My separation, because of everything that happened, was a pretty difficult moment.

Speaking on Paz Padilla's program, "El show de Paz," Levy described the separation, which occurred in 2024 after more than 21 years together, as a "very difficult moment." While he acknowledged that material aspects of the divorce were not a worry, stating "I don't have fear of losing anything, other than my children and my family, the material doesn't interest me, I was born with nothing," his deepest anxiety centered on his children.

Levy, who has always been close to his son, Christopher (20), and daughter, Kailey (16), confessed that he worried about losing their love and respect. He feared a permanent estrangement during the family's transition.

I don't have fear of losing anything, other than my children and my family, the material doesn't interest me, I was born with nothing.

Instead of distancing, Levy found that his bond with his children actually strengthened through the challenging experience, a outcome he deeply values over any material possessions.

At that moment, you worry about losing your family, losing people who are valuable to you, or losing yourself. Thank God, it hasn't been like that.
