Diana Negrete had an adopted sister
We should remind ourselves that the Charro singer, Don Jorge Negrete, had two daughters: Diana Negrete Crochet and Gloria Virginia Guadalupe Ramos Luna. When Gloria was a little girl, Jorje Negrete and Gloria Marín decided to adopt her in their first years of his relationship, since they never wanted to have their own biological children, according to Infobae.
Actually, Diana Negrete Crochet was the only daughter the singer had with his first romance. It was 1940 when he married the actress Elisa Christy and two years later little Diana was born. The cause of their future divorce was the secret relationship the singer had with Gloria Marín.
Jorge Negrete had only one very spoiled daughter
On certain occasions, Diana claimed that her father had quite spoiled her and that he was also a very affectionate father. During the golden age of Mexican cinema, the now-deceased claimed that her father came to visit her daily at her maternal grandparents’ house and brought her gifts.
So much love she had for the Charro singer that after his death, on December 5, 1953, Diana Negrete decided to continue her father’s legacy. She did not achieve the desired success, since very little is known about Jorge’s daughter. These little details highlight the great love that father and daughter had.
