Nicky Jam on Daddy Yankee and Mireddys’ Divorce: "A Relationship You'd Never Expect to End"

In a recent discussion, Nicky Jam opened up about the surprising split between Daddy Yankee and Mireddys González, a couple who shared over three decades together. During an interview with Billboard, the reggaeton star used their separation to highlight the challenges of maintaining stable relationships in today's world. "I'm in a very good place in my life," Nicky Jam stated, who tied the knot with Juana Varón last year. He acknowledged, however, that his romantic history is often seen as a joke due to his numerous past relationships and engagements. "People often laugh when I talk about my relationships because I've been in and out of so many, and they always say, 'Here he comes with a new girlfriend, here he comes with getting married,' but the truth is, no one knows what you're going through," he explained.

Nicky Jam cited the divorce of Daddy Yankee and Mireddys as an example of how unpredictable relationships can be. "With all due respect, the best example is Daddy Yankee. He was with his partner for over thirty years, and now they've split. It's a relationship you'd never expect to end," Nicky Jam remarked, clarifying that his intention wasn't to delve into the couple's private matters but to underscore the complexity of sustaining a long-term relationship. "I'm not speaking about their personal situation. I respect them both. But we're living in times where it's very tough to keep a relationship. However, I'm very happy with my relationship right now,” Nicky Jam added, who was once Daddy Yankee's duo partner in their early careers.

The performer of "El Perdón" also highlighted how easily people judge without knowing the full picture. "It's easy to judge and point fingers. No one knows how those who criticize me would handle my situation," he expressed. Despite this, he affirmed that he currently feels happy and stable with his partner.

The news of Daddy Yankee and Mireddys González's divorce took the music world and their fans by surprise, as the couple always presented a solid and discreet image. Through his comments, Nicky Jam illustrated the harsh reality of romantic relationships in the entertainment industry and how, despite fame, love remains a challenge for everyone.

During the same interview, the singer revealed that he met his wife through social media, and later, a friend introduced them in person. Since then, the couple has been inseparable, marrying quietly last summer. Nicky Jam mentioned that the key to their thriving relationship is the discretion with which they have managed their love story. The singer discusses this topic around the 32-minute mark of the interview.
