Since 2001, Vin Diesel, whose real name is Mark Sinclair, has been the star of Fast and Furious. As the penultimate film hits theaters in 2023, the actor seems to be living in perfect love with his longtime girlfriend, Paloma Jimenez. After briefly dating his on-screen partner Michelle Rodriguez, the actor began dating the Mexican in 2007. He later admitted it took him several years to find “the right person.”
Born in Acapulco, Mexico, Karla Paloma Jimenez Denagustin moved to the United States to become a model. In the early 2000s, she represented the Two Management agency in Los Angeles and then worked for brands such as Coca-Cola, Pantene or Honda. Also an actress, the young woman appeared in an episode of the Mexican television comedy Otro Rollo in 2004.

Very discreet about their private life, Vin Diesel and Paloma Jimenez have never confirmed their marriage and carefully choose the parties they go to together. “I’m not going to put her on a magazine cover like some other actors,” the 55-year-old had previously said. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2017, Vin Diesel indulged in a rare confidence about his wife. “What people don’t realize is she’s my rock, she’s incredibly beautiful on the inside,” he said.
For a few years, Paloma Jimenez seems to have put her career on hold to devote herself to the education of her three children. Indeed, the couple welcomed Hania Riley in 2008, Vincent in 2010 and Pauline in 2015. The latter was named in tribute to Paul Walker, who died in a tragic car accident in 2013. According to the actor revealed in We must save Private Ryan, Paloma Jimenez is today “the perfect mother”. A real daily support for the man with a very demanding career.
