Gerardo Rozin he said goodbye to Argentine television giving an emotional speech in the toast for the last program of The Rock of Morfi of 2021. ”The personal toast for the first time I keep it. Why? Because I have it good. It’s nice to have the toast right. I have it good. I love those who love me. I love the ones I love. They know it”, she began, announcing that -next- she would go“straight” to talk about work; although in his case, the personal and the professional were intimately linked.
The journalist, who died this Friday at the age of 51 from a brain tumor, had been in a relationship since 2015 with the host of the program: Eugenia Quibel
After the sad news of Rozín’s death was known, her last great love wrote a reflection on social networks, and she did it together with a photo of the couple, smiling. “What is it to be brave? Finding out one morning about horrible news and fighting it to the end. Hold on to life and accept that one day it ends. Go through the process supported by affection, family and surrounded by friends. Receive love and let yourself be hugged. Cry, bitch, fight and think of a thousand and one alternatives. That’s what you are”, began Quibel.
Then, he continued his post with a tender list of things that he would keep forever: “Your brilliant ideas with witty exits, the generous suggestions for those who seek your opinion, your different humor, your ironies, your Rosario pride and a little Uruguayan too , the playlists of Frisell and Pizzarelli, ‘authentic pain, joy without a stain’. And each of our moments, the gastronomic discoveries (the good ones and the duds), the trips, teaming up on the radio, on TV and in life, and a list of intimate reasons that made me fall in love with you”. And he closed: “Here’s to you, scoundrel.”
In addition to The Rock of the Morfi, They did other projects together. They had known each other for several years, when they were partners on Radio Pop, but they also shared other projects, such as put it on, the program he hosted on Radio Uno.
Although neither exposed their relationship to the media, they did not hide either. In fact, the Telefe bar witnessed their love and it was there that they began to be seen more together.
Over time, they built a blended family that included Pedro and Elena, the driver’s children, and Emilia, the announcer’s daughter. “We are a normal, natural couple,” Rozín said in the last interview he gave to LA NACION, in November of last year.
On December 26, the day the journalist said goodbye to television with the last program of The Rock of Morfi In 2021, Quibel shared a photo with Rozín on networks “People I love, from whom I learn and with whom I have liked to work for many years,” he wrote.
For his part, in that interview that Rozín gave to this medium, he defined the announcer as an “extraordinary” person. “She has a very particular way of saying, she is an announcer with personality, which she narrates in a wonderful way,” he slipped on that occasion.
Quibel was the first couple with whom Rozín was shown since, after six years together, In January 2014, he separated from the journalist Carmela Bárbaro, with whom he had his daughter, Elena. Last year, when she graduated, the journalist shared a photo with the little girl in which she reflected: “The plan is simple. She grows up happy, free, beautiful and loved. As long as she works, I try to make her a comedy, because she likes her and because it is the best way outside of food that we Jews have to say I love you”. Those words reflect a lot about who this presenter was.
Prior to his relationship with Carmela Bárbaro, The Telefe driver married Mariana Basualdo, with whom he divorced in 2004 and was the father of his first son: Pedro.
“I name my children and smile wide. Parenting is one of the activities that I enjoy the most and that I take the most time to learn. I think I’m not bad. I am very grateful to have the children that I have.” Rozín told LA NACION in March 2021.
