It may be inappropriate to say that Cesar Millan is the king of dogs, but when it comes to dogs and their behavior, he is number one. The Mexican-American has built a career spanning over 25 years in dog training and breeding. Cesar Milan is a canine behaviorist and is known for his reality show ‘Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan’ which has garnered millions of views from different countries around the world. He is not only known for his on-screen exploits, his works include books, DVDs and a wide range of dog products that testify to his status.
Given his controversial portfolio, Caesar always has the public “sniff” in his life and advance different speculations. But to bring more clarity, let’s dig deeper into the life of the man with the unique journey.
Who is Cesar Millan? Biography, Age
He was born César Felipe Millán Favela on Aug. 27, 1969, to his parents; Millan Guillen and Maria Favela in Sinaloa, Mexico. Her love for animals started at a very young age. Growing up, Caesar spent time caring for the animals on his grandfather’s farm. At the time, he already had connections with dogs and earned the nickname “Dog Boy.” He discovered his passion very quickly and quickly decided to pursue this dream. Millan wanted to take his passion to showbiz; he wanted to work with pets on TV.
He made his way to the United States at the age of 21 and took on various odd jobs to support himself. He was a dog walker and gradually gained attention for his unique way of handling dogs. Entrusting Jada Pinkett Smith with his plans, Pinkett encourages her to learn English so that she can excel in the United States. Millan established Pacific Point Canine Academy while learning the foreign language. He soon opened the Canine Psychology Center in Los Angeles, which deals with different breeds of dogs.
Millan who always wanted to have his own show was becoming increasingly popular and in 2002 he began to be contacted by television actors. In 2004, his reality series The Dog Whisperer began and aired on National GeographicCanal. The series became a hit and gained millions of views around the world. He started his own magazine ‘Cesar’s Way’ in 2008. This magazine contained various articles on the relationship between man and dog. He launched another series, Cesar 911, in 2014, which aired on Nat Geo Wild.
Family – wife, son, divorce
Millan’s personal life was said to be devoid of drama, but for some unforeseen circumstances. The ace dog behaviorist was first married to Ilusión Millan. The couples who loved each other at the time tied the knot in 1994. Their union produced two sons; André born in 1995 and Calvin born in 2001. Things went smoothly until 2010 when César lost his dog “Papa”.
Dad, an American Pit Bull Terrier died in 2010 and left Caesar in pain. Caesar fell into depression and, to make matters worse, he learned that his wife was planning a divorce. The dog specialist attempted suicide at that time, but was unsuccessful. However, Ilusión eventually filed for divorce that year, and the couple finally closed the curtains on their marriage.
Who is Cesar Millan Girlfriend?
Cesar started a new relationship this year with actress Dahira Jar from the Dominican Republic. It’s been an impressive romantic experience all along for the lovebirds who are still together. Even more interestingly, six years after the start of their relationship, Caesar offered the actress to spend a vacation in Greece. Fans of the famous Dog Whisperer are very excited about their union and can’t wait to hear the wedding ringtones soon.
Is Millar dead?
You may think he has a very dangerous job that puts his life in danger, but rest assured, César Millan is doing what he loves and having the best of his life. Cesar Millan was the victim of a death hoax in 2014 when a website reported him dead. Rumors that he died of a heart attack came two years after his divorce from his first wife, Ilusión.
Rumors fueled by earlier reports that the behaviorist who was mourning the death of his dog dad attempted suicide upon discovering his first wife’s intention to divorce. But all of this was destroyed by evidence that he was “drunk in love” with his girlfriend, Jahira.
