George Valencia is a writer and director recognized for his work on films such as Brandi Chastain: A Tribute to a Champion, Moment to Moment, and Glow Ropes: The Rise and Fall of a Bar Mitzvah Emcee. He was previously married to actress Candice Coke, and since 2009, he has been in a long-term relationship with television actress Judy Reyes.
George Valencia and Judy Reyes have maintained a long-standing partnership since 2009. The couple shares a daughter, Leila Rey, who was born the same year. Their relationship is often described as close and supportive, with the two spending meaningful time together despite occasional disagreements. Reyes has spoken candidly about minor conflicts between them but emphasized that any tensions are short-lived. Valencia, in turn, has expressed frustration over Reyes's tendency to worry excessively, yet both affirm their mutual respect and emotional connection.
Judy Reyes is widely known for her portrayal of Carla Espinosa on the NBC/ABC medical comedy-drama Scrubs. She later gained further recognition for her role as Zoila Diaz in the Lifetime series Devious Maids. Born in the Bronx, New York, Reyes is of Dominican descent and one of four sisters, including a twin who appeared briefly as a paramedic in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She spent her formative years on Bainbridge Avenue from age 13 to 26 and went on to attend Hunter College in Manhattan, where she further honed her craft in the performing arts.
