Mexican journalist Débora Estrella tragically died in a small plane crash in Nuevo León on September 20, 2025. Her ex-husband, reporter José Luis García, unknowingly covered the accident, only later realizing she was one of the victims.
The couple met while working in television and shared over 15 years together, including a decade of marriage. Estrella often celebrated their love publicly. On their ninth anniversary, she wrote, “Pure love, pure fun, pure complicity. What an incredible adventure this has been!

They divorced amicably in 2020, announcing it with a joint statement. Later, García reflected, “I hold on to the best of those 15 years we spent together.” Despite public speculation, he confirmed their separation was respectful and based on mutual decisions.
Estrella’s death has brought renewed attention to their story—one defined by affection, privacy, and dignity, even after parting ways. Their bond remains a reminder of love, loss, and the power of shared history.
