The $12 Million Betrayal: 7 Shocking Facts About Daddy Yankee's Estranged Wife, Mireddys González
The fairy tale marriage of Reggaeton pioneer Daddy Yankee and his high school sweetheart, Mireddys González, has officially ended, according to reports from late 2024. After nearly three decades together, the couple—long considered one of the most stable and private in Latin music—announced their separation, which quickly spiraled into a dramatic public and legal controversy that continues to unfold in early December 2025. This shocking development comes on the heels of Daddy Yankee’s highly publicized retirement from music and his conversion to Christianity, casting a shadow over his new life chapter.
The details emerging from the split are far from amicable, with the focus shifting from a quiet separation to a high-stakes federal lawsuit. Mireddys González, who was not just the legendary artist’s wife but also the long-time manager and CEO of his business empire, is now entangled in a multi-million dollar legal battle. This article delves into the life, career, and current legal situation of the powerful woman who stood by "The Big Boss" for almost 30 years, revealing the shocking allegations at the heart of their divorce.

Mireddys González, often referred to as "The Boss" by her husband, was a foundational pillar in the life and career of Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, globally known as Daddy Yankee. While the reggaeton star protected his family life fiercely, Mireddys’s influence in his business dealings was undeniable. She transformed from his high school sweetheart into a formidable executive in the music industry.

Mireddys and Daddy Yankee met and married young, with some reports indicating they tied the knot when they were both teenagers. Their enduring relationship was a rarity in the volatile world of celebrity, often cited as a testament to their mutual support and commitment to privacy. Mireddys's work as a music manager and business executive was critical to managing the global success of the "King of Reggaeton."
The Unraveling of a Nearly 30-Year Union: Separation and Divorce in Late 2024
The news of the separation between Daddy Yankee and Mireddys González sent shockwaves across the Latin entertainment world. After celebrating their 29th wedding anniversary, the couple announced their divorce in December 2024, citing "unsuccessful efforts" to save the marriage.
The announcement followed a period of massive life change for Daddy Yankee, who concluded his farewell tour, "La Última Vuelta," and publicly announced his retirement from secular music to devote his life to Christianity in late 2023. Many fans and media outlets speculated that this significant shift in his personal and professional life may have contributed to the marital breakdown. The timing of the divorce, right after his career closure and spiritual conversion, highlights a complete overhaul of his life's direction.
Despite the public nature of the separation, both parties initially stressed respect for one another. Daddy Yankee was quoted as saying, "I have always respected Mrs. González," emphasizing the effort they put into their relationship. However, this sentiment quickly gave way to a deeply contentious legal battle over the business empire they built together.
The $12 Million Legal Battle: Allegations of Deleted Data and Broken Trust
The most explosive development in the couple’s split is the federal lawsuit filed by Daddy Yankee against Mireddys González and her sister, Ayeicha González-Castellanos. The litigation, which has been reported to seek damages of at least $12 million, centers on allegations of serious business misconduct.
Allegations of Betrayal and Data Erasure
The core of the lawsuit alleges that Mireddys and her sister accessed and deleted confidential, crucial information from Daddy Yankee's primary music companies, El Cartel Productions and Los Cangris Inc. The artist’s legal team claims this act of data erasure and unauthorized access has significantly affected his business operations and resulted in millions of dollars in damages.
The lawsuit paints a picture of "betrayal" and a "broken trust," particularly jarring given Mireddys's long-standing role as the CEO and manager responsible for overseeing the business operations and strategic planning of El Cartel Records since 2001. The legal documents reportedly request compensation and the return of business records, indicating a complete breakdown of the professional relationship that underpinned their marriage.
The Financial Stakes
While the most recent federal lawsuit focuses on a $12 million claim, earlier reports during the initial stages of the legal dispute mentioned much higher figures, with some sources citing Daddy Yankee suing his ex-wife for business reasons related to figures as high as $250 million. Separately, one report alleged that the lawsuit included claims that the pair withdrew $80 million without authorization. The sheer scale of the financial claims underscores the complexity of dissolving a multi-decade partnership that intertwined personal life with a global music enterprise.
The legal process has been ongoing throughout 2025, with a judge reportedly siding with Mireddys González in a separate, earlier lawsuit, but the $12 million federal business dispute remains a major point of contention. The outcome of this legal battle will not only determine the financial future of the former couple but also the future of the entities that managed the career of a global music icon.
A New Chapter: Family, Faith, and the Future
Despite the turmoil, the couple shares three adult children: Jesaaelys, Yamilet, and Jeremy. The children have largely remained private, though Jesaaelys, a popular social media influencer, has occasionally shared glimpses of their family life. The children represent a lasting bond between the former couple, even as their relationship dissolves.
For Daddy Yankee, the legal drama is juxtaposed with his profound public shift towards faith. He has dedicated his retirement to his Christian faith, proclaiming that "Christ lives in me" and announcing his intention to create God-focused songs. This spiritual journey marks a complete departure from the Latin hip-hop and reggaeton genres he pioneered and dominated for decades. The litigation, however, ensures that his name and personal life remain in the headlines, even as he attempts to step away from the secular spotlight.
Mireddys González's future is equally transformative. Having managed one of the biggest names in music for over 20 years, her next steps—whether in a new business venture or a continued role in the entertainment industry—will be closely watched. Her legacy is not just as Daddy Yankee's wife, but as a powerful, behind-the-scenes executive who helped build a global empire from the ground up. The ongoing legal battle will ultimately define the final chapter of their professional and personal partnership.
