George Lopez’s Family: Wife, Daughter, and Divorce

George Lopez married Ann Serrano in 1993. Together they had a daughter, Mayan, who was born in 1996.

Here’s something many people didn’t know about George – the actor has a genetic disease that caused his kidney to fail. His doctors told him that he needed a kidney transplant to survive. George decided to have the operation after the fourth season of his show, George Lopez. His wife Ann donated one of her kidneys to him in 2005. The transplant was a success and George’s health recovered tremendously, losing as much as 45 pounds after the operation. Since then, the man has been at the forefront of drawing attention to the issue.

For many years, George and Ann were together before they decided to go their separate ways in September 2010. His wife filed for divorce in November 2010, citing “insurmountable differences” in the divorce proceedings. The divorce was finalized on July 1, 2011.

Since the divorce, George Lopez has kept a relatively low profile. Although he was seen here and there with a few mysterious ladies, he has not been in a committed relationship since the divorce.

Height, Weight & Body Measurements

He’s in better shape since George’s transplant. He may not have the traditional “Hollywood Hunk” physique, but he is still in good shape for his age. The comedian currently weighs 72 kg (159 pounds), which to be honest is pretty amazing for his stated height of  5′ 10″ (1.78 m).

However, his other body measurements (such as chest, biceps, waist), fitness program, and diet are still unknown. Considering that the actor has lost more than 45 pounds since his kidney transplant, it is safe to assume that the actor is following a physical exercise routine and a healthy diet to lose weight and maintain it. In addition, George would have to lead a healthy life since the operation to function optimally.
