María Elena Swett celebrated her birthday last weekend amid the intense legal battle she is having with her ex-partner, John Bowe, over the custody of their son. It is important to remember that the actress has not seen her child since the vacation in New York that began at the start of 2023. Since then, he has been with his father.
For this reason, Mane Swett has tried in every possible way to stay afloat in a trial that for several months seemed to lean in favor of the American citizen. In the meantime, while she continues to fight, the actress decided to return to her roots and get back into acting with rather small projects. For example, she has already met with Jorge Zabaleta and Belén Soto to record the long-awaited sequel to "Papi Ricky," and with three of her co-stars from "Brujas" for a promotional spot for the series "Bridgerton.
" However, her goal is clear, and as she mentioned to LUN a few months ago, "I am dedicated body and soul to my fight to regain my son, and that is my only priority. " She made this clear over the weekend when showing her birthday celebration: "Thank you, my good people, for all your birthday wishes, your good thoughts, and the strength you give me. " "Today I can only be grateful; times to celebrate will come.
I hug you all," she added, also noting, "April 11, 2026. 47 years and the same wish (it’s time for it to come true) #ResistMom. " Although Mane Swett did not explicitly state what her wish was, many claimed it has to do with the custody of her son and overcoming this legal conflict that has caused her so much distress.
