Who Was Jenicka Lopez’s Mother, Jenni Rivera
Jenni Rivera was born in Los Angeles, California, on 2 July 1969, to Mexican immigrants Pedro Rivera and Rosa Saavedra. She was brought up alongside her four brothers – one of whom Lupillo, is a regional Mexican singer – and sister, in a musical household. She was a bright student, and it’s reported that she scored straight A’s.
Jenicka became pregnant by Trino Marin just as she turned 15, which made her parents kick her out of their house. She married Marin in 1984, but their union was marked with mental and physical abuse. She described their eight years of togetherness as sorrowful, and she even attempted to commit suicide twice. As a result, her parents took her back in, and she shortly afterward began her musical career when she joined the record label called Cintas Acuario.
Rivera performed in bars and this is where she met her second husband, Juan Lopez. They thereafter fell in love, tied the knot in 1997, and later welcomed two children. Sadly, they parted ways in 2003 due to her husband’s unfaithfulness.

She served as the spokesperson of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence in 2010, and later founded several other organisations to help children with cancer, women who were victims of violence, and immigrants.
She later married Esteban Loaiza, an actor and former baseball player.
Jenni was also credited with her appearances in the reality shows “I Love Jenni” and “Jenni Rivera Presents: Chiquis & Raq-C.”
Jenni later became an accomplished business mogul, and launched Divine Music, Jenni Jeans, Divina Cosmetics, and several other brands, but she divorced her husband amidst her professional successes.
When she died in 2012, she was worth approximately $25 million.
