When Ricardo Darín met Florencia Bas, He was still in a relationship with Susana Giménez, They were the great duo of their time, dominating movie theaters and magazine covers, and had been together for no less than eight years. At that time it was Susana and Ricardo They played the main role Sugarwith great success, at Lola Membrives.
Florence was 18 years old, I studied English translation and, like many women, longed for this gallant with sky-blue eyes and an infectious smile.. One night at the end of 1987, Florencia and Ricardo Their paths crossed for the first time at the corner of Corrientes and Talcahuano.
She was with a friend eating pizza and he left the theater and went to the pizzeria too. That’s what the witnesses said that night You couldn’t take your eyes offbut the meeting was nothing more than that, a sum of looks and smiles. Some time later, their paths crossed again: fate or the desire to see each other again led to another meeting in a bar near the theater. On this occasion, Darín did not resist her smile, he approached her and said gallantly: “Shall we dance?”. It was the beginning of a love story spanning almost 34 years and two children together.
Some time ago Ricardo Darín remembered the first time he saw his wife: “How can I not remember! It was a bright thing walking down the street. I couldn’t resist. I believe that the sense of smell is the sense I have developed the most. Not only was I not wrong, but I was and continue to be very, very lucky. Luckily she did He didn’t accept me right away and I liked that even more.. He also confessed to me that he didn’t really like me! I wasn’t a fan or anything. Together we were able to put together a nice team with Chino and Clara. The truth is that we see them and become prouder and prouder.”
Actress René Roxana, Ricardo Darín’s mother, told her own version of this first meeting in an interview: “Ricardo drank coffee and Flor walked past the sidewalk several times because she was looking for a phone to make calls. Ricardo stood up, stood in front of her and said: “I am in love with you and you will marry me.”‘. He was still with Susana when he met Flor. And he cried for Susana,” he said.
Whatever the case, that’s obvious From the start, Susana held no grudges, in fact, the three of them remain good friends to this day. Five months after meetingDarín and Bas got married. It was April 18, 1988. And in January 1989 the couple’s first child was born, Ricardo Mario, who is an actor and who today everyone knows as El Chino. Five years later, Clara, who works as a fashion designer, was born.
As they themselves said, The couple went through several crises, but there was one that separated them for two yearsbefore they bet on love again. It was 1999 and around that time, Darín said, “It was better to keep your distance and not stick to something that wasn’t working at the time.” The deterioration would have been inevitable. Us We distance ourselves at the right moment and don’t even get into an argument. It was all very loving. Not only was it my decision, but the same thing happened to both of us and we realized that meeting and being together was the best thing that had happened to us in our lives. I suffered a lot from this breakup, although I also had a great time. And the same thing happened to her,” he said.
They reconciled two years later and have been together and happy ever since. The actor once referenced that moment and said this Neither of them asked for details about what happened when they weren’t together.: “I am convinced that it is good to maintain privacy. If there are no secrets and you are absolutely dedicated to your marriage, you are defenseless,” he risked.
And he added: “The fact that our pulses did not tremble when we distanced ourselves, that we crossed the abyss of separation and that we finally recovered, is in itself enormously valuable.” We were re-elected and that strengthened the relationship“, he concluded.
When I recently spoke about the secret of his marriage, assured the actor LA NACION: “We love each other a lot, we have a lot of fun and we share almost everything. That’s the key to our 33 years: respecting our own individuality. When we fall in love with someone, we fall in love with who they are, and then in the questions of living together we want to adjust some aspects so that they are more functional for us, and that’s where we mess up. We try not to lose that. I’m grateful to be next to Florencia because Life is different with her in many ways. He saved me from 70,000 things“.
And about the experience of Share many hours during the strictest quarantinesaid: “We love each other and we love each other, but our life dynamics, as in almost all cases, It’s not about being together 24 hours a day. That doesn’t mean that we don’t have friction, or that some of us don’t get a little tired at some point listening to others all day… But the truth is that we face such little dilemmas with a lot of love because we love each other and know each other very well. Also with a lot of humor. Sometimes we notice that We’re two old ladies watching TV and it makes us laugh“, he commented with a laugh.
“These are things that certainly happen to everyone, but They show a very deep connection. And I think we got a pretty good grade. We had a lovely time together. We look for ways to have fun and accompany each other. We also train a lot together We go for walks, we take the dogs, we ride bikes, we run on the treadmill and now we’re starting to play tennissomething she never wanted to do in her life. Since he always sees me playing tennis, he told me that I would learn. We really had a lot of fun.”
Whenever he talks about his intimacy and especially his love story with Florencia, Ricardo only praises her: “Florence saved my life”he told a Spanish media outlet a few years ago, which quickly turned that headline into viral news.
In the same interview, the actor commented, “You have to feed the couple daily, and I don’t think it’s just about sending flowers. Deliberate things don’t work.” To maintain freshness, one must listen to others, care for them, and make them notice, and not fall into routine. And you need sincerity, the courage to fight if necessary, and not fall into the politically correct mode of swallowing over and over again until you burst.”
Finally, she also talked about how the relationship has changed over the years: “It’s not the same anymore. Florencia is constantly changing, she’s in constant motion. Every day she surprises me in some way, it’s incredible. She’s a woman who doesn’t allow any kind of routine. To say that she has given my life meaning is an understatement; without a doubt she has saved it for me.” She is a fierce fighter and is afraid of nothing. And what she has done for our children is amazing. I also contributed my grain of sand, but that can’t be compared“.
