Cynthia Mancheno is the mother of Gilberto Mancheno. At some point after his retirement from the NYPD, Nick Amaro married Cynthia.

History[]

She slept with Detective Nick Amaro while he was undercover, and in the event, she became pregnant with and gave birth to Gilberto.

Eventually, she sues Amaro for child support after nine years of separation from him. Ultimately, Cynthia and Nick reconcile and she allows him to meet Gil. (SVU: "Undercover Blue")

From that point on, Cynthia allows Nick to bond with Gil who addresses the latter as "Uncle Nick", all the while remaining oblivious that he is Nick's biological son. When Nick is shot, Cynthia and Gil come to visit him in the hospital. Cynthia leaves the pair alone, so they can talk about Nick's status as Gil's father. (SVU: "Born Psychopath")

Cynthia was later seen playing catch at the park with her son, Nick, and Nick's daughter Zara Amaro. (SVU: "Her Negotiation")

Gil later informs Nick that Cynthia is thinking of moving the both of them to San Diego to be closer to her family, while getting away from the gang violence. (SVU: "Granting Immunity")

Cynthia went through with the move, as Nick told Benson that she and Gil were in San Diego, so he has decided to retire and go to California following his injuries from a courthouse shooting. (SVU: "Surrendering Noah")

Amaro tells Rollins that he is currently married to Cynthia. (SVU: "The Five Hundredth Episode")
