What We Know About Rikkie Leigh Robertson And A.B. Quintanilla’s Marriage
It is not quite clear how exactly Rikkie Leigh Robertson and A.B. Quintanilla actually met each other. Abraham Isaac Quintanilla III, who otherwise goes professionally by the moniker A.B. Quintanilla is a complete musician, singer, songwriter, and music producer extraordinaire who is an American by birth. The music mogul was born on the 13th of December 1963 and was an elder sibling to Selena Quintanilla who was largely referred to as ‘The Queen of Tejano Music’.
Although the couple were dating each other for about two years before settling down together, there’s no substantial information on where or even how they met each other. What is clear though, is that between 2009 and 2011, the lovebirds were caught up in a world of their own and finally on the 12th of November 2011, the couple finally decided it was time to let others into their world as they tied the nuptial knots.
This was done in a closed-off wedding with only family and close-knit friends of the family as guests of the below radar event which took place in the bride’s hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas. For a while, their marriage seemed to be blossoming as they even had a YouTube channel together, where they hosted ’99 Random Questions Tag’.
All seemed fair in Rikkie and Quintanilla’s love land as the latter was quick to dismiss those who branded Rikkie a gold digger, as he spoke about how principled she is and how much he has learned from her, especially how to be frugal.

Rikkie Leigh and A.B. Quintanilla Got Divorced After Five Years
For the couple, A.B. Quintanilla and Rikkie Leigh Robertson, their definition of ‘together forever’ seems to be 5 years, because that’s exactly how long the union lasted before it imploded. There is little known about the actual cause or causes of the failure of their marriage as there were no reports of cheating, neither were there reports of domestic violence, fraud, betrayals nor any apparent scandal of any sort in their decision to go their separate ways.
While there most likely might be more than meets the eye, their decision to end their ‘undying’ love after just five years seems to be nothing much more than two individuals falling out of love with each other as opposed to two persons having irreconcilable differences with each other.
The fact that the couple had no kids together might have been one of the factors that led to their eventual breakup. However, this is most unlikely because A.B. Quintanilla has welcomed eight children of his own from four women before he met Rikkie. He has proven before that a child is not a reason for him to remain with a woman and as such, it would be difficult to see him remaining with Rikkie because they have a child together.
On the 5th of July 2016, A.B. Quintanilla officially announced his separation from his wife of 5 years, Rikkie Leigh Robertson, and by September the next year, the divorce was finalized. While the eventual divorce and its terms are not public knowledge at this time, the absence of children as factors to consider in the separation process meant that things were a lot smoother, and the consequent divorce settlement a whole lot easier. However, despite the apparent ease of the divorce, Rikkie Leigh has publicly stated that the divorce process was ugly, touting it as one of the worst experiences of her life.
