Oscar De La Hoya, nicknamed the Golden Boy, has created one of the most illustrious and successful careers in boxing. The Mexican fighter is one of the most recognizable boxers in the modern era. De La Hoya stands on the same pedestal as legends like Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

As being Mexico’s most famous boxer comes with a lot of media attention, De La Hoya’s personal life is not that personal. The media immediately covers anything that happens in his personal life. De La Hoya’s divorce from his ex-wife Millie Corretjer made national news in Mexico.

The pair tied the knot in 2001. Then, after 15 years of marriage, they split up in 2016.
