Juan Rivera, His Scandals, and Brenda, His Wife
Juan was arrested for drug possession when he was 17 years old in February 1995. His time in jail was traumatic, and he became suicidal as a result. Some of the horrors he witnessed were the dehumanization of prisoners. For example, the cooks spat and urinated on food to humiliate and degrade the inmates.
Because it was difficult for him to survive in such an environment, the singer considered suicide. However, he pulled himself together and made the best of his situation. He concentrated on his education and graduated from high school. Juan then earned a degree in Communication Sciences from the University of California, Long Beach.
He was arrested again a few years after being released from prison. This time, he was imprisoned for illegally carrying firearms, which resulted in two decades in prison. Juan struggled with alcoholism as a result of all the traumas and chaos in his life. He began drinking at the age of 15, and by the age of 30, the singer realized he had developed an addiction.
Regardless, while the singer was in and out of prison, he was always accompanied by one person: his wife, Brenda. Juan refers to his wife as “the woman who changed his life.”
Brenda met the singer when she was 17 years old, and she has since changed his life for the better. Brenda became pregnant with their first child just six months after they began dating and a few days before Juan was arrested.
Their relationship was rocky for the first few years, but they persevered. Instead, they dealt with the situation, and Juan evolved to be a better partner for Brenda. The couple married in 2017 after being together for over two decades. The lovely ceremony was small and intimate, with only close friends and family in attendance.
The couple married during the golden hour, with tears in their eyes and heartfelt vows, with the singer’s older brother, Pedro, serving as the wedding minister. Currently, the couple lives happily in California with their four children. Juan is concentrating on his music career and striving to keep his sister’s legacy alive.
