Life is hard as is, but more so when you have to stay away from your loved ones. This was the case for Angel Cabrera who was released from prison last year. And this two-time major champion was again free to join the PGA Tour.

He received much support from fans when he was on the greens before his arrest; however, there was one person who did not leave his side even when things went downhill. It was Angel Cabrera’s long-term girlfriend, to whom he is married now.

Who is Angel Cabrera’s wife?

Yamila Alvarez and Cabrera dated each other for four long years. Alvarez stood beside her partner when both the law and the whole world were against him. The couple achieved some of the milestones despite Cabrera’s prison sentence.

According to ESPN, Cabrera was among his inmates who got to meet his partner at a regular interval. They had earlier stated, “Cabrera was among inmates granted two-hour visits with partners every 15 days because of good behavior.”

Angel Cabrera became the father in 2022 when he was still in prison. However, he did not delay his marriage to his girlfriend of four years, Yamila Alvarez. Right after he got out of prison, he married Yamila Alvarez in October.

After he came out of prison, Cabrera revealed how being a father helped him a lot mentally. According to Golf Week, “Felipe’s arrival helped a lot,” Cabrera had said about his son, who was born in 2022 before his release. He further added how being a father had helped him transform into a much stronger self. He also said, “It makes me want to get better, so I can be there for him and help him grow and become a good person.”

Apart from Felipe, Cabrera has three other children from his previous partners: Federico, Ángel, and Silvia. For their sake and their love and passion for golf, the Argentinian golfer has been changing his lifestyle and thoughts.

How did Angel Cabrera had realization in prison?

The golfer claimed immense regret for his actions, which led him to prison. The charges against him were domestic violence, and the victims were his ex-partners. The golfer later confessed, “I refused to listen to anyone and did what I wanted, how I wanted and when I wanted.” He further added, “That was wrong. I ask Micaela for forgiveness. I ask Celia for forgiveness. They had the bad luck of being with me when I was at my worst. I wasn’t the devil, but I did bad things.”

According to Yoelpvogue, Cabrera was left alone in his cell once his cellmate was released. Around this time, the two-time Major Champion started reflecting on his passion, golf. He was reported to have been reading old golf magazines in his cell for the last six months of his incarceration. He did not miss out on articles about himself either. Which might have made him more aware of his previous reputation and how his actions turned things around a great deal. They also noted, “Despite the difficulties, Cabrera was occasionally able to go outside to a soccer field at the prison, where he would take swings with a stick or a broom handle, providing a brief break from his isolation.”

After coming out of prison, Cabrera has been playing golf quite regularly. With a T5 finish at the Senior Open Championship, the only European Senior Major, the golfer is again rising to prominence.
