AceShowbiz - Daddy Yankee took to Instagram on Monday, December 2, to share the news of his separation from Mireddys Gonzalez. "With a heart full of respect and honesty, I want to share some important news about my personal life," he wrote. "After more than two decades of marriage and after many months of trying to save my marriage, which my wife and I share, today my lawyers respond to the divorce petition received by Mireddys."

Yankee expressed his faith in Christ as his "refuge" during this difficult time. He also shared his respect for Gonzalez's decision and his gratitude for the "time we shared, full of blessings, values, of love and with a beautiful family."

Together, they share three children, Yamilet, Jesaaelys and Jeremy. Gonzalez was also Yankee's manager and the CEO of El Cartel Records.

"This is not an easy time, but I understand that it is part of my life process," Yankee said. "It is time to accept and continue. Protect my stability, my children and everything built over so many years."

Yankee emphasized his desire for privacy during this process and thanked those who had supported them over the years.

In a surprising twist, the divorce news comes just two months after Concord acquired parts of Yankee's music publishing and recorded music catalog. The deal includes rights to hits like "Con Calma" and "Despacito".

Yankee has openly discussed his faith in recent years and has credited it with filling a void in his life. In 2022, he stated, "I realized that for everyone I was someone, but I was no one without him."
