After years of being largely removed from the spotlight to dedicate herself body and soul to raising her children Cristian and Ryan, the former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres is taking up the reins of her career and life. And how!
At the end of January, the also Puerto Rican actress and singer shone in the Philippines as part of the jury of the beauty contest that made her world famous and since then until now she has been rained by job offers to carry out advertising campaigns, in addition to television and film projects.
"For me, being a mother is my main role and I left my career more or less aside," admits Torres in an exclusive interview for the April issue of People en Español, for sale now. "Now that they are older, Cristian is already [16] years old, Ryan is 13, I feel like I can let them go a little bit. The work is already starting and I feel happy. The children also want me to do what I'm doing."
For the first time, the former beauty queen also exclusively details People en Español the fight she fought and won in court against her ex, singer Marc Anthony, for the support of her children. The case decided in 2014 in a court in Los Angeles, where she lives with the children today, was exhausting, although its outcome was beneficial.
“It is not a process that you go to court and the judge says: 'Here, Dad! It's up to you, '”says Torres, who went through financial straits before the case ended. “It was days that I had to face my children; when I entered [the house of the court] every time they asked me 'Did we win mommy? Please tell me if we win. ' And finally we weren't given what we wanted, they gave us more than double what we were asking for. I feel happy because my children don't deserve less than that.”
Torres also shares in the interview the bad time that - he assures - the children spent in the presentation of their father at the last Latin Grammy awards, where the interpreter of “Vivir mi vida” received recognition for his career and sang with his ex Jennifer López. A performance that ended up kissing while the boys watched the show in the front row.
"What a shame that a moment of such prestige lost quality with everything that came after," says Torres. "My children are much older now and I can't cover the sky with my hands."
