During his appearance on the show "El Gordo y La Flaca" to promote his new series "Camino a Arcadia," Cuban actor William Levy found himself addressing the topic of his separation from Elizabeth Gutiérrez, the mother of his children. Host Raúl De Molina brought up the issue, and Levy didn't hesitate to set the record straight, especially when De Molina labeled him a womanizer.
“Has the separation been tough on the kids?” De Molina inquired. Levy replied earnestly, “I think separation is challenging for everyone, but now we're at a very peaceful and calm stage.” The actor emphasized that he's not actively seeking love or imposing conditions on women, preferring instead to let things happen naturally.
It was during this exchange that De Molina pressed further, asking, “Who was at fault in your relationship?” Levy coolly deflected, saying, “I don’t know, you can discuss that with Elizabeth whenever you want. I don’t talk about those things; gentlemen have no memory.” His response drew applause from Lili Estefan and others in the studio.
Not backing down, De Molina remarked, “But you’re quite the womanizer,” to which Levy shot back, “Not as much as you.” He clarified that attracting women's attention doesn't necessarily make someone a womanizer. “They've always tried to paint me with that image, but it’s not true,” Levy asserted. “What does being a womanizer mean? Obviously, I like women, and if that makes me the biggest womanizer in the world, so be it. But when I’m with a woman, I’m with her. There have been times in my life when I've been single and with someone else; that’s true, but I've never shared details of my personal life.”
As De Molina persisted, Levy firmly stated, “Don’t confuse things. I like women, but I like the woman I’m with at that moment.”
De Molina suggested that being part of a couple in the entertainment industry can be difficult, especially with Levy’s busy schedule of films, soap operas, and series, while Elizabeth was often at home with the kids. Levy countered, “I’ve also been home with my kids many times. Let’s be clear here, she’s had to work, and I’ve been the one staying home with them.”
He added that spending time with his children isn't a sacrifice but a blessing, and his current priority is being a good father. When he decides to bring someone new into his life, it’ll be a well-considered choice. “Now that you’re single, you can be a womanizer,” De Molina quipped, and with a slight smile, Levy responded, “What does that have to do with anything? Being single doesn’t mean being a womanizer. For me, being a dad is the most important thing in life. To be with someone, you have to choose them very carefully because they’re someone you’ll introduce to your kids; they must have great value in every aspect. I can go out, meet, and share time with someone, but to bring them into my life and introduce them to my kids, they have to be worth it.”
