Juan Carlos, the eldest son of the late Carla Duval, and nephew of Norma Duval has died at the age of 36, as we reported on Friday. Tragedy has struck the starlet again. The deceased had become a father just two months ago. At the beginning of the summer, his aunt was excited about her grandnephew and had expressed her intention to act as grandmother to the baby who would have been her sister’s first grandchild. Juan Carlos Rojas was the eldest son of the late Carla Duval.
Juan Carlos Rojas was Carla Duval’s eldest son, the result of a relationship she had with the Mexican businessman Rafael Rojas. He was the brother of the twins Paula and Andrea, daughters of the theatre producer Santiago Paredes, to whom the painter who died almost three decades ago was married. Carla Duval died at the age of 46 after battling cancer. Her eldest son was then twenty years old, while his sisters were girls of only eleven.
Juan Carlos Rojas was born on November 15, 1989 in Mexico City. At that stage of her life, Carla Duval had moved to the Aztec country for professional reasons. She lived there for four years during which she had a relationship with businessman Rafael Rojas. Carla was going to marry the father of her firstborn. But things did not go well and they broke up shortly after the child was born. Carla Duval returned to Spain with her baby. In 1996 she married the producer and theatre director Santiago Paredes, father of twins Paula and Andrea.
“A wound that never heals”
Norma, 68, recently confessed on television that she still misses her younger sister, who is eight years older than her. “I loved her more like a daughter than a sister. It’s a wound that never heals,” she said, almost crying. “Your children remember you as a wonderful mother. Happy Mother’s Day, wherever you are,” wrote Norma Duval on Instagram last Mother’s Day, a memory of her sister along with a picture of her with her three children, including the one who has just left us. After his mother passed away, Juan Carlos moved into an apartment and they rented the family home in Boadilla del Monte, with the little girls going to live with their aunt. But Norma Duval was always very close to her nephew.
Juan Carlos never wanted to exploit the fame aspect to earn a living, and he could have done so. His life was spent far from the spotlight, and there were few occasions when he could be photographed, such as at the baptism of his cousin Yelko’s daughter two years ago. Juan Carlos died this Thursday in the Madrid town of Boadilla del Monte. It has emerged that since the death of his mother his life was not the same and that he suffered from depression that he had not overcome. “He has decided to leave,” said the magazine. Hello. It is heartbreaking to remember that his death came just two months after becoming the father of his first child.
