Marisela and Sánchez met while she was working in Los Angeles. Interestingly, Chalino's cousin orchestrated the meeting, and the lovebirds eventually wedded in 1984 while Marisela was pregnant with Alan, her first child. They also had a daughter called Cynthia before Rosalino was shot and killed.

Not much is known about Chalino Sanchez's daughter. However, his son, Alan, took after him and was a celebrated artiste in the US and Mexico. Unfortunately, he died 12 years after his father in a road accident on his way to his father's home.

How did Chalino Sanchez die?

Chalino Sanchez died in Mexico on 16 May 1992 in what can best be described as an organised murder. While performing on stage, he received a letter containing a threat to his life, and he left the stage just after reading this letter.

The iconic singer left the club with his two brothers, his cousin, and some young ladies. On their way, some armed men who claimed to be state police pulled the group over in Chevrolet Suburbans and took one of his brothers. The supposed police officers convinced Chalino that the commandant wanted to see him; he joined them in their vehicle and allowed the other cars to follow.

Yes, Chalino Sanchez's wife is. She even obtained American citizenship. While expressing how grateful she was, she said:

They also asked me to have my taxes in order and to verify my stay in the country because I was entering and leaving because of my mother's illness. I had to show how many times I had been in and out, and for how long. I felt liberated and I feel like now I can express myself.

Marisela Vallejos Felix's net worth

According to Wealth Celebrity's website, Marisela Sanchez's net worth is allegedly $3 million. She is reportedly a businesswoman, though details of her business are unknown.
