Early life and career
Anita Fuentes was born Anita Rivera on March 8, 1978 in Boston, Massachusetts to Eugenio Martir and Frances Rivera of Puerto Rico.[3] She grew up in Cleveland, Ohio with her abusive mother.[4] During Fuentes' teen years, she ran away from home.[4] After she ran away from home, she became a stripper. “When I started doing it, it was nerve wracking. But of course after the first time that I did, it was to me it was easy. It was raunchy. It was a very bad atmosphere. Guys just wanted to touch you and they were not allowed to but to make more money you could let them. There would actually be a back room where there was prostitution going on. I didn’t go that far, but just the fact that I would do lap dances and whatever I could to do to make more money without going as far as the other girls were going, I would do it.” Fuentes said in an interview with The 700 Club on the Christian Broadcasting Network.[4]
In 2001, she moved to California to become a model, where she met her now husband, Ignacio Fuentes.[3][4] They married 6 months later in April 2002.[4] She later attended church and became a Christian in 2005 along with her husband in 2007.[4]
