Actor Andrés García passed away on April 4 due to hypovolemic shock resulting from cirrhosis.

It’s worth noting that in 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, he launched his YouTube channel where he shared all kinds of anecdotes.

Sadly, in his final days he had a strained relationship with his children: Leonardo, Andrea, and Andrés García Jr.

To this day, many wonder if the actor truly accepted his gay son Andrés, considering his strong personality.

Andrés García’s gay son

Andrés García Jr, the son of actor Andrés García and Sandra Vale, was born on September 1, 1968, making him 55 years old today.

Like his siblings Leonardo and Andrea, he ventured into the world of entertainment, primarily working in television.

He is remembered for his roles in soap operas like Acorralada, Salomé, and Retrato de Familia. He also appeared in the film Like Water for Chocolate.

Not much is known about his personal life, as he keeps a low profile.

How did Andrés García react to finding out his son was gay?

According to an interview Andrea García gave in 2014, her father never had a problem with the fact that Andrés García, Jr. is gay.

The actress wanted to put an end to rumors claiming that they had a bad relationship.

«The family and my dad found out about Andresito’s sexuality, and it was always very normal. That’s how my dad is.»

To conclude the interview on Ventaneando, hosted by Pati Chapoy, Andrea said that the actor possesses a ‘wild wisdom.’

Did Andrés García’s children abandon him?

In his last months of life, Andrés García complained that his children, Leonardo, Andrea, and Andrés García Jr., had abandoned him and did not visit.

From his residence in Acapulco, Guerrero, the actor threatened to disinherit them on several occasions.

Furthermore, he claimed that his entire fortune would go to his stepson, Andrés López Portillo, who was his widow Margarita López Portillo’s son.

Margarita stayed with Andrés until the end, and despite almost giving up, she always remained by his side, taking care of him.

«I love him as if he were my son»

In one of  his last interviews Andrés revealed that he was sure he would die alone. He confirmed that his children did not visit him.

«The only one who comes to see me and lends me a hand is Andresito, Margarita’s son, which is why I love him as if he were my son,» he said.

In this conversation with Al Rojo Vivo, Andrés also said that his children were very strange.

«They don’t inform you about what they’re going to do. It’s not very clear with any of them,» said the Dominican-Mexican actor.

His strained relationship with Andrea García

Contrary to his relationship with his eldest son, with whom he had a strong bond, Andrés was not close to his daughter, Andrea García.

According to Diario Libre, they were estranged because of accusations made by Andrés García’s daughter.

The young woman claimed that she had been sexually abused by her own father, which he immediately denied.

As if that weren’t enough, ‘Pedro Navaja’ accused her of being a bad person, part of the ‘black mafia,’ and a prostitute.
