Early Life & Education

Yuridia Francisca Gaxiola Flores was born on October 4, 1986, in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. She is of Mexican ethnicity and holds Mexican nationality, and her family has been deeply immersed in music since her early years.

Her father, Genaro Gaxiola, is a composer, while her mother, Olimpia Flores, is a talented singer who has performed alongside her daughter and passed down her impressive vocal abilities. Yuridia grew up in a nurturing, music-filled household that encouraged her passion for singing from a young age.

As the oldest of five siblings, Yuridia has two brothers and two sisters. Her siblings include her late brother Daniel Gaxiola Flores (often referred to as Danny), who tragically passed away at age 15 in December 2005 due to muscular dystrophy—an event that deeply affected her life and career. The names of her other siblings (two sisters and one remaining brother) are not widely detailed in public sources, but the family has remained close-knit despite personal hardships.

Yuridia is a practicing Catholic, reflecting the cultural and spiritual influences common in many Mexican families, which have occasionally appeared in her personal reflections and public life. At around age 8, her family emigrated to the United States, settling in Mesa, Arizona, where she spent the majority of her childhood and adolescence.

She considers Mesa her hometown and participated in local singing contests there during her youth.

For her education, Yuridia attended Mesa High School but left during her senior year in 2005 to pursue her opportunity on the Mexican reality show La Academia, which catapulted her to fame at age 18.

Career

Yuridia began her career in 2005 at age 18, when she competed on the fourth season of the Mexican reality show La Academia. She finished as runner-up to Erasmo Catarino, but her powerful performances of ballads, pop songs, and rancheras won over millions of fans.

This earned her the nickname “La Voz de un Ángel” (Voice of an Angel) and a recording contract with Sony Music. Yuridia quickly became the most successful artist to emerge from the show, surpassing the winner in both popularity and sales.

Her debut album, La Voz de un Ángel (2005), featured standout tracks, including her version of Robbie Williams‘ “Ángel.” The album sold over 1.5 million copies in Mexico, earned Diamond certification, and became one of the fastest-selling albums in the country.

This success made her one of the top-selling female artists, even surpassing Thalía in recent years and competing with legends like Luis Miguel and Juan Gabriel at the time.

She continued with a series of hit albums, including Habla el Corazón (2006), a multi-platinum collection of covers; Entre Mariposas (2007), her first album with mostly original songs, which won the 2007 Billboard Latin Music Award for Latin Pop Album of the Year by a New Artist; Nada Es Color de Rosa (2009); Para Mí (2011), which featured the No. 1 hit “Ya Te Olvidé“; and 6 (2015).

All of these albums reached No. 1 on the Mexican charts, earned multiple Platinum and Gold certifications, and did well on the U.S. Latin Pop and Latin Albums charts. Compilations like Lo Esencial de Yuridia (2013) and the live album Primera Fila (2017) helped sustain her popularity.

After a break, Yuridia moved into regional Mexican music with Pa’ Luego Es Tarde (2022) and its follow-up, working with artists like Ángela Aguilar on “Qué Agonía,” Banda MS, and Eden Muñoz. This new direction brought her major hits, including her first No. 1 on the Billboard Regional Mexican Airplay chart with “Mi Eterno Amor Secreto” (featuring Eden Muñoz), and several multi-Platinum singles.

In 2025, she released her latest album, Sin Llorar, on February 7. The album mixes emotional ballads with regional styles and features collaborations like “Un Bendito Día” with Alejandro Fernández, as well as singles such as “Malamente,” “Llévate,” and the title track. Sin Llorar topped the iTunes charts in Mexico and overall.

Yuridia also reached historic streaming milestones, becoming the most-played Mexican artist on YouTube with over 6.5 billion views (earning a Guinness World Record) and the most-listened-to Mexican artist on Spotify that year. Over nearly twenty years, Yuridia has won many awards, including several Latin Grammy nominations, consistent chart success, and RIAA certifications.

She has toured widely in Mexico, the U.S., and Latin America, with major tours like the Desierto Tour (for Primera Fila), the Pa’ Luego Es Tarde tours (2022–2023), and the Sin Llorar Tour, which expanded to the U.S. and Canada in 2024–2025 and continued into 2026 with sold-out shows, starting in León, Mexico.

She remains a leading figure, earning five nominations at Premio Lo Nuestro and standing out as one of the most influential female voices in regional Mexican and Latin music, known for her emotional performances, strong vocals, and genuine connection with fans.

Personal Life

Yuridia Francisca Gaxiola Flores, born on October 4, 1986, is currently 39 years old. Standing at approximately 5’10½” (1.79 m), she has a commanding presence that complements her powerful vocal performances.

Yuridia has been married once, to Matías Aranda, her former manager, since December 2019. The couple wed in an intimate ceremony in Tepoztlán, Mexico, and their relationship has been a stable and supportive partnership amid her demanding career.

Prior to this, she was in a notable relationship with singer and producer Mario Domm (of the group Camila), which ended before she began dating Aranda.

Yuridia is a mother of three children. Her firstborn son, Phoenix Alejandro Guerrero Gaxiola, was born before her marriage to Aranda, from a previous relationship (the father’s identity has not been publicly disclosed).

With Matías Aranda, she welcomed their first child together, son Benicio Aranda Gaxiola, on July 13, 2023, followed by their second, son Noah Valentín Aranda Gaxiola (full name Noah Valentín), in July 2025.

She has shared tender moments and announcements about her pregnancies and births through social media and concerts, often expressing gratitude for her growing family while balancing motherhood with her thriving music career.

Net Worth

Yuridia‘s net worth is estimated to be between $3.5 million and $10 million USD.

This valuation reflects her nearly two-decade career as one of Mexico’s most successful and enduring artists, driven primarily by massive album sales (including Diamond-certified debuts and multiple Platinum records), extensive touring across Mexico, the U.S., and Latin America, high-profile collaborations, streaming dominance (with billions of views on platforms like YouTube and Spotify), and additional revenue from coaching on shows like La Voz… México, live performances, and merchandise.

Some social media and earnings trackers suggest higher potential income from digital platforms, while others align closer to the lower end—her consistent commercial success, record-breaking achievements (such as Guinness recognition for YouTube views), and ongoing projects like the Sin Llorar era contribute to a solid millionaire status.
