Little is known about Paloma’s parents and other relatives – they still live in Mexico and Paloma often visits them there. She moved to the US to pursue her modeling career as she always dreamed of modeling or acting.

Educational background

Paloma graduated from her local high school in Acapulco in 2001 and then began working as a model, without attending college or university.

Career

Paloma’s career developed quite successfully, because after only a few years of modeling, she graced the cover of Maxim Mexico in 2005 and worked with agencies such as ID Model Management, Two Management and Look Models (Mexico). During her career, she has appeared in advertising campaigns for brands such as Honda, Coke and Pantene. However, she stopped active modeling in 2008, when she gave birth to her first child and focused on her family life and the new role of mother. In 2016, she claimed that she would go back to modeling the way she used to work in the industry before having kids, but she still rarely appears in some print ads, etc.

Personal life, husband Vin Diesel

Paloma is a long-term partner of Vin Diesel, a popular American actor. They met in 2006 and moved in together. They never comment on their private lives, so no one actually knows the reason why they skipped the official marriage. However, Paloma gave birth to their three children: the eldest daughter, Hania Riley, was born in 2008, the middle one, son Vincent, in 2010, and their youngest, daughter Pauline, in 2015. Vin Diesel announced the birth of his third daughter on his Facebook account on March 16, 2015, stating that she was named after his late friend and colleague, Paul Walker, who co-starred with Vin in “The Fast and the Furious” film series; Paul Walker died in a car accident in 2013 and Vin is the godfather to Paul’s daughter Meadow.

Did Vin Diesel cheat on Paloma?

In 2016, some sources close to Vin and Paloma announced that the couple was about to break up, when Paloma found out that Vin was cheating on her. According to sources, she was fed up with the news of his affairs and would “take back control of her life” to revive her modeling career. However, the rumors have not been proven to be true, and the couple still lives together, and no new rumors have surfaced since then. In 2001, Vin dated fellow actress Michelle Rodriguez; they still work together, starring in “The Fast and the Furious” movies. The fact of their previous relationship also cast a shadow on Vin and Paloma’s life.

Vin Diesel’s brief biography and career

Born on July 18, 1967 as Mark Sinclair, Paloma’s partner rose to fame as Vin Diesel, an American actor, producer and director.

Raised in Alameda County, California, he never met his biological father, while his mother, Delora Sherleen Sinclair Vincent, worked as an astrologer; she is of German, Scottish and English descent. Vin has fraternal twins, Paul.

Vin started performing on stage when he was only seven years old, getting his first role in Barbara Garson’s production of “Dinosaur Door”. An interesting fact was that Vin had no intention of taking part in the play; he, his friend and his brother were caught by the director of the Theater for the New City, when the trio tried to break and destroy the locks of the theater room.

In terms of a deal, the director suggested roles in the play to the boys instead of calling the police. Vin liked to act on stage and decided to become an actor. He also developed his screenwriting talent by attending Hunter College in New York.

Vin is mostly famous for appearing in such films as “XXX”, in which he played the lead role of Xander Cage, and “The Fast and the Furious” film series, in which he portrays Dominic Toretto. His role of Richard B. Riddick in “The Chronicles of Riddick” was criticized by the public and pundits, and the entire series of “Riddick” films was not as successful as Vin had hoped, as he also produced the films.

He was even dubbed “Worst Actor” and won the Golden Raspberry Award in 2005. However, Vin once again won the hearts of his fans by voicing Groot in “Guardians of the Galaxy” (2014) – his character appeared in the “Avengers”, ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ and ‘Avengers: Endgame’.
