Early life

In his youth, Roy was a player for the Puerto Rican National Children's Soccer Team.

Roselló was a member of Menudo from August 1983 to January 1986 and debuted on the album A Todo Rock, albeit he didn't have lead vocals from the album, including Reaching Out and Mania. He recorded a total of six albums with the group, with the second half of the albums he was in, he had lead vocals on one song per each album. During his time, Menudo reached great popularity in Asia, more specifically in the Philippines and Japan. They had hits like "Indianápolis" and "Like A Cannonball," which was featured in the film Cannonball Run 2. It was also during his tenure in the Menudo lineup that the group scored their biggest hit in the United States, "Hold Me." Roy sang lead in the second version of "Ladron De Amor" and is seen prominently in the music video. He also sang lead in the song, "No Hay Reflexion" from the Grammy nominated album Evolucion.

During concerts and TV appearances he sang lead in the song "Cambiale las Pilas"'s ("Gotta Get On Moving") second Spanish version as well as its English version, "Subete a Mi Moto", "Ghostbusters" and "One Night in Bangkok."

Personal life

In 1986, Roy met Brazilian children’s TV host Mara Maravilha and they started dating. Mara got pregnant by Roy, but her mother made her get an abortion in 1987. At the time the couple lived together for two years in a house he had in New York, USA. Their relationship ended in 1988, allegedly due to the excessive jealousy of Mara and her distrust of Roy. Mara stated in interviews that he wanted her to stop singing. At the time she was aware of the sexual abuse he allegedly suffered during his years in Menudo.[2][3]

Rosselló is the father of five children with five different women, including eldest son Roy Jr. with his first wife Mireya Nieves, whom he married on October 14, 1989. The marriage was concluded by a divorce decree issued on December 10, 1993.[4][5] Following this he was married to his second wife Brenda Colon Reyes for a year and a half. He also has another son named Enrico with his third wife, Mirella Rodriguez Marcolini (m. 2008-2010), and a daughter Sophia, born in 2009, who was the result of a 6 month relationship he had with Natália Borges, a former employee of a store he had in Campinas.[6][7][8]

In 2003, Roy went to Campinas after he had to acknowledge the paternity of his eldest child, Bianca, when he appeared on a TV program in Brazil. She was born when Roy was 15 years old. The girl is a result of his fling with a teenage Brazilian fan when he was on tour with Menudo there in 1985.[9][10][11] In addition to Roy Jr., Enrico, Sophia and Bianca, he is also father to a third son named Guilhermo. [4][12]

In a 2014 interview, Roy said he should have preserved himself more in relation to women. “I always liked women, but I should have been more careful,’ he regrets. The musician stated that he believes women approached him because of money. “Because I was a famous guy, they think I have money, but it’s all an illusion. For them it’s not important to allow me to have a good relationship with my children, they just want money,” he said.[13][14][15]

In 1994, Roy married Marta Rhaulin. He made for 11 years a musical duo with her, Duo Roy and Rhaulin.[16]

Roy married Patricia Avila in 2014, they have since divorced in 2018.[17]

In 1991, Roy Rossello studied TV production at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale in Florida.

Since 2006, Rosselló has run a Caribbean-themed bar in the city of Campinas, located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, where he also owns a jewelry store, Roy Rosello Fine Jewelry.

More recently, through another TV show in Brazil, he met his long-lost daughter and decided to settle in the South American country. Roy fell in love with the people, the culture, the tropical weather and the hospitality he found in Brazil, his new home.

Roy stated that when he was visiting their New Jersey home at the age of 14, José drugged and raped him. "That's the man here that raped me", [Roy] says in a clip of the docuseries, pointing to Menendez in a photo. "That's the pedophile."[19]
