Zuleyka Rivera

Zuleyka Jerrís Rivera Mendoza was born October 3, 1987 in Cayey, Puerto Rico, and raised in Salinas, Puerto Rico.
She is a Puerto Rican beauty queen who has held the titles Miss Puerto Rico Universe and Miss Universe 2006.
Presently she's making her debut as a telenovela actress in Telemundo's soap opera Dame Chocolate.
Zuleyka Rivera represented Puerto Rico in the Miss Universe 2006 pageant on July 23, 2006. After competing in swimsuit, evening gown and interview, she was crowned Miss Universe by outgoing titleholder Natalie Glebova of Canada.
Later that evening, Rivera fainted briefly during a press appearance. The incident was reportedly attributed to heat exhaustion (from the stage lights) coupled with the weight of the heavy, chained dress she was wearing.
