Lupillo Rivera, whose real name is Guadalupe Rivera Saavedra has married thrice, his first two marriages being to ex-wives María Gorola and Mayeli Alonso both of who had kids for him. Find out details about all the children of the Grammy award-winning Mexican-American singer and songwriter below.

Meet Lupillo Rivera‘s Kids With María Gorola

Lupillo Rivera’s first marriage with María Gorola lasted from 1987 to 2002 when they couple got divorced. Within the space of their 15-year marriage, the pair had four daughters: Ayana Rivera, Abigail Rivera, Angélica Marín, and Areana Pérez. Aside from Abigail Rivera and Ayana Rivera who are active on social media, the other two daughters are very private about their lives. So information on them is sketchy.

Ayana Rivera is Lupillo Rivera’s First Child with María Gorola

Ayana is Lupillo’s first child/ first daughter with María Gorola and she is currently in her 30s. Ayana is very active on social media, especially on Instagram where she uploads a lot of sexy pictures and dance videos to the delight of her 264k followers. Ayana recently had rhinoplasty surgery. She is open about her plastic surgeries and isn’t shy about flaunting her gorgeous curves.

The model/influencer is also known for her involvement with the family feud that has been rocking the Riveras. Alongside her sister, Abigail, Ayana has an ongoing feud with the Riveras – mostly with uncle Juan Rivera and cousin Chiquis Rivera, Jenni Rivera’s daughter. She even got a restraining order against Chiquis, whom she alleged went to Abigail’s home to threaten her.

Ayana’s latest claim is that her uncle Juan Rivera and her aunt, Rosie Rivera, are trying to live off Jenni and Lupillo’s money. Juan Rivera has continually denied the accusations leveled against him.

Lupillo Rivera’s Second Child is Abigail Rivera

Abigail is Lupillo’s second daughter with his first wife, María Gorola. Before getting into her current relationship, she was a single mom to her daughter Alanna Janelle. Aria Elena, her other daughter, was born with her present partner Edgar. The two got together when Alanna was just 5 months old. Abigail is also stepmom to twin daughters Esmeralda and Isabella, who are Edgar’s daughters.

Although she is active on social media, she isn’t much of an influencer as compared to her older sister. Abigail also has a YouTube account where she posts videos of herself singing and playing the guitar.

Abigail was also deeply involved in the family scandal that rocked the Riveras. She publicly accused Rosie and Juan Rivera of beating up her mom, saying that she witnessed the incident when she was six years old. She also accused her cousin Chiquis of having an affair with her stepfather Esteban Loaiza, claiming that there was a threesome between Esteban, Chiquis, and one of Jenni Rivera’s friends Elena.

Lupillo, as expected, became quite fed up with the family drama and chose to cut ties with his family. At one point, he was in communication with just his father, choosing to wash his hands off the bitter fights going on via social media.

It is interesting to note that Lupillo was estranged from his older daughters for several years after his divorce from their mom in 2005. Presently, they seem to have reconciled their differences as Lupillo has a visible presence in his grandchildren’s lives.

Lupillo’s Third Daughter with María Gorola is Angélica Marín

Angélica is Lupillo’s third daughter with his first wife. Unlike her two elder sisters, she maintains a healthy positive relationship with her father and the Riveras at large. Angélica lives with her husband and son, Dean, at her father’s house. She doesn’t get to see her mother very often, but the two do keep in touch.

Areana Pérez (née Rivera) is María Gorola’s Youngest Daughter with Lupillo  

Just like her sister Angélica, Lupillo’s last daughter by María Gorola, Areana Pérez, prefers life away from the spotlight. Areana Pérez is currently married to Florencio Pérez and is a mother of two; her son Romeo and daughter Mia. Her Instagram is filled with wholesome pictures of her family life. Compared to her two eldest sisters she is reserved and has a loving relationship with her extended family.

She has a cordial relationship with her dad Lupillo and is in touch with her mom as well. She is not involved in any of the family feuds that have been going on among the Riveras.

Who Are Lupillo Rivera’s Kids With Mayeli Alonso?

Lupillo’s second marriage was to businesswoman Mayeli Alonso. The pair got married on 29 April 2006 and were together for 13 years. The marriage ended in 2019, due to irreconcilable differences. However, rumor has it that infidelity might have had a role to play in the couple’s separation.

Mayeli and Lupillo Rivera’s kids are two in number, Lupita Karizma Rivera and L’Rey Rivera. Mayeli Alonso once confessed via social media that she had unfortunately lost a pregnancy after she had a confrontation with someone from Lupillo’s family.

Lupita Karizma Rivera’s is Lupillo Rivera’s First Child with Mayeli Alonso

Lupita Karizma Rivera was born on 4th August 2004. She is Lupillo’s fifth daughter but she shares a different mother from her elder sisters. The 19 years old, just like her mom, Mayeli Alonso, has a flair for business. She has her own brand, Karizma Beauty, a makeup and skincare brand.

