Elín Ortiz Dies: Charytin Breaks Silence After Husband's Death; Read Heartbreaking Message

Charytin Goyco has always been characterized by her glowing smile and over-the-top personality. Right now, the Dominican personality is mourning the loss of her husband Elín Ortiz, who had been battling with Alzheimer's disease for many years. After news broke of his passing, Goyco took to Instagram to share a heartbreaking message.

"My dear husband Elín Ortiz," she wrote in the caption. "My life partner for many decates, the one who gave me so much love and protection has left to heaven. I am in profound sadness like my kids and family although I am sure, that he finds himself in this moment in a beautiful place next to God. Thank you to all the lovely public and my fellow artists and all of the press for giving me love and understanding ... your messages are in my heart and soul. Don Elín, I will love you for eternity."

In September 2015, Goyco openly talked about her husband's fight with the disease. "Elín has very advanced Alzheimer for many years," she told El Nuevo Día. "In recent four years everything has been accentuated to greater levels and I can't abandon him for one second. The Puero Rican producer had been facing this challenge for more than a decade. "It is time that everyone knows, although I have never hidden it from anybody because everyone around me already knew," Goyco said at the time. "The public always asks about him. This is something that I had never said in my life because it's very serious. I want you to know that I am not hiding Don Elín, I am protecting him."

At that time, the publication reported that Ortiz did not know who Goyco was anymore. "He smiles at me all the time but he doesn't say anything, he doesn't recognize me, but he knows that I am there," she said. "I smile back at him and he responds to me because I feel that in his heart, he knows who I am." Goyco was hosting gossip show "Paparazzi TV" in Miami and left the show to take care of her sick husband. "The show was not going to be produced in Miami anymore and they offered me the job to do it in Puerto Rico," she revealed. "I would've loved living there one or two years, but Elín can't travel, I cannot be making so many changes during this phase of his life."
