Nicky Jam reflects on the difficulty of maintaining stable relationships in the industry following Daddy Yankee's divorce. He emphasizes that love is a challenge even for the strongest couples.


Nicky Jam recently spoke about the unexpected separation of Daddy Yankee and Mireddys González, a couple who were together for over 30 years. During an interview with Billboard, the artist used the case of the reggaeton icon to reflect on how difficult it is to maintain a stable relationship in today's world.

"I'm in a very good moment of my life," Nicky Jam affirmed, who married Juana Varón last year. However, he acknowledged that many times his romantic history is seen as a joke due to the number of relationships he has had and his past commitments. "A lot of people, when I talk about my relationships, take it lightly because I've been going in and out of several, and they always see me as 'look, here he comes with a new girlfriend, here comes the marriage talk,' but the reality is that no one knows what you truly go through," he expressed.

In that context, he mentioned Daddy Yankee and Mireddys' divorce as an example of how unpredictable relationships can be. “The best example, with all due respect, is Daddy Yankee. He had been with his partner for over thirty years and just recently split. It's a relationship you would never believe would end,” said Nicky Jam, making it clear that his comment was not intended to delve into the couple's privacy, but rather to highlight the complexities of maintaining a long-term relationship.

“I’m not talking about their private situation. My respect to them, both of them. But we are living in a time when it's very difficult to maintain a relationship. However, I feel very good about my relationship right now,” added Nicky Jam, who was a duo partner of Daddy Yankee in his early days.

The interpreter of "El perdón" also emphasized how easy it is to judge people without knowing their reality. "It’s very easy to judge and point fingers. No one knows how the people who criticize me would live if they were in my situation," he stated. Despite this, he assured that he currently feels happy and stable with his partner.

The divorce of Daddy Yankee and Mireddys González surprised the music industry and their fans, as the couple always projected a solid and discreet image. With this comment, Nicky Jam reflected the harsh reality of romantic relationships in the entertainment world and how, despite fame, love remains a challenge for everyone.

During the same interview, the singer confessed that he met his wife through social media and that later, a mutual friend introduced them in person. Since then, the couple has become inseparable. They had a quiet wedding last summer. However, the singer mentioned that the key to their relationship continuing to thrive is the discretion with which they have managed their love story.
