However, their marriage has faced many hurdles as Chavez Jr battled substance abuse, which he publicly blamed Frida for.
In 2016, the former world champion accused Frida of kidnapping their daughter. He believed she had been kidnapped after Frida took her to a different country without his knowledge.
Chavez Sr had to step in to confirm that Frida had not done so, but the incident only mounted pressure on their relationship.
Legal Troubles
During her marriage to Chavez Jr, Frida found herself embroiled in a public scandal after she was faced with legal challenges from Mexican authorities, in 2015.
During this time, the Mexican authorities froze her bank accounts as part of a wider investigation to find her former partner's father El Chapo, who had escaped from prison.
It took until 2018 for her cards to be unfrozen, but her public image took a mighty hit due to her connection with these illicit activities.

Nowadays, Frida is focused on creating a semblance of normalcy for her children while also balancing her time as an influencer.
Former world champion Chavez Jr takes on YouTuber and Mike Tyson victor Jake Paul on Saturday, June 28 in Anaheim.

Paramount Global says Skydance merger should close in two weeks
July 25 (Reuters) - Paramount Global (PARA.O), opens new tab said on Friday it expects to complete its merger with Skydance Media by August 7, following government approval for the $8.4 billion deal. Skydance CEO David Ellison is prepared to assume the helm at Paramount, home to the venerable Paramount Pictures, the CBS broadcast network, and a collection of cable television channels. The new chief executive already is confronted with questions from investors about the future of the Paramount+ streaming service, plans for Paramount's declining television assets, and forecasts for spending on content -- including professional sports. "Now that the long, drawn-out sale process is finally nearing its end, Skydance leadership is poised to take control," wrote MoffettNathanson media analyst Robert Fishman. "With that, the real work begins -- rebuilding Paramount, addressing the critical strategic questions ahead, and charting a path toward a more sustainable and competitive future." Announced more than a year ago, the merger will unite Paramount's prized film and TV library including classics such as "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's," with films it produced with Skydance, including "Top Gun: Maverick" and "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning." Ellison was not available for comment. He has previously said he plans to expand Paramount's technological capabilities, rebuild the Paramount+ platform and grow the streaming business, and reorganize the business to prioritize cash flow. A year ago, he said the team had identified $2 billion in cost savings. The Federal Communications Commission cleared the deal on Thursday, just weeks after Paramount settled a lawsuit filed by U.S. President Donald Trump over CBS' editing of a "60 Minutes" interview with his Democratic opponent, former Vice President Kamala Harris. The $16-million settlement drew criticism that Paramount had effectively bought regulatory approval, with the Democratic dissenter in the FCC's 2-1 vote calling it a "cowardly capitulation" to the Trump administration. The agency has repeatedly said its review was independent of the lawsuit.

Furious Disneyland guest 'turned away' from iconic Star Wars bar… and the reason impacts thousands of visitors
An enraged Disneyland guest has claimed he wasn't served alcohol at an iconic Star Wars bar at the theme park despite showing his driver's license… but there's a very simple explanation as to why. The 26-year-old, who hails from Canada, had been attempting to buy a drink at the Star Wars-themed bar Oga's Cantina at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, when they said they were 'turned away' because their ID was no sufficient. Taking to the Disney Reddit thread, the guest complained they had showed the bartender their drivers' license and a copy of their passport, but was told it 'wasn't enough.' 'I guess the silver lining is that I don't have to pay for the overpriced drinks but it's just little frustrating,' they continued. 'They accepted my drivers' license when I entered the park ... but the bar must be as important as an airport with the level of scrutiny they give you.' According to the Disney website, Oga's specializes in 'fantastical drinks sourced with ingredients from across the galaxy that will delight even the youngest crew members.' The website also notes that to order selections with alcohol, guests will need to show photo identification. It turns out, the reason he was denied alcohol could impact thousands of others planning to visit the theme park from around the globe. The Canadian visitor had been attempting to buy a drink at the Star Wars-themed bar Oga's Cantina (seen) at the Disneyland Resort in California Because he's a non-US resident, original passports are the only form of identification deemed acceptable by California law. Non-US driver's licenses, ID cards, temporary ID cards, and copies of ID cards are not acceptable. However, for residents of the US, an identification card issued by a governmental agency is allowed, as is a valid original passport and valid active US Armed Forces ID. Temporary driver's licenses, temporary ID cards, and copies of passports, driver's licenses or ID cards are not accepted. The tough measures are down to California law, which states that foreigners are required to show a valid passport in order to buy alcohol. Many Reddit users pointed out the guest's mistake and noted that the requirements are laid bare on Disney's website. One asked: 'Why would they accept a scan? So easily altered.' Echoing a similar sentiment, another wrote: 'I have no idea why anyone would accept a 'scan' of a passport as proof of anything except that you are a bad forger.' 'I totally get why that was frustrating, but California has pretty strict laws when it comes to serving alcohol,' said a third. 'Bars are required to see a physical government-issued ID with your name, photo, birthdate, and physical description… 'This isn't just a Disney policy. It's state law, and the staff have to follow it, or they risk serious penalties.' Earlier this week, Daily Mail laid bare the sneaky way Disney World is making things more expensive for guests. For years, the site provided a long list of epic perks for those staying at a hotel at the beloved theme park - like free gifts and complimentary transportation. But recently, many of those bonuses have slowly started to disappear... and now, some avid Disney fans feel that the silent removal of the benefits, along with rising prices, is simply ruining the magic.

