Daddy Yankee's Wife Mireddys González Was There for Him When No One Believed in Him

Mireddys González married her husband, Daddy Yankee when he was quite young. When they married, he had not yet become famous, and she has been there for him as his career grew.

Daddy Yankee, from Puerto Rico, is a rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor and is now known as the "King of Reggaetón." He started his musical career in the 1990s and soon became known as one of the pioneers of the reggaetón genre.

The rapper, born Ramón "Raymond" Ayala on February 3, 1977, tied the knot with Mireddys González at 17, long before he tested fame. Even though he goes by his stage name, his parents and older brother, Nomar, still call him by his birth name.

The Couple Shared Some of Their Family Moments Online

Yankee and Mireddys have been married for almost three decades. The couple has successfully kept their relationship out of the spotlight.

However, that does not mean they don't share some cute couple moments with their fans on Instagram. In 2017, she showed on Instagram that they have matching royal tattoos.

In the post, which she captioned with only emojis, the couple held hands as she showed off her queen's crown tattoo while he displayed his king's crown tattoo.

Mireddys once posted another picture of her and Yankee and tagged their location as the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport. The couple who had traveled together was spending time with a lion's cub in the image.

In 2018, she posted another picture of both of them with their faces covered, and in the caption, she wrote: "Still looks like winter in Canada. Late post ❄️."

The Couple Shares Three Children

After Mireddys and her husband married, they lived in a three-room public-housing apartment they now own before moving to their beachfront house in Isla Verde in 2001.

According to the rapper, he loves to drive in his neighborhood, which is one of the things he does after settling down from a trip. It is one of the ways he spends his time when he is not recording in the studio with friends.

The rapper would rather spend his time with his wife, with whom he shares three children. While there are conflicting reports about his children's birth dates, they were each born two years apart.

Yankee and Mireddys welcomed one of their children, a daughter, Yamilette Ayala González, when the rapper was a teenager. In 2013, she made her parents proud as she graduated with honors. In a Facebook post, her father wrote in Spanish:

"I had this beauty as a teenager. The road was hard, but with the support of GOD and a good wife, we achieved the goal, making her an exemplary girl. The standout in her graduating class. ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE *HIGH HONOR* YAMILETTE."

The couple's other daughter is Jesaaelys Ayala González, and they have a son, Jeremy Ayala González, whom they are proud of, and they show their kids on social media.

Despite the fame he has achieved, Yankee once revealed that he does not partake in the use of alcohol or drugs. He had experienced the effects of alcohol abuse as he was growing up and focused on doing well for himself.

His hard work paid off, as he owned the El Cartel record label at 21 and released four albums. His paramount dedication was to have his music on the world stage, and he quickly learned to speak English.

One of the Daughters Followed Dad's Footsteps to Be Popular

Even though Yankee's daughters did not take after him as a musician, one of them is walking in his footsteps by being famous in her way.

Their daughter, Jesaaelys, has paved a path for herself as a businesswoman in the world of beauty. She is the owner of Jesaaelys Beauty, a cruelty-free and vegan cosmetics brand that believes in conscious beauty.

She is also a makeup artist and started a YouTube page in 2017. However, her last post on YouTube was in August 2020. However, she is just like her parents in keeping her private life out of the media but sometimes posts pictures of her famous dad.

On Father's day in June 2018, Jesaaelys took to her Instagram page to wish her father a Happy Father's Day in Spanish. In the caption of her post, she wrote:

"I thank you for always being real and communicative with me. I feel proud every time I see you. You're the #1 man in my life and always will be."

The beauty lover was also grateful to God for the kind of man her father had become. She also thanked him for his unconditional love and understanding. She also remarked that he was an exemplary, loving, and the best father.

Yankee Once Said That "Behind the Success of a Man, There's Always a Good Woman"

Yankee has had a successful career and has collaborated with stars like Luis Fonsi, Snoop Dogg, Janet Jackson, Katy Perry, Pitbull, Lil Jon, Marc Anthony, Lennox, and others.

Despite his success, the rapper always remembered his early beginnings and his wife, Mireddys, who has stood by him and supported him.

In 2016, while speaking with a reporter in an interview, he revealed the secret behind his success. Yankee said:

"It's been very hard, but behind the success of a man, there's always a good woman. She's been the one with me since zero. She deserves the best from me. She was there in those moments that no one believed in me."

The rapper remarked that even when he was unsure of what the future would bring, his wife was there for him and has helped shape his "essence."
