Reggaeton superstar Daddy Yankee and his wife, Mireddys González, have announced their divorce after nearly three decades of marriage.

The news has caused a major stir—not only because of the length of their relationship but also due to the financial implications of their divorce. Daddy Yankee’s fortune is estimated to be around $300 million, making this one of the most expensive divorces in the Latin entertainment industry.

Some media outlets in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic have speculated that the final settlement, considering the artist’s total assets, could be closer to $400 million. However, it will ultimately be up to a judge to decide what will be divided and how, in a case that has captivated the public’s attention in the world of celebrity and entertainment.

In recent hours, reports have surfaced claiming that Daddy Yankee has filed a lawsuit against his estranged wife, accusing her of allegedly making unauthorized transfers of $100 million from his corporate accounts.

This development has further complicated the divorce process, as the couple shared responsibilities in the artist’s businesses, including his record label, El Cartel Records.

No Prenuptial Agreement

The couple reportedly did not have a prenuptial agreement. Under Puerto Rico’s laws, assets acquired during the marriage must be divided equally. This includes not just cash, but also real estate, investments, and other assets tied to Daddy Yankee’s businesses.

Despite the seriousness of the allegations, both parties have handled the proceedings with discretion. Daddy Yankee issued a statement confirming the separation and requesting privacy, while Mireddys González has maintained a low profile on social media.

Daddy Yankee’s Statement

“With a heart full of respect and honesty, I want to share an important update about my personal life. After more than two decades of marriage and after many months of trying to save our relationship, which my wife and I have shared, today my lawyers respond to the divorce petition filed by Mireddys. My faith in Christ has been my refuge at all times, guiding me as we tried to overcome our differences.

I respect Mireddys’ decision and am grateful for the time we shared, filled with blessings, values, love, and a beautiful family that will continue to be our priority. This is not an easy time, but I understand it is part of my life’s journey. I must accept and move forward, protecting my stability, my children, and everything we’ve built over so many years.”

This divorce not only affects the couple on a personal level but also has significant implications for their business ventures and the music industry as a whole. The division of assets and resolution of legal accusations could set important precedents for managing shared fortunes and businesses in the entertainment world.
