Laura Flores Signs Exclusivity Contract With Telemundo After Abandoning Televisa

Laura Flores has made it official and signed an exclusivity contact with Telemundo after leaving Televisa.The Mexican actress had been rumored for weeks to have left the production house that made her the star she is. "Laura Flores is one of the most recognized actresses and personalities on Hispanic television," said Joshua Mintz, Executive Vice President of Scripted Programming and General Manager of Telemundo Studios. "We are proud to have her in our list of talents where she will be starring in future projects at Telemundo Studios." The actress was also very excited with this new venture and she wrote on Twitter, "It is now official, Telemundo is my new home, thank you for the opportunity."

Laura Flores has been the lead in hit telenovelas like "El Alma No Tiene Color," "Gotita De Amor," "Piel De Otoño" and "Siempre Te Amaré." The actress is rumored to be part of two upcoming productions, one is a special guest star on a remake of "El Cuerpo del Deseo" and the other one in a new production tentatively titled "Reina de Corazones." Both soaps will be shot in Miami, Florida, and will be commuting back and forth from Texas as that is where her family resides. Her last telenovela in Televisa was "Un Refugio Para El Amor" with Zuria Vega and Gabriel Soto. It was her role in this production that made producers offer her the lead role in their telenovela "Por Siempre Mi Amor," but it was later confirmed she would not be the star as they opted for Susana Gonzalez instead. Many speculate this is what triggered Flores to look for other opportunities outside of what she knew as her home.

Earlier this year Laura Flores revealed she has married her beau Eduardo Enrique Fonseca in a highly secretive wedding in San Antonio, Texas. The 50-year-old actress and Fonseca, 57, had a civil marriage as well as a marriage through the Lutheran church, which the "Piel de Otoño" actress converted to four years ago. Eduardo is a divorced man and a father of three. "I said yes to Eduardo because he won by children," the actress told TVNotas. "We have been together for a year and a half and I am sure that he is the man of my life."
