Daddy Yankee and Mireddys González split after nearly 30 years of marriage

Daddy Yankee said this is “not an easy time” amid his divorce from Mireddys González. “This is not an easy time, but I understand that it is part of my life process,” he added, noting that it was time to “accept and continue.” The Grammy nominee called his faith in Christ his “refuge” and “constant guide” as he and González attempted to work out their differences: “Now more than ever I trust that God has a purpose for every stage of our lives.” Yankee called his Instagram post the only statement he would make about his divorce. “My client holds deep respect for Mireddys González and is therefore prioritizing the preservation and protection of their privacy regarding their marriage and the personal matters that only they fully understand,” his attorney told Rolling Stone on Tuesday. “For a long time, my client made unsuccessful efforts to reconcile their differences.” Yankee’s attorney said that the artist was notified of González’s decision to file for divorce in September, adding that “private efforts were also made during this time but did not yield the expected results.” The high school sweethearts were married in 1995, when they were just 17 years old.
