After more than two decades of marriage, the end of Daddy Yankee’s union with Mireddys González has finally been confirmed, closing a chapter that had long been whispered about but never publicly acknowledged. The Puerto Rican reggaeton star took to his Instagram to announce the divorce, implying that it was initiated by his wife. “After more than two decades of marriage and many months of trying to save our relationship, today my lawyers respond to the divorce petition filed by Mireddys,” Daddy Yankee, whose real name is Ramón Luis Ayala, wrote.

Daddy Yankee and Mireddys Call It Quits

Their separation comes after months of rumors and speculation within Puerto Rican celebrity circles. According to reports, the couple had been living separately for some time, with Daddy Yankee staying at a vacation home in Luquillo, once listed on Airbnb, while Mireddys resided in their primary home in Carolina. Despite the distance, the couple shares two children: Jeremy Ayala González and Jesaaelys Ayala González. 

The reggaeton legend, who famously pivoted away from urban music to embrace Christianity, shared his personal reflections on the difficult process. “My faith in Christ has been my refuge at all times, and it has been a constant guide while we tried to overcome our differences,” he said. The artist, known for his global hit “La Gasolina,” expressed respect for Mireddys’ decision and gratitude for the years they spent together. “I am thankful for the time we shared, filled with blessings and values, love, and a beautiful family that will continue to be our priority,” he added. 

Despite the emotional weight of the situation, Daddy Yankee stressed the importance of acceptance and moving forward. “This is not an easy moment, but I understand that it is part of my life process. I must accept it and continue. My priority is to protect my stability, my children, and all that we have built over so many years.” In closing, he requested privacy as the family navigates this transition. “I ask that you respect our privacy during this process,” he said. “These will be my only statements.” 

While the public details of the split remain limited, the underlying tension has been building for some time. Daddy Yankee’s quiet exit from the urban music scene and his deepened faith have marked a significant shift in his personal and professional life. As the couple moves forward separately, the focus remains on their children and the family unit that will continue to endure, despite the end of their marriage.
