George Lopez and Mayan Lopez’s relationship started to get rocky when George separated from his ex-wife, Ann Serrano. According to TV Guide, the couple called it quits in 2017 after 17 years of marriage. A statement released shared, “George and Ann Lopez have made the decision to end their 17-year marriage. The decision is amicable and by mutual agreement. They remain dedicated parents, and committed partners in business and their philanthropic organization.” What added salt to the wound was that Ann had donated one of her kidneys to her ex-husband, for their family and Mayan, just a couple of years before the split, per WebMD. And while they promised to be “dedicated parents” to Mayan, Ann seemed to take it more seriously than George.
Mayan was 14 years old at the time of the divorce, but she took it hard. George told “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” “I was divorced and then, you know, Mayan and I didn’t talk for a long time.” For years, the father-daughter duo missed out on holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions with each other. Mayan told People, “My character got to have Christmas with her family, and I got jealous because I hadn’t had Christmas with my family since [parents George and Ann Serrano had] gotten divorced.” However, as time passed, George and Mayan were able to get their relationship back to what it once was.
