The Family Chantel star Pedro Jimeno has kept his love life a secret since his divorce from Chantel Everett, and recent signs suggest he might be single forever. Chantel’s quest to learn Spanish led her to language tutor Pedro through a mutual friend. What started as a tutor and student relationship soon turned into a full-fledged romance, and just after three face-to-face meetings, Pedro proposed. Still, after overcoming several hurdles, including initial disapproval from Chantel and Pedro’s family, the couple looked destined to be one of the few successful reality TV romance stories until they started experiencing issues.
Pedro’s employment at the “Laura Delgado Realty” would begin the couple’s separation. Pedro staying out late with his co-workers soon led to cheating allegations, and their marriage never really recovered. Despite Chantel’s efforts to save the marriage, Pedro showed no interest in continuing, and in April 2022, Pedro filed for divorce. Just a month later, Chantel filed her petition. The couple’s divorce proceedings quickly turned messy with allegations of theft and Pedro’s accusation that Chantel wanted to get him deported. Although the couple finalized their divorce in 2023, Pedro’s antics since then show he might’ve settled for a single life.
Pedro Jimeno Is All About Making Money
During his marriage to Chantel, Pedro often faced criticism for being a scammer who was only in the U.S. for money and didn’t really care about the future of his marriage. Once Pedro’s real estate career started, his behavior towards Chantel changed, since he no longer needed to depend on her. Additionally, Pedro placed himself in the firing line somewhat when the only time he showed emotion during their divorce proceedings was when he discovered that Chantel had taken $265k from their joint account.
Unsurprisingly, since the divorce, Pedro has stuck to his money-over-everything principle, as a quick check on his social media confirms. Pedro‘s Instagram page is littered with posts about his real estate, and he barely has time to post anything else. Fans following Pedro on Instagram, hoping for regular updates about his personal life, will have his business phone number memorized because selling real estate is the only thing Pedro has time for.
Pedro Jimeno Keeps His Post-Split Love Life Quiet
During an interview with the Associated Press, Pedro reiterated his desire to keep his love life private, promising to reveal things when the moment is right. Surprisingly, Pedro kept to his word, keeping information about his private life very close to his heart. Pedro’s reasons for keeping his relationship life private might stem from the criticism he received after his divorce from Chantel, with many fans accusing him of being a gold digger and unfaithful to Chantel. Pedro’s decision to keep his life private might be to protect his potentially new partner as much as himself.
How effectively Pedro has been able to keep his romantic life private might be down to him not sticking to one woman since his divorce.
Pedro and Chantel had a messy divorce, during which the duo both filed restraining orders against one another. Chantel also shockingly accused Pedro of mental and physical abuse in her legal documents. Fans could relate to all of Chantel’s pains, which were evident during The Family Chantel finale, and it’ll take a lot for Pedro to get back in their good graces.
Pedro Jimeno May Be A Player
During the latter stages of his marriage to Chantel, Pedro was allegedly involved in an office romance with a co-worker, Antonella Barrenechea. Chantel would later call out Antonella for always asking Pedro for a ride and leaving her name on his keys. However, after the revelation that Antonella was married with a child, fans started noticing Pedro and Antonella’s aunt, Laura Delgado, the owner of the real estate firm. Pedro was pictured looking cozy and on vacation with Laura, Antonella, and her family. Despite the signs, Pedro denied any of these allegations and has kept his life private since.
Also, how effectively Pedro has been able to keep his romantic life private might be down to him not sticking to one woman since his divorce. Pedro was linked to Antonella and Laura within a few months, and he has also been making more money from his real estate career. With no strings to hold him back since his divorce from Chantel, Pedro has all the incentives to be a player. Also, if Pedro’s time on The Family Chantel revealed anything, it’s that a committed relationship might not be what he wants for the foreseeable future.
