“I understand that this is part of my process”: The Latin superstar Daddy Yankee, who is responsible for huge hits like “Despisto” and “Gasolina”, has informed his millions of fans that he and his partner Mirdis Gonzalez are divorcing.
In a story he uploaded to his Instagram page, the 47-year-old singer wrote: “With a lot of respect and honesty – I want to share important news that concerns my personal life. After more than two decades of marriage and after many months of trying to save it – today my lawyers are responding to the divorce request which was received from Mirdis,” he wrote and noted that his faith in God was a refuge for him at a time when they were trying to overcome their differences.
“It wasn’t an easy time, but I understand it’s part of my process,” Yankee shared. “It’s time to accept it and move on – and protect my stability, my children and what has been built for so many years. I deeply thank those who have accompanied us on this journey, and ask to respect our privacy – I know this news may surprise many. I am a prisoner Thank you for the time we shared, which was full of love – and a beautiful family that will continue to be our priority,” he concluded.
Yankee and Mirdis met back in high school more than twenty years ago, and share two children together.
