She was expected to perform in a cameo role in a 2012 Orlando, Florida, charitable fundraising performance of the play Los Monologos de la Vagina (The Vagina Monologues), but backed out two days beforehand due to a contractual dispute and prior year's problem with expense compensation.

Rivera Borrero opened and operated a Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, fashion store for several years called Maripily Boutique, which burned down in 2007, and later reopened. Her current entrepreneurial endeavors include selling her own lines of jeans, swimwear, underwear, shoes, and handbags through the Puerto Rican chain Pompis Store (pompis is Spanish slang for buttocks).

Personal life
Rivera Borrero had a son from a relationship with José Antonio García. The son was also named José Antonio García.

Rivera Borrero married  baseball star Roberto Alomar on 1 June 2009. The public has largely expressed that she married Alomar for money, a question she evaded as she exited divorce court. Rivera accused Alomar of domestic violence and a temporary injunction was granted but the charges against Alomar were later dismissed by the Court. Rivera has been called a "sex symbol", a "drama queen" and the "Paris Hilton of Puerto Rico".

In December 2013, Rivera Borrero became engaged to businessman Alberto Rodríguez and they planned a May 2014 wedding. The ceremony was to take place at the historic Ponce Cathedral in Ponce, Puerto Rico, with a reception at the equally historic Castillo Serralles castle, with Shanira Blanco scheduled to be her maid of honor. Rodriguez is Chief Operating Officer at Spanish Broadcasting System. The wedding was subsequently cancelled. The couple subsequently got together again and continued to see each other for a while. Then later that year, Maripily Rivera made accusations of domestice violence against Rodriguez resulting in his arrest on 29 October 2014. The matter was brought before judge Deborah White-Labora of the Dade County Courthouse, but was dismissed as the prosecution did not have the necessary evidence. Rodriguez was encouraged to bring charges of defamation and slander against Maripily, but responded that he did not want to pursue the matter, wanted to return to his projects at SBS, and said he "wished [Maripily] the best in her life and her career" as he left the courthouse. With that the couple ended their relationship.
