The brother of the translator of “La Bicicleta” took part in an interview on the show “Desnúdate con Eva” where he admitted that he has nothing to do with Carlos Vives because of the conflicts that originated from the restaurant they shared in a company called “Gaira”, located in Bogotá.

“I still don’t talk to Carlos,” he answered completely openly to Eva Rey, the host of the popular program broadcast on his YouTube channel. He continues, and the moderator of Spanish origin asks him: does that make you sad? “No,” he said firmly, followed by a laugh, which he wanted to emphasize that this is a topic from the past that he already wants to close and that does not disturb his sleep.

What happened to Carlos Vives’ brother?

Guillermo, who is a chef, mentioned that he no longer spoke to his brother and that the singer is not as close to his family as one would expect. He even assured that the musician is closer to his friends than to his own relatives.

“Carlos was not as famous as I was, as attached to his family as I was. I don’t know if being gay made me very attached to my family, my brothers, my mother. He doesn’t. As the paise mothers used to say at that time: ‘It’s dark in the house, but light on the street’. Carlos was always a friend and stuff, from his ghetto. I don’t really miss it,” he said.

Carlos Vives achieved the Guinness World Record for a virtual kiss

The dispute between them began in 2021, after Guillermo left the restaurant Gaira, which they both shared as partners. From that moment, the reproaches of both sides began.

According to what was reported by the newspaper Pulzo, that same year it was clarified that the restaurant was not a joint venture of the Vives Restrepo brothers, but that it was now Vives Vásquez. That’s because the singer is now a partner in the business alongside his wife, former Colombian beauty queen Claudia Elena Vásquez.

In a recent interview, he emphasized that the restaurant is like a son to him, because he has seen it grow since the first day, and explained that he still does not have enough courage to return to the restaurant, nor to walk down the street where it is located, because he has many mixed feelings.

In his statements, he also expressed that, although he mentioned on several occasions that he had lost contact with his brother, he would be ready to maintain a cordial relationship with him if given the opportunity.

However, he emphasized that it is possible that Carlos is the one who prefers not to meet him because he is simply convinced that he does not want to run in reality. “I don’t think he can find me… he runs, wherever he sees me he runs. It’s very difficult to face life, sometimes it’s very difficult to face reality”, Guillermo is categorical, talking about the wall that arose between the brothers. (AND)
