Helena Rojo was, for many years, one of the most respected figures on Mexican television thanks to her participation in renowned productions such as “Be careful with the angel”, “Abrázame very strong” and “Amor real”.
Although the career of the Mexican celebrity is very extensive, probably her most remembered work was her leading role in “El privilege de amar” in 1999, a production in which she shared credits with Andrés García, Adela Noriega and René Strickler and for the who received the TVyNovelas Award for Best Leading Actress, one of the 13 she received in her career.
Despite her great fame, the actress was always very discreet about her personal issues, including her relationships, since it is only known that she reached the altar on two occasions.

HELENA ROJO’S HUSBANDS
1. An unknown husband
Although little is known about a marriage, the actress revealed that she married at the age of 17 and became the mother of three children before turning 22. After this, she found refuge in her mother to become an actress and get ahead, since her first partner abandoned her. After this, she starred in love stories with Juan Ferrara and Benjamín Fernández.
2. Juan Ferrara
The actress married Juan Ferrara in 1976, when she was 31 years old and was already the mother of her three children.
With her husband, the actress began a theater tour of several cities in Mexico, a project she discussed with Gilberto Marcos’ “Foro” program in one of their few appearances together.
“It is the only medium in which we can decide to work. We do the company, the work, we decide the distribution and every year we tour the entire Republic. We do theater together… On television the producer has to decide that we do a soap opera and on this occasion we are the ones who decide,” commented the actress.
The relationship lasted just over a decade and was surrounded by various myths, many of which pointed to a problematic separation, but which none of them dared to accept. One of these was that Rojo opposed Carla Estrada, producer of “The Privilege of Love” giving the role of Father Juan de la Cruz to Ferrara, threatening to leave the recordings if this happened. Finally, César Évora took the role.
Despite this, neither party confirmed or denied the rumor, but instead opted for silence, a very common position in the life of the actress, who waited several years later to explain the reason for her silence.
“I avoid talking about that relationship because it took me a lot of work to break down the image we had as a couple, I had to restart my career when I got divorced. Juan always behaved very well with my children and it is to them that I have to thank a lot, because they were an impressive support in the moments when I felt like a dog without a rope,” he indicated.
In the same way, Helena rescued the relationship she built with Ofelia Guilmain, mother of her then husband and who was also dedicated to acting, ensuring that “she came to love him like a mother,” but that, despite this, she decided to separate her Ferrara roads.
3. Benjamin Fernandez
Unlike Juan Ferrara, Helena Rojo’s last husband was a figure away from television, marking an even more discreet stage in the actress’s career.
Benjamín Fernández and Helena Rojo married in 1988 and their relationship continued until the last days of the actress’s life, demonstrating the strength of their marriage. Despite this, there is little information available, as the actress was always reluctant to reveal details of her relationship.

Helena Rojo, whose real name was María Helena Lamadrid Ruiz, was a Mexican film, theater and television actress who died at the age of 79 in Mexico City.
The actress was part of important Televisa productions such as “Love has a woman’s face”, “Mariana of the night”, “The privilege of loving”, “Hold me very tight” or “Be careful with the angel”.
