After months of remaining silent and staying out of the spotlight, William Levy has finally addressed the public regarding his high-profile breakup with fellow actress Elizabeth Gutiérrez. In an interview with paparazzo Jordi Martin for the show "El Gordo y la Flaca," the Cuban actor, currently in Spain working on a new project, opened up about the rumors surrounding their relationship. He firmly stated that many of the circulating stories are both false and defamatory.
According to the telenovela star, the separation has been challenging not only for him and Gutiérrez but also for their children, Christopher and Kailey. "Elizabeth isn't the only one suffering; the children come first," Levy remarked.
Reflections on a Long-Term Relationship
Levy candidly discussed the shortcomings he experienced during his over two-decade-long relationship with Gutiérrez. He mentioned that he gave his best and provided an incredible life, yet emphasized that relationships need to be mutual. "A man needs to receive from a woman, not material things, but love, respect, admiration," he expressed, indicating these were areas that contributed to their breakup.
Finding Solace in Faith and Family
Despite the challenges, Levy shared that he doesn't feel alone, finding strength in God and his children. However, he admitted there have been moments of disappointment and betrayal. He explained his silence was a choice to protect his children. "I might have flaws like any human being, but as a father, you won't find a single one," he stated proudly.
Addressing Rumors and Clarifying Incidents
During the discussion, Levy also debunked a particular incident involving police intervention at his Miami residence. His ex-partner had reportedly called the police, accusing him of being with another woman in their family home. Levy clarified that even if he had been with someone else, he was entitled to do so, as he and Gutiérrez had been separated for four months. He emphasized that he would never put his children in a position where they would see him with another woman in an inappropriate setting.
William Levy and Elizabeth Gutiérrez announced their separation earlier this year after more than twenty years together. The split was shadowed by allegations of infidelity and police involvement, thrusting the former couple into the media spotlight.
