Jesaaelys Ayala González: She Is a Makeup Artist & Daddy Yankee's Daughter

Jesaaelys Ayala González is one of Daddy Yankee's three children. Although she grew up under her father's fame and has been aware of his legacy in music, she has confidently forged her own path in the world of makeup.

Rapper and singer Daddy Yankee, whose real name is Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, has always been open about his professional achievements but notably private about his personal life.

Nevertheless, within the "Gasolina" hitmaker's family, his daughter, Jesaaelys Ayala González, has attained her own success away from her father's spotlight.

Jesaaelys Is A Makeup Artist & Social Media Star

Jesaaelys is one of the rising social media stars today. As of this publication, she has 1.9 million followers on Instagram, 4.8 million on TikTok, and a growing number of followers on Facebook. She also has a YouTube channel dedicated to makeup and fashion.

Jesaaelys recently opened up on her channel about growing up as Daddy Yankee's daughter. She revealed that her childhood was quite different from other kids in her neighborhood and school, all due to security concerns.

In her younger years, she had a limited presence on social media. She recalled having a MySpace account but deleted it out of fear that her true identity might be discovered. It was not until 2010 that she started using Facebook.

Being well aware of her father's immense popularity, Jesaaelys has consciously tried to distance herself from his status. She has also refrained from using his name because she is determined to make a name for herself.

Now, Jesaaelys is a successful makeup artist who founded the cruelty-free and vegan makeup brush line, Jesaaelys Beauty. She is also a collaborator for the brand Fashion Nova, as stated in her Instagram bio.

In 2020, she earned a place in HOLA! USA's Latina Powerhouse Top 100 in the "Beauty Icons" category. The recognition is given annually to Latinas who have made a meaningful impact on society. Its latest honorees included Karol G, Eva Longoria, America Ferrera, and Jenna Ortega.

Jesaaelys Frequently Features Her Parents On Social Media

The social media personality's mother is Mireddys González, a successful entrepreneur. Her mom and father—who met as teenagers in Isla del Encanto—have been happily married to each other for 28 years.

Besides her mom's entrepreneurship side, she also serves as her dad's manager and CEO of El Cartel Records. Despite being a famous musician, Jesaaelys' dad has maintained privacy about their life.

The acclaimed Latino artist revealed in a 2016 "Detras de la Fama" interview with Rashel Diaz that his family was the only private aspect of his life in a world of glitz and glamour.

While the makeup artist usually keeps her connection to her father private, she does make exceptions for special occasions. She paid tribute to her parents' recent wedding anniversary. Jesaaelys's post read:

"I am so grateful to GOD for having exemplary parents like you who always taught us the most important things in life like values, respect, always have GOD present in everything, and always be grateful for everything we have."

She sent her father a heartfelt birthday message in 2019, including two photos: one from her childhood and another recent one in what appears to be inside a hotel room, creating a touching and nostalgic tribute.

In a 2019 post, Jesaaelys expressed her deep love and pride for her father. She marveled at his success and sacrifices throughout his career and praised him for elevating what was once a marginalized musical genre to international recognition.

Jesaaelys's Father Has Recently Retired From His Career

Daddy Yankee has officially retired from his music career after over 20 years in the industry. In 2022, Jesaaelys's father posted a video on his Instagram page that summed up his achievements.

He finished his Legendaddy World Tour with over 85 sold-out shows in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America. He culminated his final performance in Puerto Rico.

Additionally, the Latino music sensation thanked his fans for their unwavering support and expressed deep appreciation for Jesaaelys's mother, who stood by him throughout his journey to success.
