Biografi sunting

Mereka menikah pada 11 Oktober 1948, berbulan madu di New York City,^[3] dan bercerai tujuh tahun kemudian (saat Castro diasingkan) pada 1955.^[4] Mereka memiliki satu anak, seorang putra, Fidel Ángel "Fidelito" Castro Díaz-Balart, yang lahir pada 1 September 1949. Setelah bercerai, Castro tak meraih hak asuh putra mereka. Sehingga, Castro menculik Fidel Jr. saat putranya mengunjungi Castro di Meksiko sebelum ia pulang ke Kuba. Terdapat sebuah kisah yang didokumentasikan dari penyelamatan Fidel Jr. dari para penangkapnya.

Díaz-Balart menikah lagi dengan Emilio Núñez Blanco (1925-2006), putra dari mantan Duta Besar Kuba untuk PBB, Emilio Núñez Portuondo.

Díaz-Balart tinggal di Spanyol dengan keluarganya setelah 1959. Ia menjalankan perusahaan putranya selama beberapa tahun saat putranya belajar di Kuba dan Uni Soviet.^[5] Dalam sebuah kisah pada 8 Oktober 2000,^[6] edition of the Miami Herald mengklaim bahwa ia masih tinggal di Spanyol dan sering berkunjung ke Kuba dan disambut oleh Raúl Castro, mantan saudara iparnya.

Díaz-Balart adalah bibi dari anggota DPR AS dari Partai Republik Mario Diaz-Balart (daerah pemilihan kongres ke-25 FL ) dan saudaranya, mantan anggota Kongres AS Lincoln Diaz-Balart, dan penyiar berita TV Jose Diaz-Balart. Ia adalah saudari dari pelukis Waldo Diaz-Balart dan Rafael Diaz-Balart.
