No, Vin Diesel is not married. For the past fourteen years, Paloma Jimenez and Vin Diesel have been dating. Fast and Furious 9 is the latest installment in the Fast and Furious franchise, for which Vin Diesel is internationally renowned, but when it comes to his personal life, he obviously prefers to take things slow and steady.
The 39-year-old Mexican-born model and the 55-year-old actor have three children together, but it's obvious that they've never been the "in a hurry to get married" types. Diesel admitted to Parade years ago that he purposefully took his time in search of Ms. Right. "While I was doing Pacifier (the 2005 movie), it really started to bring out this desire to have a child," he told Parade in 2008. "It took a couple years after that to find the right person and to hopefully be mature enough to be a great father, which is really all you want to do."
Who is Paloma Jimenez?
Most people know Paloma Jimenez as Vin Diesel's wife, but she wasn't always a stay-at-home mom. Jimenez was raised in Acapulco, Mexico, where he was born. She moved to the US to pursue a modeling career. But before her big move, the beauty had already established herself in Mexico.
She had already appeared in publications and commercials for well-known companies like Coca-Cola, Pantene, and Honda. She also dabbled in acting, appearing in a season of the Mexican comedy series Otro Rollo con Adal Ramones.
In the early 2000s, Two Management in Los Angeles signed Jimenez. She participated in a number of runway shows at that time. She might have attracted the attention of Vin Diesel at one of these gatherings. But the actor reportedly found it difficult to engage with the model because she was reportedly so preoccupied with her career at the time.
When did Vin and Paloma meet?
The general public is unaware of even the specifics of how the two met. Vin Diesel and Fast & Furious co-star Michelle Rodriguez were rumored to be dating in 2001. But no one knows the length of their relationship or even if they ever started dating.
Diesel stated to Towleroad six years later that dating a celebrity is "a sucker's bet." The publication also stated, "For that reason, Diesel prefers dating in Europe, where he’s not as easily recognized." "He thinks celebrity-on-celebrity hookups are crazy." "People going through your trash, taking your photo at Starbucks, and mashing up your last names into a Bennifer-style punch line."
According to rumors, Diesel and Jimenez met in the early 2000s. They then formally began dating sometime in 2007, after the actor expressed his distaste for Hollywood love stories. Since the model took a break from her modeling career to start a family with the actor, they have been inseparable.
Are Vin and Paloma secretly married?
The actual nature of Diesel's relationship with Jimenez is unknown. Over the years, they have established a family away from the spotlight, but that’s all the general public knows. Although they haven't publicly announced their union, it's very likely that they have been married in secret for some time. However, it is clear that the two have a stable relationship.
They were never moved by the accusations of adultery and homosexual behavior made against the actor in recent years. "I’m not gonna put it out there on a magazine cover like some other actors." "I come from the Harrison Ford, Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, and Al Pacino code of silence." "I’m not gonna do that," regarding his decision to not address each and every rumor, the actor said.
For a brief period in 2016, it was known that the couple was separating. It happened soon after they celebrated 10 years of marriage. Eventually, Diesel reassured everyone that, despite their 16-year age difference, his relationship with Jimenez has always been solid and free of the controversy then making the rounds in the media.
Does Vin Diesel have kids?
Paloma Jimenez and Vin Diesel have three wonderful kids together. The couple had their first child, a daughter named Hania Riley, in 2008, after one year of dating. The actor learned that his daughter was going to be born while he was on the set. He was convinced to leave by the late Paul Walker when Hania Riley was born. Fast & Furious: Spy Racers also features the firstborn of the actor.
Vincent Riley was the couple's second child, born two years after Hania Riley. Vincent is less well-known than his older sister. Pauline, the youngest, was born in 2015. She was given the name Paul Walker in honor of her father's close friend, who was more than just a co-star in the movie. When Vin Diesel was signing the register for his youngest child, he claimed he couldn't help but think of Walker. He also serves as the godfather to Meadow Rain, Walker's daughter.
