Canelo Álvarez has four children; three daughters, namely Emily Cinnamon Álvarez, María Fernanda Álvarez, and Ener Mía Álvarez, and an only son named Saúl Adiel Álvarez.
While it is important to know that the multiple championship-winning boxer had all his children with different women, it is equally important to note that we would probably not be talking about the Guadalajara, Jalisco native’s children were it not for his impressive sporting accomplishments as a professional boxer.
Canelo might be a beast in the ring, but he rarely shows that aspect of himself to any of his kids, all of whom he had before the age of 32. Let’s learn more about Canelo Álvarez’s children.
Canelo Álvarez Had His Children With Four Different Women
The majority of male athletes in the world today always have to deal with women from all walks of life throwing themselves at them due to their celebrity status. Canelo Álvarez is no different, and the Mexican boxer has indulged himself on more than one occasion with different women.
So far, though, those acts of indulging himself have led to the fact that all four of his children have different mothers, all of whom were actively sexually involved with Canelo at one point or the other. An interesting fact that is sometimes glossed over by other pressing events is the fact that one of Álvarez’s children is almost half his age. A fact that indicates that that child was born to him in his teenage years.
As previously stated, the talented boxer has three daughters and a son from these women, and to the uninformed, it can be a challenge to keep track of who gave birth to whom. With that in mind, let’s clear any lingering confusion regarding Canelo Álvarez’s children and the women he brought them into the world with.
There may not be any advantage in following a particular order but going by the age-old chivalrous practice that proposes that it should be “ladies first”, we will begin with his daughters.
Canelo Álvarez’s First Daughter, Emily Cinnamon Álvarez, is More Than Half His Age
- Date of birth: October 12, 2005
- Age: 18 years old
- Occupation: Student, Equestrian
Canelo Álvarez’s first daughter, Emily Cinnamon Álvarez, was born on October 12, 2005, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Her birth sign is Libra, and given her place of birth and parental heritage, we are not afraid to say that Emily Álvarez is a Mexican citizen.
Besides being his first daughter, Emily is also the first child of the boxer. The Mexican boxer was just 15 years old when he had his daughter with her mother, Karen Beltran, and upon birth, the celebrity child’s father gave her an English translation of his nickname Canelo, which translates to Cinnamon.
Prior to Emily’s birth, her parents, Canelo and Karen, were lovers and had dated for a while. That relationship was what led to the birth of the young girl whose beauty threatens to rival that of her gorgeous mother. Speaking of mothers, Emily’s mom is also a Mexican-born beauty who was born in the same hometown of Guadalajara, Jalisco, as she and her father.
It is also relevant to mention that, having been born on September 5, 1990, Emily’s mother is just a few months younger than her father and was already pregnant with Emily while celebrating her 15th birthday. In fact, that celebration was only one month and seven days away by the time the Mexican beauty let out that first cry and drew her first breath.
Emily Álvarez’s mother, Karen Beltran, keeps a low profile, but several confirmed reports have it that she is living in Mexico, where she is a social media influencer on Instagram with just over 29k followers as well as an actress. Few would dispute the love and affection that Emily’s mom has for her, as she has shown on several occasions, including during her high school graduation.
Emily’s Mom Got Custody of Her When Her Parents Broke Up
We have yet to ascertain what led to the breakup of Canelo Álvarez’s relationship with the mother of his first child, but we can confirm that Karen got custody of their child together when the former couple decided to go their separate ways.
A variety of factors were in play to determine who took custody of the newborn at the time of this breakup. First of all, Emily was an infant when her parents broke up, and one could argue that she needed her mother more than she did her dad at that point.
Another very unassailable factor was the fact that Canelo Álvarez’s career as a boxer was just taking off, and having a child around would have put a considerable dent in his ambition to become one of the best boxers in America today.
The aforementioned facts were not made to paint the boxer as a bad father, far from it. In truth, he has been a steady part of his firstborn’s life since she was born. Several reports confirm that he was always checking in to know how mother and child were faring.
Beyond the regular checks, he has also made significant financial contributions to the well-being of his daughter. Several sources confirm that he even got his first baby mama and daughter an apartment after she was born from his earnings at the time, even though those earnings barely compare to his income at present. This goes to prove that Canelo Álvarez was not a deadbeat dad.
Emily Cinnamon Álvarez Has a Good Relationship With Her Father
Canelo Álvarez’s commitment to the well-being of his firstborn from the time of her birth has ensured that the serial title winner has not been lumped into the deadbeat dad category. It has also ensured that the current distance has not been a barrier to the wholesome relationship he has with his beautiful daughter.
Physically too, the boxer shares some similarities with Emily. One such physical similarity is their red hair which led to him calling her ‘Cinnamon’, which is the English translation of his moniker ‘Canelo.’ He also calls her his ‘Little Princess,’ and one could almost guess that it is a nickname that will remain no matter how old Emily gets.
