Trino or José Trinidad "Trino" Marin, was born on February 15, 1964. He was born in the United States, but his parents were from Mexico. Even though Marin was born in America, his childhood was spent in Mexico.

Trino first met his wife Jenni when he was 20 years old, and she was 15. Jenni got pregnant with her son Chiquis Rivera when she was merely 17. The couple married in 1984 in a secret marriage ceremony. Their time together came with a lot of conflicts.

The relationship between Trino and Jenni ended in 1992. Their romance began well, but Jenni's marriage turned sour. She said in court that her husband often behaved poorly and was abusive. He always wanted to control the relationship.
