The history of Lele Pon’s parents
Lele’s parents, Anna Maronesse and Luis Pons, made the decision to separate when she was a young girl. In a short time, Lele realized her father’s preferences, and despite the great surprise that it represented in her life, she understood it. In her documentary, The secret life of Lele Pons, she revealed: “When my dad told me he was gay, it was a surprise, but I didn’t judge him. I tried to understand it and eventually I did. I was like ‘ok you’re gay, I want to understand how you feel and what made you decide to marry mom, why are you telling me now? I just want to understand everything.”
Over time, the bond between father and daughter became stronger and very special. “I think we have the best relationship anyone can have. We are very close, we love each other,“ Luis Pons told the cameras. “She is brutally honest with me. When she has something to say, she always does. She will be able to say the most incredible and difficult things, but they are always wise and come from the heart, always from a great place,” added the designer.
At first it was very hard for her mother to accept it, but now her parents are close again. “My father has always loved my mom, but my mom was very hurt and confused and everything. But over the years, they became close and became friends again and support me in everything.”
