The first time Gabriel Porras was seen on Telemundo screens with a leading character was in 2003 when he led the soap opera El alma herida with Itatí Cantoral. The melodrama in which Rebecca Jones and Alejandro Camacho also participated would be just one of almost twenty that the actor would end up starring for the chain during the almost two decades that it was part of its ranks. Many of them international hits like Sin sinos no hay paradise (2008), Where's Elisa? (2010), The Queen of the South (2011), The House Next Door (2011) and The Lord of the Skies (2013).

And we speak in the past because Gabriel's exclusive relationship with Telemundo ended. It was the 51-year-old interpreter himself who made the news known through his social networks, where he shared a video in which, in addition to announcing his departure from the television station, he confirmed the breakup of his courtship with the actress's sister Venezuelan Scarlet Ortiz, Alejandra.

"2019 was a sad year, let's say, I lost important things in my life: the job I had at Telemundo for many years, my great love, Alejandra Ortíz […] At some moments I felt that the tunnel had no end, however, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel”, shared the former villain of melodrama Across the Wall through his Instagram profile.

Porras, who faces with enthusiasm but also with great uncertainty the new professional situation that opens before him after years as an exclusive artist of Telemundo, informed his unconditional fans that his relationship with the chain owned by NBCUniversal ended on good terms.

"My contract simply was not renewed," said the actor, who is confident that "better things will come."

The last project that Gabriel recorded for Telemundo was the series You can't hide, where he made a special participation with Blanca Soto and a great cast.
