“The Riveras” the hit celeb-reality she also executive produces is slated to premiere on UNIVERSO in March, 11th 2018.

Growing up isn’t easy but together they’re stronger.
In Mid-March Chiquis is set to release her 2nd studio album “Entre Botellas”.
In April 2015, Chiquis released her memoir titled “Forgiveness” which climbed to #15 on the New York Times Best Selling list. In it she reveals that her father molested her when she was a little girl, and details the well-publicized fight with her mother before her death and not being able to say goodbye.
On June 2, 2015 Chiquis released her debut album, Ahora, and became the first woman to top the Latin Album charts since her late mom. Many fans of Jenni and critics alike, feel Chiquis has not earned her career in music and that it was simply handed to her by her mother. Humbled by the journey, Chiquis is focused not so much on proving her critics wrong but proving to herself that she can do it. She is currently working on her second record.
