Is Ivy Queen transgender?
Ivy Queen is not transgender. It is just a rumour to grab the audience’s attention for views and likes; however, it is not true, and the singer is cisgender. She was a female by birth and called herself a female.
The LGBTQ community played a vital part in supporting her. It gave her the title, “La Diva,” so Ivy Queen also acknowledged that she would have been nothing without LGBTQ as they were extensively involved in shaping her career by supporting her in concerts and clubs. Her masculine tone of voice has many times left her music fans with thoughts that she is transgender; however, she is not gay and considers herself female. She is also the mother of three children; two of them were adopted, and in November 2013, she gave birth to her biological child.
Ivy Queen relationship
Earlier, Ivy Queen was married to her fellow Reggaeton music artist Gran Omar, famous by his stage name Omar Navarro; unfortunately, her ex-husband’s excessive workload and travel resulted in the end of their nine-year-long marriage as they were not living together for two months due to her ex-husband busy schedule which created a gap and subsequently broke off their relationship.
Later, from mid-2006 to mid-2007, she was in a relationship with DJ Urba. In 2010, people speculated about her relationship with American actor Vin Diesel when she visited the 2010 Premios Juventud. However, she later clarified the rumour on Escandalo TV by saying they were good friends.
In 2012, she got married to Puerto Rican choreographer Xavier Sanchez. The couple adopted two Latino children, and later, in 2013, they revealed her pregnancy at a Calibash concert with Chris brown show and welcomed her baby in November of 2013.
The speculation about the Ivy Queen transgender has been dismissed by the facts of her life mentioned above, and the spreading of rumour, especially on such a delicate topic, should be refrained as it dramatically affects the reputation of the celebrities.
