She then went on to claim that she wanted Levy's best, despite their differences, adding:

"I think I'm not the same girl I was 20 years ago when he met me. What we want at this moment is different. I will always love him, I will always wish him the best, and as I have always said, being with me or not, I want to see him happy."

When asked if her decision to part ways with William Levy was influenced by her family or public opinion, Gutierrez answered:

"My decisions are my own. I make them, I know when, and that's why maybe they see me at peace, happy, because I know I couldn't give more, I gave everything."

The news of their separation came two months after the Florida police were called to their shared residence over a domestic disturbance (on March 1).

In the police report, Levy's daughter, Kailey, told officers that she heard a female's voice, other than that of her mother's, from her parents' bedroom. As the teenager tried to enter the bedroom to further enquire about the matter, William allegedly "pushed her to prevent her" from entering.

However, in his statement, Levy denied pushing her daughter, claiming that he would never intentionally hurt Kailey and adding that he had been alone in the bedroom.