It is imperative to note that the bond between father and daughter was cultivated from when she was a toddler. Canelo was never ashamed to show her off and even took her along to press conferences he had before some of his boxing matches.
That relationship has carried on into the Mexican celebrity child’s teenage years. They have been spotted together in public on several occasions, and he made sure he was physically present during her high school graduation ceremony.
Emily Cinnamon Álvarez is an Equestrian
It is often the case that most celebrity kids, especially their first offsprings, irrespective of their gender, tend to follow the career path of their popular parents. However, there seems to be a notorious deviation from that narrative with respect to the Álvarez clan.
Emily Cinnamon Álvarez has always loved horse riding, and it certainly appears she wants to make a career out of it. She certainly has taken steps toward achieving her dreams.
While it may not be as eye-catching as other sports like basketball, football, soccer, or even boxing, Equestry requires just as much dedication and improvement as any of the aforementioned, and Emily certainly seems determined to give it her all.
She has been involved in several competitions both at home in Mexico and across the border in the United States, all with the support and backing of her parents, who have always encouraged her to pursue her dreams no matter how daunting.
Regarding her formal education, we can confirm that Emily Cinnamon Álvarez has graduated from high school, but details of the school where she acquired her diploma have yet to be revealed to the public. That said, we also don’t know whether she plans to go further in her studies or where she would accomplish that goal should she decide to embark on it.
Canelo Álvarez’s Firstborn Is Not Yet Dating
When we don’t study history, we are doomed to repeat it. Canelo Álvarez’s first daughter, Emily Cinnamon Álvarez, must have studied her parents’ history, and as it stands, it looks like she has no plans of repeating the history that saw her parents become parents at 15.
She is currently focused on her goals and academic pursuits; hence she is not in a romantic relationship at the moment.
Canelo Álvarez Allegedly Had a Daughter Named Ener Mía With Valeria Quiroz
- Year of birth: 2014 or 2015
- Age: 10 or 9 years old
- Occupation: Student
The media and the public have regularly perpetuated the premise that Canelo Alvarez has four children, including three daughters, but the boxer mostly refers to three of those four children whenever he talks about his children. You may be asking which of the children he leaves out, and that is fine. However, to answer those lingering questions, the boxer usually leaves out his daughter with Valeria Quiroz – Ener Mía Álvarez.
This has come with a consequence of its own, as it has led to very little information being available about Ener Mía Álvarez, including her exact date and place of birth. Although, certain reports claim she might have been born sometime between 2014 and 2015.
Other reports have assumed that he simply wants to keep her existence a secret, but the fact that he is not shy about showing off his other three children pokes a lot of holes in that analogy and makes us wonder what the actual reason might be.
Why Does Canelo Álvarez Hide His Relationship With His Daughter, Ener Mía Álvarez A Secret?
The more plausible explanation for this behavior is centered around the woman he allegedly had Ener Mía with. The woman in question is Valeria Quiroz, and she was born Valeria Rubí Quiroz in Mexico.
Added to the fact that she was the boxer’s ex-girlfriend, Ener’s mother is also a Mexican model. However, those facts and the exact date and location of her birth have been eclipsed by the controversy that continues to hang over her head to this day. That controversy could be the reason why Canelo seldom talks about the daughter he allegedly had with her.
The aforementioned controversy is centered on the confirmed prior existence of a relationship between Ener’s mother and ‘Chapo’ Guzman. Born Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, Chapo Guzman is the infamous Mexican drug lord who is a top-ranking member of the Sinaloa cartel, an international drug-trafficking organization.
Several sources have claimed that she ran away from the drug lord before commencing a relationship with Ener’s alleged father. Their relationship was, however, brief and allegedly resulted in the birth of a child.
At first, though, Canelo refused to claim Ener as his until her mother filed a paternity suit against him. She won the suit, and the boxer has been saddled with the responsibility of taking care of Ener ever since.
Ener Mía Álvarez Does Not Live With Her Father
We cannot be certain about exactly when it happened, but following the breakup between Ener’s mother and the man the law and society believe to be her father, she has since lived with her mother.
Given her mother’s background of being associated with a criminal organization, Ener Mía Álvarez’s exact living situation, including her address at the moment, has been kept away from the media and the public.
While it is unclear yet how involved the boxer is in her general well-being, we can, at the very least, confirm that, due to the provisions of the alleged paternity suit, Ener Mía Álvarez is financially well-taken care of.
Ener Mía Álvarez’s Relationship With Her Father Is Virtually Non-Existent
Beyond the financial obligations he is required to meet regularly, it is unclear what sort of relationship Canelo Álvarez has with a daughter he still believes was foisted upon him by a court system.
Going by the way he carries on with his other children, most would agree that Canelo is a very hands-on parent who likes to know everything that is going on in their child’s life as well as show them off to the public.
