Aylín Mujica and Ex-Husband Gather to Honor Their Late Son
The actress and musician Osamu Menéndez reunited by the ocean to pray for the soul of their son Mauro, who passed away unexpectedly earlier this year.
Actress Aylín Mujica surprised the public by appearing alongside her ex-husband, musician Osamu Menéndez, in a solemn family gathering by the sea. The former couple united to honor their son, Mauro, who passed away suddenly in mid-July at the age of 32.
Sharing updates on her Instagram account, the Cuban-born actress posted photographs from the shoreline where family members gathered. She captioned one of the images, "Praying for your soul," while adding a digital tag for her late firstborn son.
The emotional gathering took place on Sunday, November 8, just as the four-month mark approaches since Mauro's untimely passing. The young man lost his life due to severe complications from pneumonia while traveling in Barbados.
Alongside Mujica and her ex-husband, other members of the family attended the seaside tribute. Among them were the actress's mother, Alina Ricard, and Violeta, the youngest daughter Mujica shares with Colombian singer Gabriel Valenzuela.
The history between Mujica and Menéndez dates back to their marriage, which lasted from 1993 to 1996 and produced Mauro as their only child together. Despite their long-standing separation, the two reunited to support one another through the ongoing grieving process.
Weeks prior to the recent shoreline gathering, the television villain actress revealed plans to lay her son's remains to rest in a unique location. She previously stated that the family intends to scatter Mauro's ashes in the Neptune Memorial Reef.
The destination is an underwater cemetery situated off the coast of Key Biscayne in Florida. Mujica previously explained that the submerged resting place is adorned with various symbols that deeply resonated with her late son's interests.
