Kate del Castillo, Raúl Méndez Dating? ‘ESDLC’ Actor Reveals Details About 'Relationship'

Rumors began to intensify over the 4th of July weekend that Kate del Castillo and Raúl Méndez are dating. An alleged “source” revealed to a Mexican publication that “La Reina del Sur” leading lady and Chacorta from “El Señor de los Cielos” have been keeping their romantic relationship away from the spotlight for a few months. The actors met while shooting the horror flick “Visitantes,” where they played husband and wife and shared a few sweet moments on screen.

“When I found out Kate was going to be in this movie, I knew it was going to be successful,” Méndez told People en Español back in May 2015. “When I met her I realized she is an extremely professional woman. Even though she’s reached so many highs as an actress, she’s still doing everything very humbly and passionately. She really commits.”

The alleged source claimed that after the movie, Méndez moved to LA to pursue his crossover from the Hispanic market to the Anglo market, where Kate “selflessly helped and encouraged him, which made them spend more time together,” according to the source. “All that time they spent together made their relationship grow from a friendship to something romantic that he doesn’t want to confirm until both of them agree to do it.”

However, if you were getting all excited about the relationship, don’t be. Raúl ended with all the rumors when he took to Twitter to say that they weren’t true. “People, I recommend reading less gossip and buying more books! Oh, and remember to eat your fruits and veggies,” the actor wrote in Spanish on the social media.

He also spoke to El Siglo de Torreón, to make things even clearer. “Poor people from the sensationalist media who don’t have new content and resort to boring us with the same gossip from years ago,” Raúl told the Mexican outlet. “Kate and I are still the same good friends we’ve always been, in fact, I haven’t seen her in a while because she’s been busy with work and so have I.”
