Early Life
Chimene Michelle Diaz was born on June 5, 1970, in San Diego, California, to Emiliano Lius Diaz and his wife, Billie Early Joann. Emiliano was a foreman attached to a California-based company, Unocal, engaged in oil and gas dealings. His wife Billie is a businesswoman chiefly involved in importing and exporting. They got married on March 1, 1969, and a year later, they had Chimene.
Her father is from a Spanish background; his ancestors moved from Spain to Cuba. In comparison, her mother has mixed backgrounds; English, German, and even Cherokee-Indian. Chimene’s name, which is of Polish origin and means Harkening, suggests that her family has Polish roots.
A delicate balance between tragedy and joy characterized Chimene’s upbringing. On the one hand, she had to grapple with the haunting memories of her father’s death on April 15, 2008, triggered by a severe case of Flu and Pneumonia. Additionally, her parents struggled to make ends meet, which meant they had to settle for substandard living conditions. However, despite these challenges, Chimene still managed to find happiness in her daily life. She grew up alongside her sister, who bore a striking resemblance to her, often prompting people to mistake them for twins – she also had a brother named Michael Diaz. Together, they navigated their early life in Long Beach, California, which they called home.
She was enrolled in a local school in California, where she attained her primary education before advancing to Long Beach Polytechnic High School.
Career
Unlike her sister, Chimene threaded down a different path, away from the spotlight, the highlife, and the red carpets. She became a realtor at splash real estate. She later partnered with Rhonda Buchanan and started a real estate company named Buchanan and Diaz Group.