He has yet to do that with Ener Mía Álvarez, a very noticeable detail that suggests that his relationship with her is not that great. Given that she should be somewhere around seven to eight years old as of 2022, it would not be too far off to assume that Ener is still a middle schooler.
Maria Fernanda Álvarez is Canelo Alvarez’s Daughter With His Wife, Fernanda Gomez
- Date of birth: December 28, 2017
- Age: 6 years old
- Occupation: Student
Maria Fernanda Álvarez was born on December 28, 2017, under the sun sign of Capricorn. The Mexican celebrity child is the only child he presently has with his wife, Fernanda Gomez. She was born four years before her parents officially tied the knot in 2021. However, at the time of her birth, things were not exactly rosy between her parents, and their differences led to a brief breakup that lasted a while before they reconciled sometime later.
Maria Fernanda Álvarez’s mother, Fernanda Gomez, was born on June 22, 1996, in Chile to Chilean parents. Not much is known about her early years, but she has since developed herself into an Instagram influencer with over a million followers on the platform.
Her training as a fashion designer and a model set her up nicely for the opportunity to build and own various beauty businesses, including a nail bar and boutique based in her husband’s hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico.
Maria Fernanda Álvarez Lives With Her Parents
When her parents broke up shortly after her birth, Maria Fernanda Álvarez spent the next four years of her life living with her mother. That situation changed when her parents reconciled and exchanged marital vows on May 15, 2021, just a week after her father had defeated British boxer Billy Joe Sanders in a TKO title match to become the TKO middleweight champion.
Since then, the 6-year-old has lived with her parents and remains her father’s only child to do so among her three siblings. Details of her formal educational background have, however, been kept away from the media and the public but based on her age as of 2022, it would not be wild to guess that she is currently a kindergartner.
Maria Fernanda Has a Good Relationship With Her Father
Beyond their close living proximity, Maria Fernanda Gomez is also emotionally closer to her father than all his children. She has been spotted with the boxer on several social and professional outings.
Like her father, she has all the makings of being a witty, courageous, and confident individual, as evidenced by her reactions during a press conference that occurred before her father’s fight with Russian Dmitry Bivol for the WBA light heavyweight title.
While her father was busy fielding and answering questions from the media, Maria was busy making faces at the Russian, a gesture everyone present found bold and funny. Maria loves her father dearly and has also been spotted showing just how much with a birthday cake she presented to him on one of his birthdays.
Saul Adiel Alvarez is Canelo Álvarez’s Only Son To Date
- Date of birth: August 6, 2018
- Age: 5 years old
- Occupation: Student
Having done justice to the lives of the Mexican boxer’s female children, let’s have a look at the life of his only son, Saul Adiel Álvarez. Born on August 6, 2018, Saul Álvarez is the only son of the boxer to date. The young Saul was conceived and born during his father’s brief split from his now-wife, Fernanda Gomez. The boxer had hooked up with Saul’s mother, Nelda Sepulveda, but despite their relatively short fling, it was still long enough to have led to the birth of Saul.
Canelo met his son’s mother, a Mexican businesswoman, during the launch of her Mexican popsicle business in the United States. They chatted briefly, but their interest in each other became something more. In the end, it was not long enough, but Saul’s birth means that they are connected for life.
Canelo Álvarez’s Ex, Nelda Sepulveda Has Custody of His Son
The end of his parent’s relationship and his father’s subsequent marriage to Fernanda Gomez meant that Saul had to live with one of his parents at a time. Given his age, it was thought that it was best for the young boy to live with his mother. So far, that has been the arrangement, although Canelo is still actively involved in his son’s life.
Regardless of what they may think of each other, Saul’s parents have always agreed on one thing, and that is doing the best they can for their son at every point in time. So, the idea of staying with his mother, though it seems like the go-to line of action for the boxer – considering the fact that other children have stayed with their mothers – seems to have been the right decision.
Saul Adiel Álvarez Has a Steady Relationship With His Father
As previously mentioned, Canelo Álvarez is not someone who lives anything to chance when it comes to parenting, and even though Saul does not get to live with his father, he rarely feels his absence because the boxer always finds time to spend with him. They have been spotted together at different spots, including at different social events and also at the gym with his father.
For now, it would not be hard to assume that Saul Adiel Álvarez is still in elementary school, although details of the 5-year-old’s formal educational background have yet to become public knowledge. Only time will tell whether he will follow in his father’s footsteps to become a boxer.
Despite Having Children From Multiple Women, Canelo Álvarez Has Only Been Married Once
Having children from four different women is quite a staggering endeavor. Planned or not, the sheer baggage that comes with such enterprise is never for the fainthearted. As has been already established, the Mexican professional boxer has four beautiful kids, birth to him by four different women.
However, what needs to be said is that Canelo Álvarez is only married to one of his baby mamas – the Chilean-born fashion designer Fernanda Gomez. It is not known if he was engaged to any of his baby mamas at any point, but the much that is known is that their relationship – whatever shape or form it took, never made it to the altar.
