During a recent interview, Maria said, “I imagined our wedding news would go viral in a positive way. People would think what a beautiful love story, but it didn’t happen.” Later, Nixon revealed that he didn’t expect such a negative reaction, because he already told people it wasn’t because of his money.

He further said, “Many people are saying I’m probably rich and she wants to marry a rich man. But that’s not the case. We probably met when she was just 16 years old.”

Maria also said, “Everything has always been consensual between us. He never did anything that I didn’t agree with. I also didn’t do such stuff and he never forced me to do anything, or been taken to places I didn’t want to go.” Nixon continued, “Our love story, from the beginning till now is amazing.”

But Maria also revealed that initially many people were against their relationship, “After we met, we became close, started hanging out as friends, and initially, we hooked up.”

Maria recently entered motherhood and gave birth to a daughter.
