Mexico, May 2 (EFE) .- Enrique Peña Nieto, who presided over Mexico between 2012 and 2018, announced on Thursday that he has concluded the divorce process with telenovela actress Angélica Rivera, known as La Gaviota, whom she thanked for her company and I wish you success.
"Today our marriage has legally concluded, I wish it to go well always and to be successful in everything I undertake," the exmandatario said in a text posted on his Instagram account.
He thanked the first lady for having been his "companion, wife and friend for more than ten years and for having given his love, time and dedication to our family."
"Angelica, thank you very much for everything," Peña Nieto concluded in the text written on a sober white background.
Peña Nieto separated from Angélica Rivera, after leaving the Presidency of Mexico in the hands of Andrés Manuel López Obrador on December 1 of last year.
But the rupture of the couple was not made public until February, when the former president was seen in Madrid walking with the model Tania Ruiz.
Married since 2010 in second marriages, the wedding between Peña Nieto and Rivera was very popular because it united the then governor of the state of Mexico, the most populated in the country, and the famous telenovela actress.
From the beginning, the press saw the marriage as part of a media maneuver that improved the image of Peña Nieto ahead of the presidential elections of 2012, in which he won.
The presidential couple staged a scandal in 2014 for an alleged conflict of interest over the purchase of a luxury home known as the White House to contractors near Peña Nieto.
Angelica Rivera announced on February 8 on Facebook that she had taken the "painful" decision to divorce Peña Nieto.
"I deeply regret this painful situation for myself and our children, for this reason, I have made the decision to divorce," said the actress.
Rivera said that he "always" delivered "with love" his "time and effort to fulfill as wife, companion and mother."
Until now, Peña Nieto had not spoken out publicly about his separation, but he did step up in February to deny the media that published that the politician had moved his residence to Madrid
