Mario Bezares: 'I believe in lifelong love, I am old-fashioned'

Veteran actor Mario Bezares attributes the longevity of his 34-year marriage to his "old-fashioned" belief in lifelong commitment. He shared that he does not believe in divorce, emphasizing the importance of fighting for a relationship before considering separation.

Bezares, affectionately known as "Mayito," acknowledged that his marriage to Brenda has faced numerous trials. These included a 12-year age difference and the intense public and judicial scrutiny he endured when involved in the "Caso Stanley" scandal. Even his participation in the reality show "¿Apostarías por mí?" tested their bond.

Despite these challenges, Bezares stated that he and Brenda never considered divorce, though they did contemplate a temporary separation to work through their differences. "Fortunately, the separation did not happen, we all continue well," he said, highlighting the couple's resilience. He stressed that reinvention and daily efforts to win each other over are crucial.

I do not believe in divorce, that's why we have been married for 34 years; I am old-fashioned.

Communication, Bezares believes, is the cornerstone of any successful partnership. "I think that by talking, people understand each other, that communication is the basis of all couples," he explained, advocating for open expression of feelings and addressing dissatisfaction directly. While respecting therapy, he prefers open dialogue.

Bezares is currently starring in the stage production "Divorciémonos mi amor," a comedy that ironically explores marital separation. He noted that the play, which recently premiered in Mexico City, offers a lighthearted take on relationship conflicts, making the audience complicit in the characters' comedic entanglements. The play features a renewed cast, including Lis Vega and Adrián Di Monte, aiming to bring freshness to the production.

I think that by talking, people understand each other, that communication is the basis of all couples, to say what you feel, what is happening, not to remain silent if something displeases you or is not right.
