Find out how and to what extent Mireddyss is responsible for cementing her husband’s career that dominates the music charts. Along the way, read about her line of work, the personal side of the union between Gonzalez and singer Despacito, and beyond.
What Does Daddy Yankee’s Wife, Mireddys Gonzalez Do?
Mireddys, born on 19 January 1977, was formerly the CEO/Manager of her husband’s company El Cartel Records.
Gonzalez, who also has a brother, Milton, and whose hometown is San Juan, Puerto Rico, has been the CEO of El Cartel Records since 2001.
Gonzalez currently owns a company called Hi Body with her friend Michelle Matos. It offers products related to weight loss.
Mireddisa, now 44, says that the idea for this business came to her after she lost 23 kilos using Hi Body products. Together with her partner Matos, Yanke’s wife runs the initiative to motivate other women.
In early 2022, Matos and Gonzalez launched a campaign of sorts on social media called “The real boss is you”. Through this movement, they promote products focused on women’s health. Together with Matos, Mireddisa also advocates mental health.
Mireddys Gonzalez And Daddy Yankee Have Been Together Since They Were Teenagers
Yanqui and Gonzalez have been together since they were 17 years old and are parents of three children together.
Ramón Ayala and Mireddys González were married in March 1994, when both were still in their teens. Mireddys and Ayala reportedly began dating in high school. This was before Yanke’s musical career started.
Their first child, a daughter, Yamilette Ayala González, was born when the San Juan-born rapper was only 17 years old. The couple’s other two children are Jeremy Ayala González and Jesaaelys Ayala González. Jesaaelys, who is now in her 20s, works as a make-up artist and is also a YouTube star.
During the early years of their marriage, Mireddys and the Villa Kennedy Housing Projects family lived with their children in the Isla Verde beach area.
Dad Yankee and his wife also made sure that their then-young children were out of the limelight – most of the time.
Daddy Yankee And His Wife Mireddys Likes To Keep Their Matters Private
Despite being in a relationship for more than two decades, the CEO and the winner of five Latin Grammy Awards have kept their love affair completely secret most of the time.
Although González usually keeps quiet about her personal life, she often shares her husband’s many achievements on social media. Although “Big Boss” has given several interviews during his career, he has rarely mentioned his private life and has always said that he chooses to keep quiet because he considers his family a “treasure”.
However, in a 2006 interview with María Celeste Arrarás for Al Rojo Vivo, he made an exception and talked about his wife and children.
“I was in those moments when no one believed in me, I didn’t know what the future held for me. She sought me out for who she was, for my essence, I was dealing with leg trauma, my frustrations and suddenly music came into my life and changed everything”,
said the winner of two Billboard Music Awards in an interview with Al Rojo Alive.
In 2006, Times 100 explained that the reason for the longevity of his union with González is that they are great friends and trust is above all relationships.
Mireddys Gonzalez’s Husband Says All His Achievements Are Because Of His Wife
Singer Gasolina says he has always been supported by his partner Mireddys González, with whom he has lived for more than 25 years.
The hat-wearer has said more than once that his wife’s unconditional support over the years has been the key to his success. Yankee affirms that his wife González has been with him from the very beginning and deserves the best.
His dad says that his wife also helps him to keep his feet on the ground. The Latin American couple also has a matching crown tattoo on their left arm.
Why Mireddys Gonzalez Doesn’t Go To Awards Show With Her Husband?
It is quite clear that Ayala prefers not to talk about his life outside of music; especially his wife and children.
He also has a habit of attending red carpets without his family present. And since the rapper usually attends award ceremonies alone, fans have often wondered why he never goes out with his wife of more than two decades, Mireddis Gonzales.
They are also rarely photographed together, except for the occasional Instagram post. This is why some criticized Mireddis for not accompanying her artist husband. Some people called her out for not attending the 2018 Latin American AMAs, where Daddy Yankee received the Icon Award.
Later, Gonzalez, who is quite active on social media as “La Jefa”, took the time to respond to such comments and said,
“I’m here. But I’m where I am supposed to be because the star is Daddy Yankee. I feel happy watching him shine from my place.”
The mother of three has also previously defended her marriage, sharing a post on Instagram which read: “I am his wife,
“Your relationship does not need to make sense to anyone, except you and your husband. It’s a relationship, not a community project.”
Did Daddy Yankee Cheat On Mireddys?
What’s more, social media campaigner Mireddys also once reacted to rumors that Despacito was cheating on her when a photo emerged showing her husband and Dominican beauty Natti Natasha.
Mireddisa wrote to the affair theories: “Oh my god. People need to stop living the life of artists. They all don’t suffer from foreign fever.”
Mireddys Gonzalez’s Net Worth
Although Daddy Yankee is the richest reggaeton artist in the world, with a net worth of over 40 million US dollars, details of his long-time wife’s net worth are hard to find.
Mrs Rodriguez’s monetary achievements are rarely taken into account.
However, given that she occupies an integral position in her husband’s musical empire, González could understandably be nothing less than a millionaire herself.
To give you an idea, the parents of three children are reported to have collected quite large sums from two record labels, clothing, perfume, watch, es and shoe lines. Not to mention the income from millions of records sold and hundreds of concerts around the world,
To tell you more about their wealth, Mireddisa and her partner are also the owners of several extravagant properties.
By 2015, Gonzalez and her singer husband together owned eight homes in Puerto Rico. These included a luxury home in Vista Mar Marina and Mireddysa’s “El Cartel” property in Luquillo, Hacienda Carabalí, as well as two more properties in Florida.
