Los Morancos: Family Bonds And Comic Legacy

Jorge and César Cadaval celebrate their enduring career and personal lives.

Jorge and César Cadaval, the beloved comedic duo known as Los Morancos, have been captivating Spanish audiences for decades, first gaining fame through the iconic television show Un, dos, tres... responda otra vez. Their well-known humor, which employs witty parodies and socio-political commentary, continues to entertain and engage viewers even after 40 years on stage.

The brothers, originally from Seville, have maintained a close relationship not just with each other but with their families, who are often featured prominently alongside their comedic acts. Jorge, the older brother, has been happily married to American actor Ken Appledorn since October 13, 2007, during which they held both intimate and grand celebrations of their union.

César, on the other hand, has been married to Patricia Rodríguez for over three decades, creating their own vibrant family together with four children: Alfonso, César, Marta, and Patricia. Each family member plays a unique role both personally and professionally, with the brothers often sharing touching moments from their family lives through social media.

Particularly connected to their roots, Jorge and Ken live in Triana, one of the most vibrant and culturally rich neighborhoods of Seville. Their home, brimming with personality and color, reflects their love for art and design. With wide terraces and spacious, modern kitchens adorned with warm wooden beams and contemporary finishes, it’s easy to see why the couple has chosen to make this area their home.

Features of their home include high storage cabinets, allowing for effective use of space, and cheerful décor marked by wallpaper with playful motifs, such as mushrooms—adding quirkiness to what is evidently a cozy and welcoming environment.

Maite Cadaval, the sister of Jorge and César, also contributes to the family's creative legacy. While maintaining a lower profile compared to her brothers, Maite has made her mark as well, combining various professional talents, including teaching English and participating in local television programming. Her multiple appearances on Canal Sur, including the culinary show La cocina de Maite, showcase her ability to connect with the community and family value.

Along with Maite, the legacy of the family is deepened by the memories of their late brothers, Diego and Carlos. Their presence, though they are no longer alive, continues to resonate within the family and their fans.

Recently, the brothers appeared on the popular talk show El Hormiguero, hosted by Pablo Motos, where they not only promoted their latest project, Bis a Bis, but also revisited pivotal moments from their vibrant career. Their humor and charm remained intact, proving to everyone why they have remained relevant and beloved figures in Spanish entertainment.

While the public knows little about their personal lives, Jorge and César have opened up about their experiences, both personally and as part of the comedic duo. From delightful anecdotes about family gatherings to heartfelt discussions of the triumphs and struggles faced together, their stories reflect the importance of unity and laughter—a theme central to both their art and their lives.

With their latest performances and projects continuing to roll out, Los Morancos demonstrate commitment to pushing comedic boundaries and staying connected to their audience. It’s this dedication, along with their joy for life, love, and family, which guarantees we will see much more from these Sevilla natives as they bring laughter to new generations.
