What We Know About Oscar De La Hoya's 6 Kids

Highly regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time, Oscar De La Hoya had a boxing career that earned him 10 world titles across six different weight classes. He won his first gold medal at the 1992 Olympics, and went on to compete for the next 16 years before ultimately hanging up his gloves in 2008. Throughout his career, De La Hoya made over $700 million just in pay-per-view income, per Forbes [1], and following his retirement, the boxing legend has dedicated time to his boxing promotional firm Golden Boy Promotions. The life and legacy of De La Hoya, including his relationships over the years, is at the forefront of the two-part HBO documentary "The Golden Boy," streaming now on Max.

Outside of his profession, De La Hoya has had a number of high-profile relationships and is a father to six children. His hectic boxing career didn't always make it easy for him to be around for his kids, but the star nonetheless supports them as much as he can today. He opened up about his experience with fatherhood in an episode of the "Allison Interviews" podcast [2], sharing, "I did try to be a father full-time for a few years, and it was beautiful. It was amazing to raise a little girl, but there came a point where you say to yourself, 'Wait a minute. You're not worthy of this.' You try to convince yourself that you are not worthy of this; that love is not possible in your life, because of what I lived through, not receiving that love when I was a kid. My father never told me, 'I love you.'"

Read on to learn about De La Hoya's six children.

Jacob De La Hoya

De La Hoya welcomed his first son, Jacob, with ex-girlfriend Toni Alvarado on Feb. 18, 1998, per People [3]. Jacob enrolled in the University of Southern California in 2017 and graduated in 2020 with a degree in real estate development, according to his Linkedin [4].

Currently, he works as a sales development representative with Molten, a cloud technology company. He previously managed two different positions at his dad's company, Golden Boy Promotions, as a business operations associate and public relations specialist.

Devon De La Hoya

Less than a year after Jacob De La Hoya was born, the boxing star welcomed his second child, a son named Devon De La Hoya, on Nov. 30, 1998 with his then-girlfriend Angelicque McQueen, as reported by People. Unlike his older brother, Jacob followed in his dad's footsteps and began boxing professionally in 2018.

In a January 2018 interview with KTNV Channel 13 News [5], Devon opened up about having the support from his dad as he started his career in the ring. "Our relationship is great. He's one of my biggest supporters," he said. "He taught me to set your goals and follow that one path and it'll all pay off in the end."

Atiana De La Hoya

De La Hoya's third child, a daughter named Atiana De La Hoya, was born on March 29, 1999 to his then-fiancée Shanna Moakler. De La Hoya and Moakler's relationship didn't last, and the couple split a year after Atiana was born. Moakler went on to marry Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker in 2004, and De La Hoya has given Barker credit for raising his daughter when he wasn't around.

In a 2023 interview with Entertainment Tonight [6], the boxing star told the outlet, "Look, I didn't raise my kids, you know? Their moms did. And I have to give credit where credit is due. I'm grateful that Barker was there, you know, as a father figure for my daughter. I have to be grateful that Shanna was a mother to Atiana, and just know my place, basically, you know? My place — I'm obviously a father, and I'm proud of it. But, again, I'm grateful for what they've done, especially with Barker. He's obviously stepped up to the plate."

Atiana is a model and influencer with over 600,000 Instagram followers [7]. Despite growing up with her dad absent at points, she has had nothing but good things to say about him. She opened up to Galore Magazine [8] in a June 2021 interview about having Barker and De La Hoya as father figures, saying, "I truly think they both are the best at what they do, and aside from everything they've taught me about life, seeing the work they put in every day to be where they are is the goal." Atiana starred with her dad on "Masterchef" 2019.

Oscar Gabriel De La Hoya Jr.

Oscar Gabriel De La Hoya Jr. was born on Dec. 29, 2005. Oscar Jr. is the first of three kids De La Hoya had with ex-wife Millie Corretjer, whom he married in 2001. Though Oscar does not have social media, his dad does occasionally share pictures with his son on his Instagram, including a picture of the father-son duo at a baseball game together.

Lauren "Nina" Nenitte De La Hoya

De La Hoya and Corretjer's second child, a girl named Lauren "Nina" Nenitte De La Hoya, was born on the same day as her older brother Oscar, in 2007. Like some of her other siblings, her personal life is kept private. De La Hoya shares snippets of his daughter on Instagram, but not regularly.

On Father's Day [9] in 2021, he shared a picture [10] with his kids together for the holiday, writing on Instagram, "Happy Father's Day to all !!! My kids are my world, thank you kids for being amazing humans with incredible hearts . I love you all with everything I have in my heart."

Victoria Lauren Rose De La Hoya

De La Hoya's sixth child, Victoria Lauren Rose De La Hoya, was born on Jan. 14, 2014. The name Victoria, according to De La Hoya in a People interview, had special meaning to him and his journey as a boxer. "I was down, but I'm going to get up in victory. Even my daughter is called Victoria for that reason," he explained.

Given that she's only 9 years old, Victoria stays out of the spotlight like her older siblings, but does make appearances on her brother and dad's Instagram pages from time to time.
