Personal Life
María is bisexual, and in 2021, she told MTV News, "I feel like I also represent the LGBTQ+ community because I'm bisexual. I love to represent them. I always had it in my head that, if I'm this way, then this is what I'm going to sing about. I'm not only going to make songs about men because I don't only like men. When I understood and accepted that I also liked girls, that was a difficult time. There was a lot of confusion and prejudice, and I had to think about how my family would take it. It was something very heavy that marked my life, so I have a lot of songs about that chapter." From 2019 to 2021, Becerra was in a relationship with singer Rusherking. In mid-2022, she started dating rapper J Rei, and she proposed to him in July 2023 in Greece. María became a vegetarian at the age of 17, and in a 2022 interview, she said that she had been following a vegan diet for around a year.
