successful telenovela they starred in during 1989. Personal life In 2005, Buenfil became a mother, having given birth to Nicolás de Jesús. Controversy followed when the press pressured her to mention the name of the child's father, which she refused to do. She later revealed that the father of her child is the son of Mexican ex-president Ernesto Zedillo. When asked how her relationship with the father of her child is, she said in 2011 that "it does not exist. Doesn't know where he is, he knows nothing." She appeared on many TV shows such as Cristina and Don Francisco Presenta, where she talked about the hardships on being a single mother in the TV industry, but said she was going through the happiest time of her life being a mother to her child. On July 10, 2007, Erika Buenfil's mother Maria Martha died after complications from a rare disease that affected her heart.
