Not much is known about Garcia’s personal life. She gave birth on August 5, 2013. In June 2015, she married boxer Jhonny González.
Dulce Maria Garcia Rivas was born on September 20, 1982, in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. Growing up, Garcia participated in combat sports such as boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai. She studied communication sciences and worked in the same field before joining wrestling.
She received her wrestling training from Humberto Garza Jr., Mr. Lince, Gran Apache, and Abismo Negro. She made her professional debut on August 29, 2006.
Garcia made her debut on a ‘FILL’ show, where she used the ring name “Dulce Poly.” She worked together with one of her trainers, Humberto Garza Jr., and they won the ‘FILL Mixed Tag Team Championship.’ In December 2006, she won the ‘FILL Women’s Championship.’ However, she lost it to La Bandiad in February 2007.
Later, she made her debut for ‘AAA.’ There, she appeared as the “enmascarada” (masked character) “Sexy Star,” a “técnica," or a “fan favorite character.” She began with a “Relevos Atómicos de locura” or an “Eight-man madness” match, along with other wrestlers, but she did not win. The chief trainers for “luchadoras,” Abismo Negro and Gran Apache, trained her further.
In 2007, she participated in the ‘Reina de Reinas,’ or the ‘Queen of Queens’ tournament. She and five others survived a 16-woman “torneo cibernetico” tournament. In the end, another participant, Tiffany, won the title. In 2008, she participated in the tournament again but lost to Mari Apache.
In 2009, Garcia was assigned a part in ‘AAA’s long-running storyline involving real-life husband and wife Billy Boy and Faby Apache. She was introduced in the show as Billy Boy’s new romantic interest, thus becoming a “rúdo,” or a “villain.” More twists and turns in the story led to an inter-gender betting fight in a steel cage, on the 2009 show ‘Verano de Escandalo.’ Faby Apache won the match. Following this, the story revolved more around the competition between Faby Apache and Sexy Star, which led to their face-off in a “Bull Terrier” match. There was interference from ‘La Legión’ members, which helped Garcia beat Faby Apache and win the title. Garcia also became a member of ‘La Legión.’ She was the only Mexican woman in the group. The show continued with many more twists in the story.
Before her ‘Reina de Reinas Championship’ match, Garcia went to Tampa, Florida, to participate in the ‘World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Florida Championship Wrestling’ tryouts. But she was rejected for various reasons. Later, she lost the ‘Reina de Reinas Championship’ to Mari Apache in a six-person tag-team match. ‘AAA’ demoted her to random opening matches. She was removed from the ‘La Legión Extranjera.’ However, she reappeared in ‘La Legión Extranjera’ by March 2011, under the ‘La Sociedad’ banner.
