Juana Ahumada Marriage to Pedro Rivera
Juana Ahumada met when she started working for Pedro Rivera as his assistant. Over time, the two slowly fell in love until they reached the point where they knew that they wanted to be together forever, and they got married.
The famous Mexican artist and his wife told Stephanie Himonidis and the world that they had been married for a few months before the interviews.

Until the announcement on the show, the news of their wedding was something that they kept to themselves. When asked about her relationship with Pedro Rivera, she said:
“He is a person who has a lot of passion for what he does, I love that, and he does not give up on anything, not even if he is trampled on, he does not give up; he’s very respectful of people, and I love that.”
Rivera also said about their marriage: “There are many (the mistakes), but we are people who at the same time are learning every day and all that is going to accumulate little by little, and right now I am a person who does directly to what we are doing, I enjoy it, and I am open-minded to everyone.”
