Giselle Soto is Lupillo Rivera’s wife
Soto, Lupillo Rivera’s wife, is a businesswoman who owns the renowned eyebrow company Giselle Soto Brows. Originally from Oxnard, California, the 26-year-old entrepreneur now operates her business out of Los Angeles. Her journey to success began humbly, as she was just another student at a beauty school.
Interestingly, Soto was swiftly hired by a brow artist at a salon right after her graduation. However, her employment abruptly ended after 10 months without any clear reason. This setback became the catalyst for her to venture into entrepreneurship. In 2017, Giselle Soto Brows was established, marking the start of her successful career.
Those who visit Giselle Soto Brows’ official Instagram account will notice the self-proclaimed title “The BROW G.O.A.T.,” proudly showcasing the business’s achievements.
The salon’s work has been featured in notable publications such as the LA Times, Vogue, E! News, and WWD, among others. In fact, a 2020 LA Times article listed Soto’s beauty shop as one of the top 11 places in Los Angeles for eyebrow services, illustrating the growth and acclaim of her business.
In her private Instagram bio, Soto identifies herself as the CEO of the thriving beauty enterprise, also mentioning her current husband’s Instagram handle, Lupillo Rivera. This highlights the success and flourishing partnership between the couple.
Rivera and Soto Wed Secretly
According to reports, the singer and the beauty artist tied the knot in secret. Rivera made it clear during the news conference that Soto is not simply his girlfriend—she is his wife, and the two have been married for quite some time.
He even referred to their marriage as “exclusive news” and took a jab at the attending journalist, mentioning that he had “studied journalism for a long time” and was familiar with all the laws.
Rivera then emphasized that “one needs to delve deeper to grasp the full picture.” Additionally, he shared that he had previously removed the tattoo of his ex-wife, Mayeli Alonso, who is currently mourning the loss of her father, Mario Alonso Ibarra.
Rivera About his ex-wife Mayeli Alonso
Rivera and Mayeli Alonso’s love story began in March 2003 in Chihuahua, Mexico, during one of his performances. They got engaged in November 2005 and tied the knot on April 29, 2006, after falling deeply in love from the very start.
The former couple shares two children: a daughter named Karisma Rivera, born on August 4, 2004, just a year before their engagement, and a son named L’Rey, born on August 8, 2008.
Their 12-year marriage came to an end on May 4, 2018. The primary reason for the divorce, according to Rivera, was his belief that Alonso was unfaithful. On May 7, 2018, Alonso took to her Instagram page to address the situation. In her heartfelt message, she acknowledged the impending divorce but vehemently denied any accusations of infidelity.
Rivera was previously married to Maria Gorola and shares two wonderful children, Ayana and Abigail Rivera, from that marriage.
