Joelis Vallejo's Struggles To Raise Her Son Rhenzy Feliz

Vallejo was only 21 when she became a single mother, and with no proper job and two mouths to feed, she worked really hard.

Feliz, in an interview, mentioned that his mother used to clean offices was a receptionist at a hair salon, and worked in retail.

He also remembered Joelis working two jobs simultaneously to pay the bills and for the food.

The actor/singer is always grateful for his mom and also credits his success to her. 

The mother-son duo moved to Florida when Feliz was young as Joelis hated the cold in New York and didn't want her son to grow up in the Bronx neighborhood. 

Feliz's mother took on several odd jobs in Florida, and the pair kept relocating. 

Due to this, he reportedly attended eight different schools while still in elementary school and credited his mom for his awesome childhood.

"We moved to Florida because she hated the cold and didn't want me to grow up in an environment like that. We didn't end up in an amazing place in Florida, but it was better than the Bronx in New York at that time... And because of her, I had a very good childhood."

The family then finally settled in Los Angeles after Joelis got married.
