Juan Osorio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Juan Osorio (born c. 1960) is a well known Mexican telenovela and music producer.

[edit] His relationship with Niurka Marcos

Osorio met Niurka Marcos in 1998. He helped the Cuban singer, dancer and actress get her children from Cuba to Mexico, and then, he helped her show business career take off by producing various CDs and soap operas in which she starred. By 2001, they had moved together. Things seemed to go well with the couple, and in 2003 they moved to a new mansion. The couple had one son together.

[edit] The breakup scandal

Dia de los Inocentes, the Latin American version of April Fool's Day, is held in Latin America early in January. Osorio and Marcos had planned to get married in February of 2004, but Marcos suddenly announced to the press that the wedding was off, on Dia de los Inocentes of 2004. It was initially thought by most of the Hispanic media that this was a joke. As it turned out, Marcos had been having a relationship with Bobby Larios, whom Osorio had cast as male star of Marcos' next telenovela.

Osorio, who had admitted to having used drugs in the past, went into a depression after the break-up, and he returned into a rehabilitation center, to prevent falling into a drug habit again. While Marcos spared no insults against her former partner, he remained gentlemanly, declaring on television that he could not speak bad about his son's mother.

Osorio, who was used to be a behind-the-cameras type of man, gained much recognition through his romance with Niurka Marcos and after their break-up, and he is constantly shown on Univision and Telemundo shows that comment about his daily doings. Niurka Marcos married Bobby Larios one month after separating from Osorio.

[edit] After Niurka Marcos

Juan Osorio has most recently been seen with buddying singer Sandra Montoya, who claims that they are only friends, but who also has dedicated a song to him.

He is planning to make a straight to video film about Niurka Marcos and her life, fact which Marcos has not received with open arms; she does not want Osorio to reveal private details of her life to the public.

On July 12, he went to a radio station to be interviewed, and his comments about Cubans caused another scandal, this time within the Latin American community. His comments about Cubans were taken as racist by many, and Osorio later staged a press conference at the Cuban embassy in Mexico City, apologizing for the comments.
