Pena Nieto said Sunday his family played a key role in his success.

"I want to thank - and let me do it at this place and moment - especially to my wife Angelica, our children, my siblings, my mother, to all my family for their support throughout these months of campaign. Their love and comprehension have brought me this far. Thank you very much for always being with me," the new elected President said.

Pena Nieto's Life with Angelica Rivera

Pena Nieto met Rivera in 2008 when she joined his campaign for Governor of the State of Mexico. He reportedly proposed to her in February 2010 in The Vatican and they married in November the same year.

The couple has six children, three daughters from Rivera's previous relationship with producer Jose Alberto Castro and three children from Pena Nieto's previous marriage: two daughters and a son.

Domestic Violence Rumors

In May, a Mexican actress accused Pena Nieto of hitting Rivera and sending her to the hospital.

"Last weekend, the Presidential Candidate, EPN, severely hit his wife Angelica and the damage was such that she had to be admitted in the Hospital Angeles to recover from the wounds caused by the candidate," actress Laura Zapata wrote on Twitter.

Laura Zapata is the sister of famous Mexican singer Thalia.

Mexican radio station Radio Formula confirmed that Rivera was hospitalized for two days in March after she fell from the stairs.

Pena Nieto's Infidelity

Pena Nieto admitted to fathering two children with a mistress during his first marriage to Monica Pretelini who died in 2007.

Pena Nieto has called accusations that he was responsible for the death of his first wife “abominable.”
