So, I was digging into Canelo Alvarez’s life the other day. You know, the boxer? Turns out, there’s a lot about his family that’s pretty interesting. I mean, everyone knows he’s a superstar in the ring, but what about the folks behind him? That’s what I wanted to find out.
First off, I started with the basics, like who his parents are. His mom’s name is Ana Maria Barragan, and his dad’s name is Santos Alvarez. They apparently split up at some point, but they were both super important in Canelo’s life growing up. I mean, family is family, right?
- Ana Maria Barragan – that’s Canelo’s mom.
- Santos Alvarez – that’s the dad.
I read that Canelo was born on July 18, 1990, in Guadalajara, Mexico. But get this, his family originally came from Michoacan. They moved to Jalisco in the ’90s, looking for a better life. Canelo’s parents started selling ice pops at a market to support the family. And Canelo, along with his siblings, helped out too. Talk about humble beginnings!
Then I found out that when Canelo was just five years old, the whole family moved to Juanacatlan, Jalisco. They lived on a farm, and that’s where Canelo learned to ride horses, which he still does today. Pretty cool, huh? And here’s a fun fact: Canelo is the youngest of eight kids. Eight! Can you imagine growing up in a house with seven siblings?
Canelo’s Own Family
Now, fast forward to today, and Canelo’s got his own little family. He’s a real family man, close with his four kids and all those siblings. I found out he’s got three daughters and one son. And one of his daughters is named Emily, which I thought was a nice, normal name for a boxing superstar’s kid.
So, yeah, that’s what I learned about Canelo Alvarez’s parents and his family life. It’s pretty cool to see how much his family influenced him, from selling ice pops to supporting him in his boxing career. It just goes to show, no matter how famous you get, your family’s always there, right?
