Names Of Marcello Hernandez’s Parents: They Are Divorced!

Hernandez was born in Miami, Florida, as the eldest of two children to immigrant parents. His father, Burin Hernandez, is from the Dominican Republic, while his mother, Isabel Cancela, hails from Cuba. So, the comedian is an American by nationality and has Latin heritage.

His parents probably met during the struggle in the United States and got married. However, they are now divorced.

In one of his comedies titled “Cuban Mom” in 2024, Marcello started the video by saying, “My mom is from Cuba, and my dad is from the Dominican Republic, which means they are divorced.”

Even if the phrase was part of the joke, Marcello was telling no lies, as his father and mother are separated and have moved on.

There are no details about when and why they divorced. Still, Hernandez’s comedy may have a hint—he stated that they came to America for opportunities, but the differences in ideas later drifted them apart.
