Angélica Vale was blindsided by her divorce filing, discovering the lawsuit “by surprise” and becoming emotional while discussing the split, according to a recent interview with Univision Celebrities. The actress, known for her roles in telenovelas like La Usurpadora, detailed her shock and sadness regarding the end of her 14-year marriage to Omar Fayad.
The divorce, finalized in December 2023, concludes a relationship that began with an engagement in November 2010. Vale and Fayad wed in a civil ceremony in Miami followed by a religious service in Mexico City in February 2011. The couple share two children: Angélica Masiel, born in June 2012, and Daniel Nicolás, born in 2014. Vale recounted being caught off guard by the legal proceedings, stating, ”I saw the ring and I still didn’t understand,” reflecting her initial disbelief when Fayad proposed.
The split follows a period of separation, with Vale previously acknowledging challenges in the marriage. While details surrounding the divorce remain largely private, the Univision interview offered a glimpse into the actress’s emotional state as she navigates this new chapter. The divorce proceedings have concluded, but the impact on Vale and her children remains ongoing.
