Jenni Rivera was the face of the strong-willed Latin woman because she is a mother, businesswoman, and has spoken openly about her failed marriages, and staying positive through drama. She most recently divorced Major League Baseball pitcher Esteban Loaiza, her third marriage.
On Saturday night, after her final concert, Rivera spoke of dusting herself off and rising above the fray:
‘I can’t get caught up in the negative because that destroys you. Perhaps trying to move away from my problems and focus on the positive is the best I can do.
‘I am a woman like any other and ugly things happen to me like any other women. The number of times I have fallen down is the number of times I have gotten up.’
Rivera had five children.
