Despite the heartache, Legarreta views their decision as a positive step. "It is sad, but it is also healthy," she explained.

Both Legarreta and Rubín continue to wish each other the best, travel together, and maintain their family unit. "If we managed to travel and continue to be that family that embraced, that supported, that continues to support, that continues to ask for advice, it seems to me more than a failure, a triumph," she concluded, underscoring their commitment to their daughters and their enduring bond.
