As she bravely faced her battle with cancer, one of Edith González's biggest supporters was her 14-year-old daughter Constanza Creel. For the Doña Bárbara actress, Constanza was her rock, the pillar that would support her and give her strength in the most difficult situations. The little girl made her entrance on August 17, 2004, and right from the first moment, Edith was completely smitten. The Mexican star publicly introduced her new addition in an impossibly cute campaign for a baby product line which was a big hit with fans.

Mom and daughter shared many hobbies and interests. Being an actress, Edith introduced her daughter to the Arts from a young age. Constanza is a sporty girl who loves dancing, (she practices ballet and aerial dance) and surfing. They also shared a love of traveling. In a recent letter the 14-year-old wrote as a final farewell to her mother, Constanza named just some of the places they visited together, Paris, London, Vietnam, the whole of Mexico… the world was their playground! “My mum loved learning new things, whenever she didn´t know anything, she would ask,” she wrote.

Constanza has been described by her mom as a kind and sweet child with a golden heart. She also had to face the hardest moments with Edith, as the actress herself recalled on one occasion: “My daughter and I made a video just two hours before going through surgery. I thought, ‘how would I like to be remembered if things do not go well?’, and it was Constanza who recorded it, I sang and danced, it looked like I was on the beach.
