Lorenzo Méndez said his marriage to Chiquis Rivera ended amid insecurity, disrespect, lies, indifference, and plans that did not align. His October 2020 explanation was his account of the breakup—not a shared explanation: Rivera had called their separation mutual, while Méndez later disputed that it was.

What reasons did Lorenzo Méndez give for the split?

In an interview with Tanya Charry for Univision’s El Gordo y La Flaca, published October 26, 2020, Méndez described several problems in the relationship. Univision reported his account as citing “inseguridades, falta de respeto, mentiras” (“insecurities, lack of respect, lies”), as well as indifference, differences, and plans and goals that did not align. He also described tension when they tried to discuss those plans. Univision’s interview coverage.

Méndez put it this way: “Fueron muchas cosas, yo creo que inseguridades, falta de respeto, mentiras, hubo indiferencias.” In English: “It was many things. I think insecurities, lack of respect, lies; there was indifference.” The English wording is a translation of his Spanish statement.

Did both of them say the separation was mutual?

No. Their public descriptions differed. On September 17, 2020, Rivera announced their separation on Instagram and described it as mutual and difficult but necessary, according to Telemundo. In the later interview, Méndez said he did not consider the decision mutual and said Rivera had told him it was better to separate. The accounts conflict; neither statement establishes an agreed explanation of how the decision was made.

Speaker and date Public description
Chiquis Rivera, September 17, 2020 Called the separation “Fue una decisión mutua y difícil, pero necesaria” (“It was a mutual and difficult decision, but necessary”), as quoted by Telemundo.
Lorenzo Méndez, October 26, 2020 Disputed that the decision was mutual and gave his own account of the relationship problems, in Univision’s coverage.

How the breakup timeline fits together

Reports of relationship trouble appeared before the September announcement. Telemundo’s May 27, 2020 coverage described a marital crisis; it belongs to an earlier period of difficulty, not the definitive public separation announcement. Rivera announced the separation in September, and Méndez discussed his perspective in October. Telemundo’s May 2020 coverage.

What later coverage says—and what it does not establish

A March 2022 report in El Mexicano said Rivera’s book Invencible included her allegations concerning addiction and domestic violence. Those are allegations attributed to Rivera, not independently substantiated findings in that report. They should not be presented as verified facts or as a jointly accepted reason for the separation. An earlier 2017 relationship pause is also a separate episode and does not establish why the couple’s marriage ended in 2020.
