Julian talked about whether he intends to take a step forward with a possible cohabitation or marriage. She resides in Mexico, where he has been working since last October. They used to travel to share, as he is based in Miami.
“I believe a lot in living together before marriage. We have a very good relationship. What happens in the future will be decided by time and the relationship. We are willing, and I speak for myself, to be with her. So far everything has it turned out really well, it was a big surprise for me. I feel extremely lucky to have it, “he told the spokesman.
Nor is he concerned about the age difference between the two.
“The truth is she is 30 years old, but she is extremely mature and I am 50, but I am extremely immature. We are here in the middle,” she pointed out sympathetically.
On the other hand, she is waiting for the pandemic to end to reunite with her children, Julián and Nicole, her husband has “two chemotherapies left and is recovering very well.”
“They’re already planning the wedding again, in Puerto Rico for the end of the year,” he said of his daughter.
In other subjects, the histrion was recovered from the Covid-19.
“I’m better now, with some sequelae of fatigue and pain in the body. We continue to strengthen our lungs,” he said.
Flag removal: “It’s not against me”
On the other hand, although he is in Aztec land recording the novel What Happens to My Family ?, to be released on February 22 there, he will fight to avoid removing the mural of the Puerto Rican flag of the façade of his restaurant La Placeta, in the Ciutat de Sol.
“It’s unfortunate because after spending most of last year in court, we won and most of the Miami City commissioners had voted in favor and the mayor (Francis Suárez), with the flag to stay , the case is reopened, “he said of the legal process.
He called this issue “inconceivable that they want us to raise the flag. When it could be proven in court that it is an artistic mural, we had all the permissions to be able to have it and make it. It was not a whim … It’s a attack on our culture, gastronomy and flag “.
Gil said he had the support of Suarez to fight the lawsuit.
“Now to fight again, we don’t plan to lower our guard. The mayor of Miami said he was one of the people who voted for the flag to stay and is willing to continue fighting with the diaspora and us to revoke, “he said.
He even claimed to be unaware of why the case was reopened.
“I don’t know there’s a hidden agenda, I want to know why … we help with a lot of jobs, I try to find a solution and I don’t get it,” he said.
He will continue to raise his voice in the media to get people not to approve of “this injustice and aggression against our flag.” That’s why he has spoken to people of “a lot of power”, so that they sign the petition not to remove- (Change.org/noborresmibandera), in addition to bringing him closer to celebrities from the world of show business and in offices in Washington.
“We want to set a precedent because today is the Puerto Rican flag, tomorrow it can be the Cuban, the Venezuelan, the Colombian,” he said.
He even denied this was against his person.
“It’s not against me, it’s against our culture, flag and race. In the trial, evidence was presented of all the racist part that existed against the Puerto Rican flag,” he stressed.