Scheana Shay's husband Brock Davies breaks his silence about cheating on his wife when she was pregnant
Brock Davies has broken his silence about cheating on his wife Scheana Shay. Shay, 40, revealed that her spouse had cheated on her while she was pregnant with their now four-year-old daughter Summer Moon in her upcoming memoir, My Good Side. Davies opened up on the Friday during Shay's podcast Scheananigans. 'It's rough to realize that your actions have betrayed the ones that you love,' Davies, 35, said regarding the hurtful incident which happened when the couple were living in San Diego, California during the pandemic shutdown. 'It was a sexual affair. There was no dating. There was no courting,' he said. 'It was just purely that meetup, and then we had sex. And it happened multiple times over a three-week span.' Davies said he ended the fling with the unnamed woman because, 'I felt horrible about it,' he said, adding, 'I was like, "This is not okay. I'm not doing this." And I pulled the pin.' Admitting that he had been going to therapy, the reality star said he was able to stay quiet about his infidelity because he 'minimized what it was' and was able to 'compartmentalized it.' 'I was an absolute coward,' the Lopez vs Lopez actor admitted. 'That man was a coward, and he wasn't thinking about protecting you. He was just thinking about protecting himself, saving his face.' He continued, saying his actions were 'selfish. It was a self-preservation tactic, you could say,' he told Shay. 'I believed that I was never gonna do it again, and we could just move past this. ... And it was just another level of betrayal that I put on top of the first one.' Davies said he developed those tactics during his unstable upbringing in his native New Zealand which instilled in him a 'drive for achievement,' and the need to 'find my value in my achievements.' 'It created this egomaniac,' he explained. 'I detached from a lot of my emotions easily. I minimized a lot of my destructive qualities and characters. 'Looking back on that now, I can kind of understand where there's a serious problem there. It wasn't until I was open to learning more about that where I realized, "Okay, I am a part of this problem and I can change it."' In her memoir which was published on Tuesday, revealed in the was that Scandoval between co-stars Tom Sandoval and Rachel Leviss and rumors that Davies may have also consorted with Leviss, that lead to Davies' confession. On the podcast, The Valley star didn't mention anything about Leviss, who is living in Arizona and working as a sound bowl therapist, but did say running into friends in San Diego about 18 months after the fling reminded him that 'my destructive actions might cost me everything.' 'Since then, it has just been building up and building up,' he revealed. 'Every day, just got bigger and bigger and bigger, and the weight was heavier and heavier. 'And Scandavol, on the side of it all, was an element, but it wasn't the core reason.' 'I realized that in order for me to actually have a healthy relationship with you, one based on complete honesty, I needed to address this,' he told his wife. 'This was the one thing that was hanging over me. It burned a hole in my heart. It really did.' Shay writes in her book that Davies told her he was scared of being a dad again and would be a 'bad dad,' as a result of his relationship with son and daughter who live with his ex-wife and her new husband in Australia. 'I just used that as an easy way out," he asserted of Friday. 'And the reality is, you just gotta do the work,' saying he had 'a serious conversation with myself,' to become a better husband and father. He thanked his wife for modeling 'a type of forgiveness' he'd never known, adding, 'I'm proud of you for telling your story, and I'm sorry for this being a part of your story.'
