  • Mexican actress Laura Flores will reunite with her ex-husband Sergio Fachelli for a concert in September 2026.
  • Flores previously refused the reunion, citing painful memories of their abusive marriage.
  • Both Flores and Fachelli have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

Mexican actress Laura Flores is set to perform on stage with her ex-husband, Sergio Fachelli, on September 18, 2026, in Los Angeles, California. This reunion comes after Flores had previously expressed strong reluctance to work with Fachelli, the man she first married.

No, thank you, I don't think I need it, it would do me more harm than good. It took me to the 'time tunnel,' to memories that are not very pleasant, I don't have to be there.

โ€” Laura FloresExplaining her initial refusal to reunite with Sergio Fachelli in January 2025.

In January 2025, Flores had rejected a proposal for a joint concert, telling Imagen TV that seeing Fachelli's current photo brought back unpleasant memories. She stated that the marriage, which lasted from 1986 to 1988, was filled with intimidation, aggression, and substance abuse, which she found overwhelming. At the time, she advised women not to tolerate violence or intimidation.

If there was aggression, and it was very rough, yes, I had to run out and ask for help, it wasn't easy. And today, the only thing I can tell you, as advice to women, don't allow violence, don't let them intimidate you. That was what I experienced, intimidation, and besides, I can't deal with drugs, I saw a lot of drugs in that relationship, it's not something for me.

Despite her past trauma, Flores has now agreed to the performance, titled "Donde hubo historia, nace un nuevo capรญtulo" (Where there was history, a new chapter is born). She confirmed to "Venga la alegrรญa" that she has already received an advance payment for the show, making the decision irreversible. Notably, both Flores and Fachelli have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, a detail that adds a poignant layer to their upcoming reunion.

It's something that's going to happen, I already have the advance and everything, on September 18th, in Los Angeles, California, Sergio Fachelli and I will perform, they hired us, and, you know, the idea was already crossing my mind.
