BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: The on-screen marriage of Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez in the 'Fast & Furious' franchise may be well known to viewers. However, few people are truly familiar with Mexican model Paloma Jimenez, who has been his longtime companion in real life. Diesel has been in a 16-year relationship with Jimenez. However, the couple has never been married and no one knows why.

Diesel has been romantically involved with other women, but he decided to have a family with Jimenez and prefers to keep their relationship low-key. Meanwhile, Diesel is basking in the success of 'Fast X.' With Jason Momoa having recently joined the "family" in the most recent movie, it now seems that lead actor Diesel (aka Dominic Toretto) has developed a rumored feud with him.



 

Why did Diesel and Jimenez never walk down the aisle?

The 55-year-old actor and the 39-year-old Mexican-born model have three children together, but it's apparent neither one of them has ever been the "in a hurry to get married" kind. Diesel revealed to Parade years ago that he deliberately took his time in looking for Ms Right. The 'Fast X' star yearned to have kids while shooting the movie 'Pacifier,' in which he was surrounded by children, but he didn't rush into anything. The pair has kept their non-marriage status a secret, just like practically everything else in their lives. Diesel has nevertheless honored his longtime partner, despite their non-marriage status. In 2014, he shared a picture of Jimenez cradling their son on his Instagram page. Diesel referred to Jimenez as his "Mayan Queen" and stated, "There is no greater gift to a man than a loving mother to his children."

Although it's unclear how the couple first met, sources claim that they were first spotted together in 2007. Diesel and Jimenez have essentially kept every aspect of their relationship a secret since they started dating. Regardless of how interested we are in Diesel's personal life, we cannot help but admire him for his steadfastness.

Diesel and Jimenez have welcomed three children together. They welcomed their son Vincent Sinclair in 2010; daughter Pauline, named after Paul Walker, Diesel's 'Fast & Furious' co-star and close friend, in March 2015; and daughter Hania Riley, whom they call Similce, in April 2008.

What does Paloma Jimenez do?

Before having a family with Diesel, Jimenez had her own career in the entertainment sector, but she chose to step away from the spotlight and concentrate on having a family. This enabled Diesel to pay more attention to his career.

She served as the cover model for the magazines Maxim Mexico and Max Mexico in January 2005 and August 2006, respectively. She also made appearances on a variety of runways, including those in 2006 and 2007 for the Spring/Summer ready-to-wear collections for various designers like Carlo Demichelis, Alberto Rodriguez, and others. In the early 2000s, she worked as a model for the Los Angeles modeling firm Two Management, participating in various catwalk shows. One of those events might have introduced her to her current partner, Vin Diesel. According to Us Weekly, she also made an appearance in a 2004 episode of the Mexican comedy series 'Otro Rollo con: Adal Ramones.'

Vin Diesel vs Jason Momoa 'Fast X' feud

Although we are incredibly curious about Diesel's personal life, we comprehend his decision to keep that aspect of his life private. Diesel is, however, more than happy to share information with his fans regarding his acting career. The wildly successful 'Fast & Furious' franchise, known for bringing in billions of dollars for Universal Pictures, has not been exempt from behind-the-scenes turmoil and conflicts among its actors and staff.

Now, it seems that the movie's stars Vin Diesel and Jason Momoa, who recently joined the 'Fast family,' are rumored to be having a feud. While 'Fast X' isn't the best 'Fast and Furious' film, Momoa's vibrant performance as Dante Reyes is one of the franchise's finest villainous performances.

Momoa has established himself as one of Hollywood's most viable stars because of his fascinating performances in films like 'Aquaman' and 'Dune.' It can surprise people that Diesel seems not to like him given his great charisma and the passionate fanbase that enthusiastically embraces his films.

According to an insider who spoke to Radar Online, "Vin is embarrassed Jason is being branded the only bright spot in the film and stealing his thunder in the franchise he built himself." According to Diesel, Momoa's "overacting" and "scene-stealing" compromised the artistic integrity in 'Fast X,' a film where someone attempts to blow up the Vatican.

The insider continued, "Jason is aware that he is currently the flavor of the moment, and Vin feels a tinge of envy towards him. However, he doesn't appreciate Vin's attempts to tarnish his public image. This has the potential to escalate into Hollywood's next significant feud."

Right now, it is difficult to verify whether these alleged feud reports are true. However, if they are even partially true, it might lead to a situation similar to the widely reported dispute between Diesel and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
