Behind closed doors, the partnership was fraying. In early January 2021, Jiménez published a formal divorce announcement on Instagram, confirming that she and Trueba had been living apart for months after filing paperwork in Miami-Dade court during 2020. She emphasized that protecting Alessandra remained their top priority.
The separation, however, turned into an arduous legal battle. Trueba contested multiple issues in court, including financial arrangements and primary residential custody. The central point of contention was Trueba's refusal to grant their daughter permission to leave the United States to join Jiménez on her international concert tours, particularly across Mexico.
For more than a year, Jiménez was forced to commute between Miami and Latin America, spending long stretches away from her child while fulfilling binding concert contracts. The dispute came to a head in December 2022. In an emotional video posted to her verified social accounts, Jiménez wept with relief after a Florida family court judge ruled in her favor, approving Alessandra’s international travel documentation. She could finally bring her daughter on tour without legal interference.
