"He is fine, however the injuries he suffered are delicate and in the next few hours, he will have to undergo surgery. The operation is very complicated, but it does not compromise his health," she wrote in a letter posted to both of their respective social media accounts.
"The recovery process will be long and difficult since he will have to rest for several weeks and then undergo rehabilitation therapies," Rosaldo continued.
The "Sentidos Opuestos" singer noted that it was important to their family to share news about Derbez's condition at their own discretion, and shared they would be taking time as necessary to focus on his health.
