Aylín Mujica Joins Ex Osamu Menéndez to Honor Late Son Mauro at Sea, Digi Mart USA News: Actress Aylín Mujica surprised followers by appearing alongside her former partner, musician Osamu Menéndez, for a deeply personal occasion. It was the first time in a long while that the two had been seen together publicly.
The Cuban actress and Menéndez appeared together on Instagram in photos taken by the ocean, honoring their son Mauro, who died suddenly in mid-July at the age of 32. In one post, Mujica wrote “Praying for your soul” and tagged her firstborn son.
The gathering also included other members of Mujica’s family, including her mother, Alina Ricard, and Violeta, Mujica’s younger daughter with Colombian singer Gabriel Valenzuela. The family reunion took place on Sunday, November 8, just under four months after Mauro’s death.
Mauro died from complications of pneumonia while traveling in Barbados. Mujica and Menéndez were married from 1993 to 1996, and their son was the only child they had together.
Menéndez is now married to Yoraisy Gómez, with whom he has another child.
Weeks earlier, Mujica had said the family would scatter Mauro’s ashes in the ocean. The telenovela actress said the remains would be placed at the Neptune Memorial Reef, an underwater cemetery off the coast of Key Biscayne, Florida.
“We are going to scatter the ashes in the only underwater cemetery in the world, called Neptune Cemetery in Florida, and it is full of symbols that Mauro loved,” she said.
