In addition, he starred in other successful melodramas such as “Nunca te olvidaré” (1999), “Salomé” (2001) and “Doña Bárbara” (2008).
In 2004 González had a daughter with the politician of the conservative National Action Party (PAN) Santiago Creel, who recognized the relationship and his daughter in 2008.
