Vin Diesel, the Hollywood star, who is best known for playing Dominic Toretto, the family man and fearless driver, seems to have a much quieter real-life, infused with his partner and kids.For nearly two decades, he’s been with Paloma Jiménez, a Mexican model who’s managed to keep her life mostly out of the spotlight. If you’re curious about who she is, how they got together, and what their family looks like, here’s the scoop.

Who is Paloma Jiménez?

Paloma Jiménez, who is Vin Diesel’s long-time partner, is from Acapulco, Mexico. Per People, she started out as a fashion and commercial model before she met Diesel and moved to the United States. For the unversed, Paloma isn’t the type to chase the camera or post her life all over social media. Instead, she has built a life with Diesel that’s calm, private, and centered around their family. When you see them together, it’s usually at a rare public event or maybe in a paparazzi shot; otherwise, they keep their relationship pretty close to the chest.Vin and Paloma have been together since 2007. The couple probably met through friends or the entertainment scene, although no one really knows the exact story. Diesel, who’s always had fun talking about his personal life, once joked that he wasn’t in a hurry to get married. For them, it’s always been about building a real foundation — marriage or not.After all these years, they’ve managed to avoid the drama and headlines that follow so many Hollywood couples. Paloma stays off social media, and Diesel doesn’t share a lot about their private life.
