Despite ongoing speculation, Bárbara Torres clarified that Maradonio, a character in Eugenio Derbez’s series, is not her son. This revelation occurred during the sixth Elimination Gala in La Casa de los Famosos, Mexico, where her eldest son showed up as a guest panelist, prepared to support his mother in case she was voted out. The conclusion of the event sparked a flurry of chatter after a poignant defense of his mother spread across the internet.
Despite misconceptions that the Argentinean-born actress was childless or that she shared a familial bond with her on-screen character Maradonio, she is indeed a mother to two boys. Torres, popular for her comedic talents, prefers to keep her family life private, but tidbits of her personal journey have surfaced via her social media, where she often shares their achievements and interests.
Born on January 12, 2005, Torres’ eldest son, Ignacio Torres, is widely known by his nickname, Nachito. He received this moniker during the Pre Gala hosted by Cecilia Galiano and Mauricio Garza, and it was also used at the grand ceremony hosted by Galilea Montijo and Diego de Erice. Nachito, 18 years old, is the elder of her two children. His younger brother, Manolo, who was born in 2007, is currently 12 and tends to stay out of the limelight, keeping away from Televisa cameras.

I had never heard such ugly things, just as you have a mother, I ask you to respect mine.” This statement left the room silent, even prompting host Galilea Montijo to look towards the production team for guidance on how to proceed.
