Julián Gil and Marjorie de Sousa have been embroiled in a controversial court battle that has played in the media like a telenovela. Lately, both sides are seeming coming to terms with the child support agreement and peace is peeking its head for the respective parties. The "Republica Deportiva" host is elated as he was able to see his baby Matías for the first time in six months and shared an endearing picture on Instagram. "After more than six months without even having a picture with you my dear son Matías," he wrote. "More than six months wishing for moments like this. Thank you God. We had 60 minutes together to spoil you and hug you once again. I hope this ends soon so that we can share more time together."

The main reason Julián Gil took Marjorie De Sousa to court was for the right to be able to see his son Matías, since then a legal battle has played publicly. Gil scored a victory, back in August, in the case as his legal representative informed Televisa Espectáculos that he was now able to see his son outside of the courthouse. The "Sueño De Amor" actor will also be able to spend time with his baby at his own home. A request has been made to De Sousa and the infant's doctor to notate the time the baby eats and any special care so that Julián is made aware.

Earlier in the year Julián Gil had won another battle after asking to see his son. A judge ruled that the actor could see Matias only an hour a week. "All I have asked for is to be able to see him," he told "Dando Candela." "If at this moment they only allow me to see him for an hour, that is what I will do. In all this process what I am fighting for is the rights of my son. I don't think a father should be limited to seeing their child unless they are a delinquent where a father represents a danger to the child, but if they are not a danger, the healthiest thing is to have a normal relationship."

After weeks of rumors, Marjorie de Sousa confirmed in April she had split from Julián Gil. "The relationship with Julián Gil has come to an end," she said in the statement. "There have been many versions, including statements from my team that were never offered. Nobody has said anything about the situation, for respect to my son, the public who I work for and because we are public figures that are exposed to personal situations like this that are not enjoyable to share and that at times one can judge without knowing." "There's a legal process from both sides, even though from my part I looked for an amicable and personal dialogue, that was not the case from the other party and that is why my team of attorneys will take care of everything, along with the Mexican law, that is where my son was born. They will decide how things go from now on."

Throughout the drama there has also been reports about a DNA test to prove that Julián is the father of Matías. "[Marjorie] asked for the paternity tests two weeks ago, which was denied by court because it was not petitioned correctly," Julián explained to "Hoy." "That's the same thing I asked for. I am asking for a paternity test and a DNA test but for it to be accepted, judicially you have to say 'annulment of paternity,' or else they would reject it."

Gil continued: "I know it sounds harsh but I am 100% sure that Matías is my son. I am asking for the paternity test to confirm, just like Marjorie, that he's my son. There's no doubt, there never was doubt, nor am I doing this to annul my paternity and take away my last name as they have said. I am doing it just as she did, to confirm the paternity and to tell the world that Matías is my son."
