Madrid, Stockholm, Paris, Slovenia, Norway, and Vienna. On July 24, 2019, after previously defending the Governor and refusing to impeach him, the Puerto Rico Legislative Assembly announced that they would immediately begin impeachment proceedings unless Rosselló resigned. Later that day he announced that he would resign as governor of Puerto Rico effective 5 pm AST August 2, to be replaced by Justice Secretary Wanda Vázquez Garced until she reportedly declined the position. In his last minutes in office, Rosselló nominated Pedro Pierluisi as Secretary of State of Puerto Rico, with the intention of Pierluisi becoming Puerto Rico's next governor. Personal life Rosselló was married to Natasha Marie Cervi from 2008 to 2010. On October 14, 2012, Rosselló married Beatriz Areizaga in a wedding ceremony held in New Orleans, Louisiana. The couple have a daughter, Claudia Beatriz, and a son, Pedro Javier. His cousin is Roy Rossello, a singer and former member of boy band Menudo. Rosselló was linked to a car accident caused by a drunk driver in 1994, when he was 15, that killed a woman and her child. The original 1994 newspaper note that reported on the crash, along with the victims' son and twin brother, respectively, named Rosselló as the drunk driver. The court that saw the case, however, concluded that the other person in the vehicle, Rosselló's friend Ricardo Molinari Such, was the driver.
