Who is Jesaaelys Ayala González?
She’s actually a social media star, and the creator of a make-up line, however, Jesaaelys Ayala González is perhaps known best as the daughter of the famous singer Daddy Yankee and his wife Mireddys Gonzalez. Jesaaelys came into the spotlight thanks to her videos on Instagram featuring her make-up tips.
Early life, parents, and education
Born Jesaaelys Maria Ayala González on 18 June 1996, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the second daughter of her parents, she was raised alongside her elder sister Yamilet, and younger brother Jeremy.
Their father, known as Daddy Yankee, but whose real name is Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, is a singer-songwriter often referred to by critics and fans as the ‘King of Reggaeton’. One of his global hits, “Despacito” was number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
Daddy Yankee and his wife Mireddys González married in 1995, and are still married today. She was his manager and accompanied him on his tours, and he described her as one of his biggest supporters. Currently, Mireddys is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and manager of the record label called El Cartel Records, founded by Daddy Yankee.
There isn’t much information about Yesaaelys’ early life, because her parents kept their children’s lives out of the public eye, leaving it up to them to decide if they wanted to be in the limelight when they grew up.
Jesaaelys attended a local high school, and upon matriculating in 2018, enrolled at the University of the Sacred Heart, from which she graduated with a BA degree in 2021.
