Has A Failed Marriage

Talking about her marital life, Avellán was previously married to Robert Rodriguez, an American filmmaker and visuals effects supervisor. The ex-pair tied the knot in 1990. They had first met while Elizabeth worked at the University of Texas at Austin in 1988. 

Avellán’s and her ex-spouse both loved watching movies and talking about them. So, Robert prepared their first date at his house, where he showed her some of his short movies. 

After dating for a year and a half, the ex-couple got hitched. They have also worked on many projects together that Rodriguez used to direct and his then-wife used to produce. But unfortunately, after 16 years of marriage, the former duo divorced.

The former lovebirds didn’t reveal anything about alimony. Nonetheless, Elizabeth Avellán’s ex-husband’s net worth is $60M, so she might have received a notable divorce settlement from him.

Besides, Robert Rodriguez’s ex-wife is hardly active on social media platforms. So, it’s unclear whether Elizabeth is in a relationship right now or not.
