It also became the height of her career and fame as she gained popularity from being an ex-wife to a celebrity.
How Rikkie Leigh Robertson Became AB Quintanilla’s Wife
Information regarding how Rikkie and Quintanilla met is a bit obscure, but since they are both natives of Corpus Christi, it is assumed that they met there. However, it is clearly obvious that they met in 2009, shortly after Quintanilla’s divorce from Brenda Ramirez, his third wife.
Coming from the same environment, hooking up wasn’t much of an issue for them. They dated for a period of two years and then got married on the 12th of November 2011.
They had a quiet wedding ceremony, having only close family members and closely knitted friends in attendance. The wedding took place in Corpus Christi, Texas, which was home to both bride and groom.
The union faced little criticism from outsiders alleging that Rikkie was a gold digger and only married into the Quintanilla family to get famous.

They created a joint YouTube channel where they hosted and invited fans to ask them 99 random questions.
A.B Quintanilla Was Married Three Times Before Rikkie Leigh
A.B. Quintanilla III had previously been married with kids to three different women. He married his first wife Evangelina Almeida, also known as Vangie, in 1988 when he was 24 years old.
The marriage had two children and only lasted about a decade and two years as they divorced in 2000. He then met and married his second wife, Heather Grein, an aspiring actress, in 2002. They married on the 20th of April, had two sons, and after two years of marital bliss, they called it quits as they divorced in 2004 due to irreconcilable differences.
A.B. Quintanilla went on to marry two other ladies; one of them, Brenda Ramirez, was his third wife. They got married in 2004, immediately after his divorce from Heather Grein. Quintanilla and Brenda had four children, two male and two female, and their union lasted till 2009 before they finally parted ways.

Why Did Rikkie Leigh and A.B Quintanilla Get Divorced?
Rikkie Leigh may have enjoyed the height of fame from her marriage with A.B. Quintanilla. However, the same could not be said of her marriage to him. The union, which was supposed to be a ‘happily ever after,’ survived only half a decade before both went their separate ways. No prior reports were given as to the cause of the break-up. If there were cases of scandal, domestic violence, or infidelity, they both did well to keep it away from the public.
They had no children together, even though they both have shared on their joint YouTube channel how lovely it would be for them to have children. That hope never came to reality as the years that followed saw them parting ways before they had a chance of summating their union.
We could also assume that the lack of children could be a probable factor in their separation; however, that won’t be logical as his past marriages have seeds and still go awry. On the 5th of July, 2016, the model’s ex-husband, A.B. Quintanilla, publicly announced the dissolution of their five-year marriage with a divorce in process, which was finalized before the end of the year that followed.
Before the eyes of the public, the divorce process was smooth and peaceful, with fewer angles to worry about, like child support and welfare, as the union had no offspring to consider. However, Rikkie Leigh had a contrary opinion to that fact when she publicly stated that the period of the divorce and the whole process were unpleasant for her, describing it as one of her worst life experiences.
