In his statement, Daddy Yankee shared that he had tried to save his marriage but ultimately couldn’t. He explained that his faith has been a source of strength during this difficult time: “My faith in Christ has been my refuge throughout this process, a constant guide as we worked to overcome our differences. I respect Mireddys’ decision and am truly grateful for the time we shared—filled with blessings, values, love, and a beautiful family that will always remain our priority,” he wrote.

He has decided to approach this new chapter of his life with acceptance, focusing on the well-being of his three children: “This isn’t an easy time, but I understand it’s part of life. It’s time to accept, move forward, and focus on protecting my stability, my children, and everything we’ve built over so many years.” He expressed his gratitude to those who have supported them and asked for privacy, making it clear this would be his only statement on the matter.
“I’m deeply thankful to everyone who has been with us throughout this journey and kindly ask for your respect as we go through this process. I know this news might come as a surprise to many. Thank you for your unconditional support. These will be my only comments on the subject. Thank you for your prayers and for always letting me share my music and my life with you. Now, more than ever, I trust that God has a purpose for every stage of our lives. With love and gratitude, Raymond Ayala, aka Daddy Yankee,” he concluded.
Daddy Yankee and Mireddys González have been married for almost 30 years. They tied the knot back in 1995 when the reggaeton star was just 19. Over their years together, they raised three children: Yamilette (28), Jeremy (26), and Jesaeelys (24).
While Daddy Yankee has always kept his personal life private, occasionally sharing glimpses of his strong bond with his family, recent rumors have surfaced about an alleged affair with Colombian presenter Jessica Cediel. These claims came to light just days before the divorce announcement, though none of the parties involved have commented on the matter.

From Daddy Yankee’s statement, there doesn’t seem to be a clear reason behind the separation. However, it’s clear that his love story with Mireddys has come to an end. After nearly three decades together, they now face the challenge of moving forward on their own paths.
