Yahir reveals his mother's Alzheimer's battle on La Casa de los Famosos

Singer Yahir, a contestant on the fourth season of La Casa de los Famosos Mexico, opened up about his mother’s struggle with Alzheimer’s disease during a live conversation on the reality show. He described how early signs of memory loss progressed to dangerous situations, such as leaving the stove on, prompting the family to move her into constant care. Yahir said his mother still greets him with affection, but often does not recognize him or recall recent events, adding “Me parte el alma” when speaking of the emotional toll.

He explained that he and his siblings now share 24‑hour caregiving duties, keeping her active and surrounded by family. The disclosure sparked an outpouring of support on social media and highlighted the broader impact of Alzheimer’s on families.
