Many wondered what would become of Jackie Marin, former reality TV star and fiancé of professional motorcycle racer Nicky Hayden, following Hayden’s death in 2017. Over the next year, Marin gave several interviews describing her relationship with Hayden and her grieving process. In April 2019, Marin appeared with Hayden’s family at a ceremony in Texas, where Hayden’s racing number “69” was permanently retired from Grand Prix roadracing’s premier class. https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/motogp-nicky-haydens-69-retired-from-motogp-racing-at-circuit-of-the-americas/ For the next few years, Marin devoted herself to charity work in Hayden’s name, including the Nicky Hayden Memorial Foundation. Marin has actively participated in foundation events, including annual memorial rides. As for her personal life, Marin expressed no interest in moving on.
That changed in 2021, when Marin met entrepreneur and philanthropist Amit Raizada. Raizada is the CEO of Spectrum Business Ventures, a Miami investment firm that invests in a wide range of companies and firms. Raizada founded Spectrum Business Ventures in 2002 to manage and grow his asset portfolio. Raizada has financed companies that develop groundbreaking cancer treatments, launch satellites into orbit, facilitate same-day online purchase deliveries, and provide unparalleled entertainment experiences. In 2017, Raizada founded the Amit Raizada Foundation, which provides funding to a wide variety of communities and programs that make a long lasting social impact. As Raizada explains on Spectrum’s website ““I worked really hard to get where I am today, but I didn’t do it alone. I had a lot of really great help along the way, and now that I have the resources and time, I’m privileged to get the chance to give back. I do this with a deep sense of gratitude.”
Marin and Raizada joined forces in their lives in November 2022. As husband and wife, they have continued to actively support and contribute to a wide variety of charitable organizations. In May 2023, Amit and Jackie Raizada helped sponsor the Educate Tomorrow 20th Anniversary Gala in Miami, Florida. As partners in life it will be exciting to see what the future brings as the gossip blogs and sites have already started covering the newlyweds.
