The death of the mother of the actor and singer is reported
On Thursday afternoon the news spread: Mrs. María del Carmen Arruza, mother of the Capetillo brothers, had died. The information came through a public condolence from sports journalist Heriberto Murrieta.
So far, neither Eduardo Capetillo nor other family members have confirmed or denied the information. A silence that keeps the world of entertainment in suspense.
Murrieta wrote on his X account: “I deeply regret the death of my dear friend Mari Carmen Vázquez, mother of the rejoneador Carlos Arruza, the matador Manolo Arruza and the actor Eduardo Capetillo.”
The mother who described him as ‘the precious child’
Doña Mari Carmen was known for being the wife of the bullfighter Eduardo Capetillo Villaseñor and, of course, for being the mother of Eduardo Capetillo. In a 1994 interview he revealed endearing details about the actor’s birth.
“The birth was quite good, I was conscious, I remember that when he was born and the doctor gave him to me, he told me ‘you have had a beautiful child, ma’am’, I think he was the only one of my children with whom I have cried with pleasure, with happiness,” she said.
It wasn’t just his favorite. She also remembered how her friends pressured her to take the little boy to castings because of his beauty. “My friends told me why don’t I take him to advertise a food, because he was a very cute, very tender child.”
A memory that resonates more strongly today while waiting for the official word from the family.
