At a Glance
- Oscar De La Hoya has six children with four different women across 16 years
- Daughter Atiana was raised by Travis Barker after Oscar stepped back from parenting
- Devon, 27, turned pro boxer under his father’s Golden Boy banner
- Why it matters: The Golden Boy’s private family saga shows the human cost of fame and the blended families it creates
Oscar De La Hoya, once the undisputed king of the boxing ring, has built an equally complex legacy outside the ropes: six children, four mothers, and a parenting journey he calls both “beautiful” and “not worthy.”
The Early Years: Two Sons in Nine Months
In 1998, the Olympic gold medalist became a father twice in rapid succession.
- Jacob, born Feb. 18, 1998, to Toni Alvarado
- Devon, born Nov. 30, 1998, to Angelicque McQueen
Both boys are now 27 years old. Jacob earned a B.S. in real estate development from USC and works in sales at Molten after a stint at Golden Boy Promotions. Devon chose the family trade, turning pro in 2018 and crediting his dad’s mantra-“consistency”-for his rise in the ring.
The Daughter He Let Go
On March 29, 1999, Shanna Moakler gave birth to Atiana De La Hoya. Within a year, the couple split. Moakler soon married Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, who became the day-to-day father figure.
Oscar later told News Of Losangeles, “I did try to be a father full-time for a few years, and it was beautiful… but there came a point where you say to yourself, ‘Wait a minute. You’re not worthy of this.'” He credits Barker for “stepping up to the plate” and calls himself “grateful” for the blended arrangement.
Atiana, now 26, models and once starred in Lifetime’s Growing Up Supermodel. She attended Barker’s 2022 wedding to Kourtney Kardashian and counts nearly 600 k Instagram followers.
The Marriage Team: Three Kids, One Decade
Oscar married Puerto Rican singer Millie Corretjer in 2001. Together they had:
| Child | Birthdate | Age | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oscar Jr. | Dec. 29, 2005 | 20 | Keeps a low profile, no public social media |
| Nina | Dec. 29, 2007 | 18 | Featured in dad’s 2014 “Golden Nina” video boxing at age 5 |
| Victoria | Jan. 14, 2014 | 12 | Kept secret for almost a year; named for “victory” after Oscar’s low point |
The couple separated in 2016, though divorce paperwork wasn’t filed until January 2023.
Life After the Spotlight
While his older kids navigate adulthood-Jacob golfing, Devon training rescue pit bulls, Atiana walking red carpets-Oscar keeps the younger three off social media. Occasional Instagram posts show Victoria in USC colors at the Rose Bowl and Nina shadow-boxing in gloves sized for tiny hands.
Father’s Day 2021 summed it up: “My kids are my world… I love you all with everything I have in my heart,” he wrote under a family dinner photo.
Key Takeaways
- Six kids, four moms, zero apologies-Oscar owns both his presence and absence
- Atiana’s modeling success came with Barker, not biology, as the daily dad
- Devon carries the gloves; Jacob carries the degrees-both credit their father’s example
- Victoria’s name is a daily reminder that the Golden Boy still fights, now for family rather than titles
