Fernando Colunga and Thalía were novios for a year and a half, but the relationship did not work out. "There were things which we did not like about each other.  We got along very well.  Every relationship brings beautiful things, but (eventually) everything got cold," Fernando said.  It is said that the relationship was so important that both still have a medallion which they wore always hung by a chain.  "It was a gift which we mutually gave each other and that at the present is still kept.  I believe that there are cycles, they come to an end, and how great that you can still remember someone in a beautiful way although the rest no longer exists!" he exclaims.

Colunga says that there was no resentment when the relationship was over, but it is rumored that they do not even speak to each other.  "There was a friendship.  The relationship simply was over, and here it remains.  I prefer to remember the beautiful things about people with whom I have been," he says.  It is certain that Thalía is water under the bridge.

"La Usurpadora," one of the most successful
telenovelas of 1999.  Left to right:  Giovan D'Angelo,

Fernando had already been cast as the leading man
when the starring role was offered to Thalía, who declined to accept it.  We will probably never know
if she simply felt that she could not deal with the emotional involvement of being on-screen lovers
with him again.
