BY Sandra Lucario-. In early May 2023, Michelle Salas posted a photo on Instagram with her partner Danilo Díaz Granados, announcing their engagement. From that moment on, the questions revolved around one central doubt: would Luis Miguel attend the wedding?
Stephanie Salas’ daughter and her father had a difficult relationship. The comings and goings of their relationship have been full of controversy: from 1989, when the singer was asked about his paternity, to 2021, when Michelle Salas responded to what was told in “Luis Miguel, the series” and even asked with the constant whether he will free her at the altar.
Michelle Salas was born on June 13, 1989 in the Pinal Dynasty. As the great-granddaughter of Silvia Pinal, granddaughter of Sylvia Pasquel and daughter of Stephanie Salas, her arrival in this world was like “a ray of light”. Her mother, an actress and singer, said in 2018 that the announcement of her pregnancy reminded her of the maternal affection she felt for her sister Viridiana Margarita Frade Banquells, who died in an accident at the age of two.
The actress recalled the “courage” she must have had to defend her pregnancy, both to her family and to Luis Miguel, to whom she broke the news in the first months of her pregnancy, when he assured her that everything would be fine. It was okay that He would be there and that nothing would be missing, even if they lost touch later.

There are people who claim that the Sun “sent things to the girl until at a certain point, overwhelmed by the pressure, he said he would stop it until she turned 18.” This “pressure” was the result the alleged demands of Silvia Pinal, “who insisted that Luis Miguel take care of the girl in trust”.
The Mistakes of an Absent Father
As for Luis Miguel, the message he conveyed through the media was different. The singer was in his early 20s when Michelle was born. In the same year, the open secret wanted to be clarified by Verónica Castro, who was the first to have the opportunity to ask him: “What, are you a father?” “El Sol” became defensive and assured that it was an invention.

It wasn’t until 2005 that Michelle Salas was responsible for solving the mystery. She was 16 years old when she first spoke about her father in an interview with Who magazine. In it, she complained that the hardest part about being Luis Miguel’s daughter was “people keeping secrets behind my back.”
At the time, Michelle said she was “about three years old” when she found out Luis Miguel was her father, sharing that she stopped seeing him “at about six years old.” He also said, “Maybe there are a lot of people who pay thousands of pesos for a ticket and wait for hours to get it. I will never do it. If you want me to go, invite me.”
In the same interview she was asked about Aracely Arámbula and Michelle said that she remembered her from the soap opera “Amigas y Rivales” but that she was neither interested in meeting her nor worried.
The distance between father and daughter decreases (not without some obstacles in between)
In 2007, Luis Miguel finally started a relationship with his daughter. In November of the same year, the hosts of the “Hoy” program claimed that Michelle Salas had undergone a DNA test that came back positive and speculated that Aracely Arámbula was one of the organizers of the meeting.
A few years ago, lawyer Ilan Katz announced that Stephanie Salas wanted to hire him to sue TV Notas for harassing her daughter. However, the focus of the case was the payment of alimony. Katz began the procedures, which ended with a positive DNA test. Michelle had managed to meet her father and since then they began a relationship.

In March 2008, a new conflict broke the relationship between Michelle Salas and her father. The newspaper “El Centro” published photos in which the manager and the young woman appeared “tender.” The publication revealed the emails in which Alejandro Asensi confessed to Michelle that things had gotten out of control with her. At this point, Luis Miguel was already Miguel’s father.
In the book “Oro de rey” it is mentioned that “El Sol” felt betrayed after learning about the romance.
Months later, the news was no longer the advertisement, but Michelle’s alleged pregnancy. At the end of the year, a day after the birth of her brother Daniel, Qui magazine published the headline “Luismi becomes a grandfather” and explained that Michelle and Alejandro Asensi were expecting a baby who would be born in the summer of 2009. At the time she was 19 years old old and he is 39. However, the pregnancy was never confirmed.
In the book “Oro de rey” they mention that although the contract that Luis Miguel had with Alejandro Asensi expired in 2011, it ended earlier, firstly because of “the scandalous relationship with Michelle Salas” and secondly because of the handling of the finances of the singer.
In April 2017, their relationship seemed to be going from strength to strength. Michelle posted congratulations to her father on Instagram and a photo of her next to him.
The “unfortunate” version of the story
The controversy came again with Luis Miguel, The Series. In the second season, the Mexican singer’s story included the alleged story of how he met Stephanie Salas and his relationship with Stephanie Salas. The treatment of the characters they portrayed forced them to demand respect and demand justice.
Michelle mentioned that it was unfair that they had used her life and story “as if they had the rights to it and also distorted it to their advantage.”
It took two years for the relationship to be repaired. It was on September 15 last year that Michelle Salas was filmed at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas, at the concert with which Luis Miguel began his 2023 tour. The influencer sat in the front row, accompanied by her fiancé Danilo Díaz Granados. Alejandro Basteri and Mariana Otero, with whom he had previously dined at the Wazuzu restaurant.
