Roberto Gómez Bolaños, better known as Chespirito, had a complex relationship with actress Florinda Meza that evolved over five years of courtship. Initially, there was no romance because he was married to Graciela Fernández, with whom he had six children. However, his persistence eventually led Florinda to accept him as a partner, despite her concerns about his past being a significant issue.
With the release of “Chespirito: sin querer queriendo,” stories about Gómez Bolaños, including his romance with Florinda, are resurfacing. Both figures had immense admiration for each other from the start, but their relationship was not without challenges, particularly concerning family dynamics.
Florinda previously shared insights from an interview in 2004, where she described Roberto’s familial situation as a “defect.” She remarked that he had “seven great defects: six children and a wife,” which made her initially hesitant to engage romantically with him. While Roberto expressed disbelief at this characterization, Florinda maintained that having children with someone else posed complications she was not willing to navigate.
Despite his past infidelities, which she acknowledged, Florinda felt a deep affection for him. They often expressed their love for each other daily, with Florinda noting sweet moments that Roberto cherished, such as waking up to her presence.
Florinda recalled a significant conversation where he expressed his desire not to have children with her, indicating a fear that he might love a child with her more than his own, highlighting the complexities of his emotions and responsibilities.
After Roberto’s passing on November 28, 2014, his children have embarked on a biography series about their father, but Florinda was reportedly not included in this project, leading her to publicly criticize the series, citing it as filled with inaccuracies.
This narrative sheds light on the unique and sometimes tumultuous nature of their relationship, illustrating the balance between love and personal history that defined their time together. While their love story is marked with challenges, it is a testament to the enduring connection they shared.
