Is Gabriel Iglesias Dead?

A few years ago (in 2014), the standup comedian Iglesias was announced dead both on social media and state media. The news about his death hoax swept the internet, sending millions of his fans into mourning with condolence messages pouring in from friends and fans all around the world.

“Gabriel Iglesias, (born July 15, 1976) known professionally as Gabriel Iglesias and comically as Fluffy died this Friday for causes that are still not confirmed but it seems to be a health complication” read the message on by the state’s media which also added that the comedian died of type 2 diabetes.

Two days later, the stand-up comedian responded to his death rumor telling his fans he was still alive in a most humorous manner. In the message both on his Facebook and Twitter pages, Iglesias also thanked his friends, family, and fans for everything that they have done for him over the years.

Gabriel Iglesias was at that time enjoying his tour in North America as he was seen in the sitcom “Cristela,” which aired on ABC. The comedian also said that the death hoax was proof his career is going great. That period also brought him to network television sitcoms with his recurring role in the hit ABC comedy “Cristela” and the next year, he joined the ranks of comics like Andrew Dice Clay, Steve Martin, Kevin Hart, and Aziz Ansari by being one of the few comedians to perform at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Gabriel Iglesias’s Mom, Dad, And House

Gabriel was born to Esther Pinuelas Mendez and Jesus Iglesias who were both from Califonia. The Mexican- American comedian apparently grew up without a father. His father was not even present during his birth. Though nothing much is known about his father Jesus, his mother Esther single-handedly struggled to raise him alongside five of his older siblings and due to the fact that his father was not in the picture, his mother decided to change the spelling of his last name. She placed a “c” in the place of “s” in his last name. Esther was born on August 25, 1934, in California, USA. She, however, died on 1 May 2012 at the age of 78 years. She was buried in Los Angeles County, California, USA.

Fluffy whose jokes are mostly based on the Mexican American culture and obesity jokes has earned millions of dollars turning the everyday life aspects into something heartwarmingly funny and entertaining.

Gabriel resides in Long Beach, California with his girlfriend Claudia Valdez and her kid, Frankie. He also owns a Chihuahua named Bruno. In 2006, the comedian purchased a home worth about $1.4 million. The 14,404-square-foot Signal Hill compound could be part of the $15 million fortune he made with Magic Mike XXL. Recently, he posted pictures of his 172-square-foot bathroom which he tagged as his favorite room. His net worth is currently a little above $25 million.
