The legal battle between Maribel Guardia and her former daughter-in-law, Imelda Tuñón, is behind them, but their rift remains deep. In the midst of this, questions have arisen about whether the Lagunilla mi barrio star will one day allow her grandson José Julián to visit his father’s ashes. Currently, Julián Figueroa’s remains rest in a special spot at his grandmother’s home, and mindful of his seven-year-old grandson, she’s already made plans so he can see his dad’s ashes anytime he wants.

Maribel Guardia will be moving her son’s ashes into a church crypt so her grandson can visit them freely. Currently, the urn is placed in a designated area of her home in south Mexico City, which Imelda and José Julián can’t access since they no longer live there. To change that, Maribel explains:
“I’ve already purchased a burial niche for Julián at a church very close to my home...Someday it will be there so that the boy, if I never see him again, can have access to his father’s ashes—and that’s something I need to arrange in due time.”

When it comes to her relationship with Imelda, the 65-year-old actress its there’s no these days, yet she still holds out hope for peace—and only wants what’s best for her former daughter-in-law.“May God protect her, may God bless her, may God give her strength—because if she’s okay, the child is okay.”
Hope of reuniting with her grandson
As for seeing little Juliancito again—he turns eight on May 2—Maribel hasn’t lost hope.