Karizma seems to have also inherited one of Rivera’s most sought-after talents, aside from beauty. She is into music as well. Lupillo is of course her greatest supporter, as well as her mom, who promotes her any chance she gets. She worked alongside her father for four months to produce her first single Los Niños Inocentes (feat. Lupillo Rivera).

As for her relationship with her dad, the two enjoy a close relationship. Lupillo even threw a glamorous quinceañera for Karizma when she turned fifteen. The party, which was planned with the most intricate details, was attended by her friends and family members. The duo graced the occasion with the traditional father-and-daughter dance.

Karizma is currently single. She is focused on building her career as a music artist and promoting her brand. Most of her Instagram posts showcase her amazing makeup skills and brand products. She currently has 217k followers on Instagram.

L’Rey Rivera is Mayeli Alonso and Lupillo Rivera’s Youngest Child 

L’Rey Rivera is the youngest child and Lupillo Rivera’s only biological son by Mayeli Alonso. Born on 8th August 2008, the 15-year-old currently lives with his dad and his third wife Giselle Soto. He has little contact with his mom, unlike his sister Karizma. Lupillo and Mayeli Alonso had had a series of clashes over how the latter was training their kids.

L’Rey has not been involved in a scandal so far. We cannot say for sure if he will be joining the family business in the future, but for now, the young man is enjoying the privileges that come with being the only son of Lupillo Rivera.

Who Is José Guadalupe, The Son That Wasn’t Lupillo Rivera’s?

Apart from his six biological children, Lupillo once had a son named José Guadalupe. This happened during his first marriage. Lupillo was informed that he had a son out of wedlock with Luz Galindo. He provided financial support for José for twelve years, before discovering that the boy wasn’t his.

In a surprising twist of fate, a DNA test to determine Lupillo’s future heir was what exposed the paternity fraud. At that period, Mayeli was pregnant or had already given birth to their son, thus necessitating the test. Despite the negative paternity test, Lupillo continued providing for José Guadalupe till he was 18 years.

The Rivera Family Feud has Been Ongoing Since 2012

The Rivera family feud has been going on for quite some time now. Ever since Jenni Rivera died in a tragic plane crash in 2012, the family seems to be divided across many frontlines. From accusations of theft, drug abuse, violence against each other, and even death threats.

If we narrow it down to the feud between Lupillo Rivera’s kids, Ayana and Abigail, and the extended family, we see that Juan Rivera and their cousins Chiquis and Jenicka are the main culprits. It all started when Ayana accused some family members of opening fake accounts on social networks to attack their father Lupillo.

According to Abigail, they knew it was family members because some of the information published was very private, and only family members have access to this information. Chiquis Rivera sided with her uncle, Juan, on this issue, causing a rift between her and her cousins. It was during this period that Abigail came out to talk about Rosie and Juan Rivera beating up her mom, and also accused Chiquis of having a threesome with her stepfather, Esteban Loaiza.

The Feud Took Another Dimension in 2018

Things got to a head when in April 2018, cousins ​​Chiquis and Jenicka Rivera were accused of going to Abigail’s house at 2:30 am and shouting at her to come out and resolve their issues. Abigail claimed that her cousins were drunk at the time and she could not leave her frightened daughter alone in the house to confront the two.

When questioned about this Chiquis denied the accusation, saying she is open to reconciliation. She, however, mentioned that she was furious about some private messages she read on her Instagram account. Chiquis had also been accused of sending a man to beat someone who had nude photos of her brother Juan Ángel (Juan Ángel later came out as gay in November 2017). At present, Ayana and Abigail claim to have placed a restraining order on Chiquis.

There Have Been Accusations of Threat to Life Among Lupillo Rivera’s Kids

The battle is not yet over as Ayana is also accusing Juan of being a drug addict and trying to live off Jenni’s money. The accusation had Juan’s wife Brenda and the kids involved in a feud, with one of Jenni’s daughters, Jenicka Rivera,  coming out to claim that her life was being threatened.

One of Lupillo Rivera’s kids, Juan Rivera held a press conference in January 2022 addressing the problems he has had with his late sister’s children. He also talked about the problems he has with his brother Lupillo. However, he never owed up to any of the allegations.

Lupillo Rivera Got Secretly Married to Giselle Soto

Lupillo Rivera’s third wife is Giselle Soto, a businesswoman who owns Giselle Soto Brows, a well-known eyebrow company. According to Soto, they met during the covid-19 pandemic, when Lupillo called her on Instagram. She also claimed that it was love at first sight when they finally met.

The couple got married in secret in a private ceremony in January 2021, after a lot of speculations among fans on their relationship. Despite the 23-year age gap between the two, they appear to be enjoying their union. But for now, Lupillo Rivera and Giselle Soto have no child together, however, the couple share their home with Lupillo’s son L’Rey.
