Rivera has been called a "sex symbol", a "drama queen" and the "Paris Hilton of Puerto Rico".[29]

In December 2013, Rivera Borrero became engaged to businessman Alberto Rodríguez and they planned a May 2014 wedding. The ceremony was to take place at the historic Ponce Cathedral in Ponce, Puerto Rico, with a reception at the equally historic Castillo Serralles castle, with Shanira Blanco scheduled to be her maid of honor.[30] Rodriguez is Chief Operating Officer at Spanish Broadcasting System.[31] The wedding was subsequently cancelled.[32] The couple subsequently got together again and continued to see each other for a while.[33] Then later that year, Maripily Rivera made accusations of domestic violence against Rodriguez resulting in his arrest on 29 October 2014. The matter was brought before judge Deborah White-Labora of the Dade County Courthouse, but was dismissed as the prosecution did not have the necessary evidence. Rodriguez was encouraged to bring charges of defamation and slander against Maripily, but responded that he did not want to pursue the matter, wanted to return to his projects at SBS, and said he "wished [Maripily] the best in her life and her career" as he left the courthouse.[34] That ended the couple's relationship.
