This week, Antonio Pérez Garibay and Lucía Méndez have made headlines for being seen holding hands. Antonio Pérez is the father of the famous race car driver Checo Pérez, while Lucía Méndez is a well-known soap opera actress. Despite repeatedly denying that there was any kind of romantic relationship between them, leaked images on social media confirmed that they are indeed dating.
In an interview with Maxine Woodside's program, Antonio Pérez spoke about the friendship that ties him to Lucía Méndez, whom he considers the 'Diva of Mexico.' He emphasized that they are both grandparents and have been divorced for over ten years, although he has an excellent relationship with his ex-wife. Currently, Antonio Pérez is single and getting to know Lucía Méndez, a woman he deems very intelligent and with whom he enjoys great conversations and fun moments. He assured that he doubts Lucía has enjoyed herself as much with another man as she has with him.
When asked if Antonio Pérez has introduced Lucía Méndez to his family, he responded that no, as he believes it’s not the right time yet. Although they are currently just friends, they have plans to travel together to Dubai, and if she agrees, they could formalize a romantic relationship, as Antonio would like her to be his wife. Thus, he made it clear that the next step in their relationship will depend on Lucía Méndez's willingness to commit to him.
