What is Mariah Torres’ net worth? Who was Mariah Torres married to?

Introduction

Mariah Torres is an American reality star who helps run the nation’s largest pit bull animal shelter – the Villalobos Rescue Center.

She was part of the cast of Animal Planet’s television series Pit Bulls & Parolees. 

Animal Planet’s show Pit Bulls & Parolees aimed to change the perception of people towards Pitbulls.

The Origin Story

Mariah was born on September 6, 1991, in California, USA.

Her mother – Tia Torres – was married to Aren Marcus Jackson.

Her father was not really in the picture, but it seems that her ex-stepdad Aren Jackson played a big part in her childhood.

She has twin brothers named Keli’i and Kanani, as well as a sister named Tania. In 2020, Kanani got into a serious motorbike accident.

”I have a huge and confusing family,” she said in November 2020.

Torres has performed in beauty pageants ever since she was 11 years old.

At 11, Mariah started competing in beauty pageants – her dream was to grow up and become a “beauty queen.”

Many would say she achieved her dream.

Mariah has grown up to be a very beautiful woman with many artistic and expressive tattoos and a very distinct sense of fashion.

Pit Bulls & Parolees

Her mother, Tia Maria Torres, is the founder of Villalobos Rescue Center.

Initially, she started the shelter in Agua Dulce, California. However, in 2011, the shelter relocated to Greater New Orleans in Louisiana.

Mariah has been helping her mom at the shelter for as long as she can remember, along with her sister, her two adopted brothers, and their wives.

She even decided not to attend college in favor of staying with her family at the rescue center.

Alongside the Torres family, the shelter also employs many parolees who help perform daily care tasks to ensure the dogs are being taken care of.

As the parolees train the dog to have less violent temperaments, both the dogs and the people experience healing from past traumas.

The family decided to appear on the TV series to try and get out of a financial rut they were going through at the time the offer came through.

At first, the Torres family wished to stay away from the cameras and let the parolees lead the show. However, as the producers pushed, the family eventually agreed to be the stars.

In 2014, Tia appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to detail her experiences operating a pit bull shelter in New Orleans.

Tattoos

Mariah has several tattoos, including a pitbull with angel wings on her left leg, the third eye on her chest from each grows a tree on her neck, a tree on her right leg, as well as her dog Sloth.

Girlfriend

Mariah got engaged to her girlfriend, Florencia Carcagno (also known as Lady Tragik), in 2012.

The proposal was classic – Florencia asked Mariah’s mom, and the two planned a perfect surprise engagement for Mariah. ”She asked my mom first,” Mariah explained. ”My mom [Tia Torres] and her, planned the whole thing.”

However, it appears that the couple has broken it off for good.

Husband

In 2016, Mariah married Pit Bulls & Parolees co-star Marcel in Las Vegas.

They met at the Villalobos Rescue Center, where Marcel was one of the parolees on staff. The two hit it off quickly and fell in love, all of which were caught on camera.

After only a few months of marriage, the two separated, shocking their friends, family, and fanbase.

In 2018, they made the divorce official and began their separate lives.

Mariah states on Instagram that she and Marcel simply wanted different things out of life.

In early 2019, Mariah began posting tons of pictures with a new beau, but it seems that the relationship also came to an end.

At the time of writing, Torres is not known to be dating anyone.

The Pit Bulls & Parolees star says she doesn’t want to be labeled as bisexual or gay.
