The long-running divorce between boxing icon Oscar De La Hoya and singer Milagros “Millie” Corretjer has reached a decisive chapter. Recent court filings in Puerto Rico confirm that Corretjer now holds sole ownership of two high-end properties on the island, marking a major financial turn in the couple’s separation.
The properties, located in San Juan and the exclusive Bahia Beach Resort in Río Grande, are valued together at $13.5 million. The San Juan residence is assessed at $3.5 million, while the Bahia Beach estate—a gated community known for its celebrity residents and pristine coastline—carries a $10 million price tag. The transfer was executed through a certified court order, a requirement under Puerto Rico’s property laws to legally change title deeds.
A marriage that spanned two decades
De La Hoya and Corretjer first crossed paths in 2000, marrying in October 2001. Over the years, they built a family with three children and accumulated joint investments, including these Caribbean holdings. The couple separated in 2016, but it wasn’t until January 2023 that De La Hoya officially filed for divorce. The final judgment was sealed, keeping the broader financial details private—but the real estate transfer had to be made public to comply with local regulations.
For Puerto Ricans, this case resonates beyond celebrity gossip. The island’s real estate market has seen growing interest from wealthy buyers, and the Bahia Beach Resort has become a symbol of that trend. It’s a place where luxury meets the tropics, and now it’s fully in Corretjer’s hands.
While the settlement’s other terms remain confidential, this property division is a clear signal of how the couple’s assets were split. For De La Hoya, the loss of these properties is significant, but it’s part of a broader personal and professional transition.
Life after the split
At 53, De La Hoya is focusing on his role as a promoter. His company, Golden Boy Promotions, continues to stage major fight nights across the globe, and he remains a visible figure in the sport. He’s also been open about his personal struggles, including past battles with substance abuse, but he’s channeled energy into his work and his relationship with sports broadcaster Holly Sonders, whom he met at a boxing event in 2021.
Corretjer, a beloved Puerto Rican singer, has kept a lower profile since the divorce, but she retains a strong fan base on the island. Her ownership of these properties ensures she remains tied to her homeland, even as her personal life moves forward.
This case also highlights how divorce settlements can intersect with real estate law, especially in territories like Puerto Rico where property transfers require specific legal steps. For those following the story, it’s a reminder that even the biggest stars must navigate the same bureaucratic processes as everyone else.
As De La Hoya continues to build his promotional empire, and Corretjer settles into her new status as a property owner, the chapter closes on a marriage that once seemed like a fairy tale. The real estate may have changed hands, but the legacy of their time together—and their three children—remains.
