Actor George Lopez Spent Years Estranged From His Daughter Until They Both Found Healing

Comedian and actor George Lopez made a lot of mistakes in his life. And one of them was becoming estranged from his daughter, Mayan Lopez. However, the two eventually found healing and restored their connection. And now, they're opening up about the experience to Kelly Clarkson!

Relationships are difficult, often tricky things in which to maneuver. Feelings are not always easy to articulate. Things can come out wrong, and actions can be misinterpreted. Feelings can be easily hurt and lead to massively damaged and broken-beyond-repair relationships. Relationships, especially between a parent and a child, must be handled with great care, love and sensitivity.

In a clip posted on YouTube, George Lopez and his daughter Mayan appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show and talked about their since-mended relationship and their sitcom, Lopez vs. Lopez.

A Broken Relationship Restored

The series, as Mayan mentions, is loosely based on her and her father’s previously strained relationship. However, she adds that the program is an opportunity for her to further heal from when she and her father, actor George Lopez, weren’t in a good place.

“This is such an opportunity to heal, and I always wanted my pain to mean something,” Mayan said.

She added that she has learned how to have empathy and to understand some of the things that her father did that she may not have agreed with in years past.

Actor George Lopez added that when growing up, people would disappear from his life. But he adds that as he became an adult, he wanted to break that pattern. He desired a relationship with his daughter.

“I finally realized that, as an adult, that I couldn’t and didn’t want to do that or go down that road anymore,” George said. “And that this person [his daughter Mayan] right here was the one love of my life, and one I would never let go for anything.”

Praise God that these two were able to mend a broken relationship and decided that they needed the other in their life.
