Cristian Castro Denies Being Gay

Faced with Valeria Liberman's supposed comments about his sexual preferences, the Mexican singer put down her statements

As Cristian Castro and Valeria Liberman move forward with the divorce process, the Mexican singer is challenging his soon-to-be-ex-wife to prove statements she supposedly made regarding his sexuality, La oreja (Televisa) reports.

"If she says I'm gay, she should back it up with proof," the 33-year-old singer quipped. "It's a huge lie...I don't think she has any evidence, and if she does, it would have to be a photomontage."

Verónica Castro's son also expressed sadness that Liberman, 33, has been sharing details about their marriage problems with the public. "If she's been doing that, I think it's really sad and a little unwise for couples to speak badly [about each other] when they break up. Everything that happens in a marriage is behind closed doors and should remain there," Castro expressed.

The singer also denied rumors that he hit the mother of children, 2-year-old Simona and 3-month-old Mikhail Zaratustra. "I always have intense relationships," Castro explained, "but that doesn't mean there was violence. Sometimes all the love can cause a few scratches, but in no way am I an abuser."

Another issue causing problems in their marriage was religion, Castro revealed, as Liberman hoped the children would grow up in the Jewish faith, and he did not. "There were a lot of differences that kept getting bigger and more dramatic: religion, nationality and, obviously, each of our strong personalities."
