Teofimo Lopez’s mother’s name is Jenny Lopez. Much like Teofimo Sr., she is also a Honduran immigrant who moved to America in order to give their children a better life.

She worked as a bartender in a strip club in order to provide for her family.
To date, she is still married to Teofimo Lopez Sr. Whilst the two have had many difficulties and differences, they have stuck through and made it work. The two have been very supportive of their son in his boxing endeavors and Lopez Jr. owes his parents for the successful man he is today.
In 2019, Teofimo Lopez got married to Cynthia Lopez. This saw him face a lot of backlash from his mother and father. According to rumors, Teofimo’s parents did not approve of the union and were furious with their son. Eventually, the matter was settled and they are all supposedly on better terms now.

Teofimo met his wife Cynthia, an air hostess for the first time in 2018. After a victory over Victor Jones Freitas, Teo was on his way to Las Vegas when he first laid eyes on Cynthia. Immediately, he fell head over heels for her. Shortly after, the pair connected and in April 2019, they decided to tie the knot and get married. Soon enough, the pair were on their way to Greece for their honeymoon.
Speaking about Cynthia herself, she is a very well-built, fair, and attractive woman. Whilst she is believed to have Nicaraguan roots, her nationality is American. She is 5 feet and 6in (approx.) in height. Moreover, fans of the fighter and the couple will be very excited to know that the pair are already expecting and Cynthia is well along with her pregnancy.
Initially, Cynthia was not accepted by Teofimo’s parents but over time things have gotten much better. Whilst it is still unknown whether they are all on the best of terms or not, there is surely no more hostility between them.
Although it may not seem ideal, Teofimo Lopez’s Family has truly done well for themselves and found success in life. They have dealt through countless adversity and hardships and come out of them victorious.
