Patricia Rivera, a prominent figure in Mexican cinema during the 1980s, has broken her silence regarding her controversial relationship with Vicente Fernández, the iconic Mexican singer.
Rivera claims that her romance with Fernández was genuine, but the ensuing rumors and scandals deeply affected her life and career.
Allegations surfaced that Vicente Fernández paid millions to keep Patricia Rivera away from the media and his family, which she has denied, calling the figure “absurd.”
The relationship between Rivera and Fernández became public when she announced her pregnancy in 1986, claiming he was the father, a claim he denied throughout his life.
A DNA test conducted in 2005 revealed that Vicente Fernández was not the biological father of Rivera’s son, Rodrigo, leading to significant public scandal and family tension.
Following the fallout from the scandal, Patricia Rivera retreated from the public eye and shifted her focus to the hotel and real estate business.
Recent developments, including the release of a biographical series about Vicente Fernández, have reignited public interest in Rivera’s story and the complexities of her relationship with the late singer.
