Frida eventually met Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., and the two got married, though the exact date of their wedding remains undisclosed.

In 2021, reports of a separation also emerged, with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. accusing Frida of psychological mistreatment.

Despite the highly publicized separation, the couple seems to have reconciled since.
Today, Frida Muñoz has carved out a new chapter as a social media influencer. With over 80,000 followers on Instagram, she regularly collaborates with brands and promotes a healthy lifestyle. Her online presence reflects a shift toward stability and self-empowerment, even as she continues to be tied to a life once marked by high-profile relationships and emotional trials.
