Yolanda Andrade, the beloved Mexican television host, made a heartwarming reappearance on social media alongside legendary boxer Julio César Chávez, dispelling months of speculation surrounding her health. The clip, shared by Chávez on April 6, 2025, features the two friends in good spirits, directly addressing rumors about Andrade's supposed death. "Friends, here I am with Yolanda, you who have already killed her, buried her, here she is alive and kicking, look, having a good time for all those bad-natured people. We have Yolanda for a long time," Chávez declared in the video, offering a sense of relief to fans worried about Andrade's well-being.
The video, which was also posted on Andrade's Instagram stories, shows her in a calm and cheerful state, a stark contrast to the distressing news that had circulated about her health. Despite the lighthearted atmosphere in the clip, Andrade's health has been a significant concern. Producer Enrique Gou recently revealed that she suffers from multiple sclerosis, a condition that has noticeably impacted her health and forced her away from her artistic endeavors.
Andrade's decline in health has been evident for months, prompting friends and fans to rally around her during this challenging period. The emotional support from her peers has been crucial, as they try to navigate the difficulties posed by her illness. Andrade, known for her vibrant personality and resilience, has had to take a step back from her career, focusing on her recovery.
In a related event, on the same day as Andrade's social media comeback, another tribute to her unfolded in the world of professional wrestling. El Hijo del Santo, a prominent figure in lucha libre, held his last match at Arena CDMX, where he not only showcased his wrestling prowess but also dedicated his victory to Andrade. In a poignant moment, he won the mask of Misterioso Jr. and expressed his admiration for Andrade's strength in a heartfelt message shared on TikTok.
"My dear Joe, my beautiful Yolanda Andrade, I just got off the ring, a little beaten up but I'm fine, with another mask because the other one got broken. I won this mask, Joe, with all my heart for you and Mama Lita, for my dear Mariley and all the family. Sending you a kiss with much love," he said, visibly moved. This gesture resonated deeply with fans and highlighted the strong bonds within the entertainment community.
El Hijo del Santo's dedication took on additional significance given Andrade's ongoing battle with the aftermath of a cerebral aneurysm, which she has faced for the past two years. This serious health issue has forced her to step away from the limelight and focus on specialized medical treatment, marking a significant pause in her career as a host and actress.
The wrestling event was filled with nostalgia and emotion, bringing together notable figures from the lucha libre world, including LA Park, Fuerza Guerrera, and Último Dragón. Fans celebrated not just the athleticism on display but also the camaraderie and support shown among the wrestlers, particularly towards Andrade.
As El Hijo del Santo celebrated his victory, the audience recognized the emotional weight of the occasion. The mask he won now carries a symbolic value, representing the support and solidarity extended to Andrade during her health struggles. This moment of friendship and respect transcended the wrestling ring, reminding everyone of the importance of community in times of hardship.
Meanwhile, Julio César Chávez, who has been a steadfast friend to Andrade throughout her health crisis, also shared insights into her condition during an interview. He expressed his frustration over the unfounded rumors surrounding her health, stating, "You have seen her, she is delicate, but she is alive. You have already killed her, buried her, and said things that are, frankly, untrue. She is medicated, still in the process, but she is stable. Thank God, she is stable."
Chávez recounted how Andrade surprised him with a visit, emphasizing the deep bond they share. "I was surprised that she came to my house, but she wanted to see me. We are like brothers. I told her: 'Keep going, we will overcome this battle. You are a warrior; you have to keep pushing every day, don’t let it defeat you.' She took it with a lot of positivity," he shared.
Despite the challenges she faces, Andrade's resilient spirit continues to shine through, earning her admiration from colleagues and fans alike. The outpouring of support from the public reflects the affection and respect she has garnered over her long career in the entertainment industry.
As Andrade navigates this difficult chapter in her life, the solidarity shown by figures like Julio César Chávez and El Hijo del Santo serves as a reminder of the power of friendship and community. The wrestling world and Andrade's fans have united in their support, showcasing the profound impact of her presence in their lives.
Andrade's story is one of courage and resilience, as she continues to fight her health battles while remaining an influential figure in Mexican entertainment. The recent events highlight not just her struggles but also the unwavering support of her friends and the love from her fans, who continue to stand by her side.
