Was Eduardo Xol married at the time of his death?

As far as we know, Eduardo didn't have a wife or any other spouse when he died. The reality alum didn't post much on his social media accounts, and his Facebook shows his relationship status as single. Eduardo also had no public photos of him with a partner on his respective accounts. His last visible Facebook post from 2017 was a collage of Christmas photos with his parents, his sister, Monica Cayajon, and other family members.

Eduardo Xol's tight-knit family confirmed his death in September 2024.

While Eduardo didn't appear to have been married, his love for his family was something he valued just as much. He often shared stories of his bond with his family, especially his sister, Monica. In 2011, Eduardo and Monica spoke to the Lupus Foundation of America. They discussed how Eduardo built a zen garden retreat for his sister in her home to support her during her battle with autoimmune disease. He said the gesture was a testament to how close the family had been for his entire life.
