Early life
Gabriel Jes Iglesias was born in San Diego, California, on July 15, 1976, to Esther P. Mendez and Jess Iglesias. Esther, his mother, raised him as a single parent. He is of Mexican descent. He grew up in Riverside, Corona, Santa Ana, Baldwin Park, and Compton before settling in Section 8 low-income housing in Long Beach, where Iglesias spent the majority of his youth.
Personal life

Despite the break, he maintains a close friendship with Frankie, whom he assisted with raising.
Iglesias' book The Fluffy Movie chronicled how he weighed in on his heaviest, which he states was 445 pounds (202 kilograms), and that his blood sugar levels increased to over 300 mg/dl (16.6 mmol/L) regularly, and that his doctor gave him two years to live. He said the shock of being told he had two years to live prompted him to reevaluate how he took care of himself and disclosed that he shed weight in order to ensure his continuing participation in his families' lives. Iglesias related to the struggle to integrate a healthier lifestyle, referring to how he was told by a specialist that he should not be a candidate for bariatric surgery, and how he resorted instead to weight-lifting, Diamond Dallas Page Yoga, and a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, which helped him shed over 100 pounds (45 kilograms). Iglesias has also suffered with depression and alcoholism, which he attributes in part to his exhausting tour schedule.
