DiMartino also claimed that Ruelas was abusive and had threatened to kill her and their children. However, she did not press charges, and no arrests were made.

Following his divorce from DiMartino, Ruelas was engaged several times, including to Paula Sanchez and Vanessa Reiser. Both Sanchez and Reiser have made allegations of emotional abuse against Ruelas, claiming that he had an insatiable appetite for sex and would become angry if his sexual demands were not met. Reiser filed a lawsuit against Ruelas, which was eventually settled out of court.

In addition to these allegations, Ruelas has also faced other legal troubles.
