddys' decision and am grateful for 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 moment, but I understand that it is part of my life process. It is up to me to accept and continue to protect my stability, my children and everything built over so many years.
