The death of the actress in March of last year due to cancer at the age of 77 led to a flood of information about her marriage to Carlos Canovas. The circle of the breakout star, who died in his native Barcelona, accused the producer of having been unfaithful.
The person who gave new information about Silvia Tortosa’s widower was Monika Vergara this Saturday, January 4, in Fiesta: “Carlos Cánovas continues with his life, with his partner, each one lives at home. He remains faithful to his criteria and his words when he said that he was not going to challenge the will. And that he was not going to talk about the time in which was with Silvia Tortosa,” commented the journalist.
The death of Silvia Tortosa
It must be remembered that after the death of the actress, the presenter’s entourage condemned Carlos’s attitude at all times. Cánovas assured that both shared a beautiful relationship of which he was proud. However, the actress’s cousins did not say the same. This is what they announced on the eve of the funeral: “He left her a few months ago and didn’t care about her”.
The artist, according to what they said, went through it “very badly” after Cánovas abandoned her months before his death. The artist, who was already suffering from serious health problems, fell into a depression that weakened her strength. “It caused him a lot of emotional problems”the cousins stated. And not only that: “They called him a week ago to tell him that Silvia was in her last moments and did not appear. “They are surprised that after not having cared about her at all, he now presents himself as the grieving widower,” they lamented.
The Catalan actress became very popular, especially in the late 70s and early 80s, because she was one of the presenters of the program Applausealong with José Luis Fradejas, even recorded some albums taking advantage of the momentum. But, in addition to film and theater, she was known for her participation in such successful series as Curro Jimenez, Hostal Royal Manzanares o Pharmacy on callamong others.
Silvia Tortosa left after suffering from an illness that she made public in 2019 and her media profile was rather discreet when her time came.
She met Carlos Cánovas in 2008, when she lived in his house in Madrid and the producer, in Las Lomas, in Boadilla del Monte. They became boyfriends and got married.
Before, Silvia Tortosa had been married twice. She divorced her first husband and was widowed by her second. And he received a good inheritance. Silvia Tortosa and Carlos Cánovas were married. They got married in USA, but under a regime of separation of assets.
The widow’s pension is received if the beneficiary does not remarry, as is the case: there was no termination of the marital union. As they explained to us after the death of the actress and as it happened, Carlos Cánovas himself did not plan to challenge the will of Silvia, with whom he was for 17 years. When they separated, on November 30, 2023, the actress already knew about her husband’s relationship with Marina Lozano. But that’s another story. We already told the details of the presenter’s inheritance. Cánovas was not among the beneficiaries.
